WAKEFIELD, Mich. – Marilyn Rhea Karling, 84, passed in peace Wednesday, May 22, 2019.

Marilyn was preceded in death by her parents, William and Linda Karling and all of her brothers and sisters.

She was a beloved aunt, sister, sister-in-law, daughter and friend and took great joy in her family, walking, biking and cheering on the Wakefield Cardinals (where she was awarded the "Super Fan Award") and then Bessemer Speedboys (after moving to Bessemer – she believed you had to represent your home town).

Marilyn was a wonderful human being that was loved, is missed and will always be cherished.

Private services will be held at the Lakeside Memorial Chapel.

Jerald Rocco, owner and manager of Lakeside Memorial Chapel Inc., in Wakefield is assisting the family. Condolences may be expressed online at lakesidememorialchapel.com.
