2 min read

M a r i l y n E. (G a r e e) Kirkpatrick, age 78, of Fayette City, Pa., passed away Friday, March 30, 2012.

She was born April 23, 1933 in Jefferson Township, Fayette C i t y, Pa., the d a u g h t e r of J. C. and Elizabeth Garee.

Taking her first job at age thirteen, Marilyn later worked for P. & L.E. Railroad in Pittsburgh and following her retirement there, worked at the jewelry counter at Macy’s in West Mifflin, Pa.

Perhaps more than anything, Marilyn will be remembered for her warmth, intelligence, and generosity of spirit which was apparent to everyone who knew her—most of all her family, but her friends and acquaintances as well.

Marilyn enjoyed reading, vacationing at the ocean with her family, and watching hummingbirds from her back porch.

She was preceded in death by her parents; and husband, Wilbur ‘Buddy’ Kirkpatrick in 1995 to whom she was married for 43 years.

Marilyn is survived by her daughter, Sherry Askey and husband Robert of Fayette City, Pa.; her daughter, Teri Kirkpatrick and George Earley of Garrett, Pa.; sister, Nancy Smock and husband William of Newell, Pa.; grandson, Ryan Askey and wife Jennifer of Pittsburgh, Pa.; grandson, Derek Askey and Dina Acklin of Fort Collins, Colorado; and many nieces and nephews.

Friends will be received on Monday, April 02, from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. in the ELEY-McCRORY FUNERAL HOME INC., 334 Main Street, Fayette City, PA (724.326.5621) www.- eleymccroryfuneralhome.com

Funeral Services will be held on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 at 11 a.m. in the Funeral Home with Pastor Kelly Schanely officiating.

Interment will follow in LaFayette Memorial Park, Brier Hill, Pa.
