Marilyn J. Slorp's Obituary
SLORP, Marilyn J., age 92, of Lebanon, passed away Friday, May 20, 2022 at Atrium Medical Center in Middletown.
Marilyn graduated from Lebanon High School, class of ’47. She received a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing from Central State University. After earning her degree, she worked as a RN for Centermed Family Practice in Centerville for 18 years and an additional 10 years at Warren County Developmentally Delayed, where she retired in 1991. She attended the Lebanon Presbyterian Church since 1961. As an active community member she was a 4-H leader, a member of the local book club and card club of Lebanon, a volunteer for the Lebanon food pantry, and a dedicated volunteer with the Warren County Historical Society. She was also regularly involved with the Miami Valley Foundation Luncheon.
One of Marilyn’s favorite things to do was visit with friends and family, boating, and camping. During the warmer months, she greatly enjoyed being outside and working in her garden. She was well known for her cookies and baking skills. The tradition of having family gatherings during the holidays and creating a meal for everyone to enjoy will be among the many things she will be remembered for.
She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 70 years, Donald “Gene”, in March 2022; her parents Bruce and Estella Young; and one sister Kay Mulford. She is survived by one son Daniel Slorp; two daughters Elizabeth “Libby” (Richard) Campbell and Sara (John) Stegemoller; three grandchildren Benjamin (Kendra) Stegemoller, Eric (Negin) Stegemoller, and Nicholas Campbell; and one great-grandchild Theodore Stegemoller.
A graveside service will be 10:30 AM on Saturday, June 11 at Lebanon Cemetery. Stubbs-Conner Funeral Home in Waynesville is serving the family. If desired, contributions may be made to a charity of your choice. Condolences at www.stubbsconner.com.
Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep, I am in a thousand winds that blow, I am the softly falling snow. I am the gentle showers of rain, I am the fields of ripening grain. I am in the morning hush, I am in the graceful rush of birds in circling flight. I am the star shine of the night. I am in the flowers that bloom, I am in a quiet room, I am the birds that sing, I am in each lovely thing. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there. I did not die. - Mary Frye
