Marilyn Sue Weaver-Osborn-Lowe, passed away at the age of 69 on January 31st, 2026 in Theodosia, Missouri after a very long & difficult battle with sarcoma cancer.

 

Marilyn was born to Melvin (Bud) and Ollie Faye Collins Osborn on December 8th, 1956. She was raised in Twin Bridges Missouri and attended Dora School. Marilyn married Jackie Lloyd Lowe on September 24, 1976. They were married until Jackie passed on August 17th, 1986. After this union she moved to Willow Springs, where she resided for the past 50 years.

 

Marilyn worked at the West Plains Shoe Factory for nineteen years. After her work at the shoe factory, Marilyn was a part of the first graduating class in the Respiratory Therapy program at OZH hospital. She worked as a Respiratory and Sleep Therapist for OZH and TCMH for 22 years.

 

In her younger years, Marilyn played softball with enthusiasm and skill, often outplaying the many men she played with and against. Marilyn also enjoyed many hobbies, especially sewing and quilting. Marilyn was the kind of person that never knew a stranger. One of her favorite things was to play pranks on her brothers by enlisting the help of her children. Even though she was always friendly, Marilyn could chew you up one side and down the other if you made her mad. Above all, Marilyn loved her family deeply and often brought them up in conversation.
