Marilyn J. Wincek, age 78, left this earth to enter her eternal home of Glory, October 4, 2013.

She was born July 31, 1935 in Massillon Ohio, the daughter of the late John and Ruth (Mobley) Ware.

She was a beloved and dedicated member of Faith Family Church and seldom missed a service to praise God and enjoy His presence.

Marilyn was known and loved for her sense of humor and infectious laugh. She was always a steady and calming presence in her family's life which is attributed to her faith and love for God. Her fondness for all flowers, birds and nature was passed on to her daughters and grandchildren. Holidays were her joy and she spent weeks preparing her home for her family in celebration. Marilyn's pies were second to none, cannot be duplicated, and will never be forgotten.

Marilyn is survived by her daughters, Diane Gray, Jana (Val) Burson, Karen (Tab) Brown; brother, Jack Ware, sisters, Jane Nolt, Lois Hauser, and Ruth Reichenbach; grandchildren, Kara Day, Matt Lanter, Alex Gray, Trace, Stephen, Jennell, and Kariana Brown.

She was preceded in death by brother, Bob Ware; sister, Jean Vette; and grandson, Tanner Brown.

Memorial Services will be held Friday, October 11th at Faith Family Church (entrance D), Banquet Room, 8200 Freedom Ave. NW, North Canton, OH 44720. Calling hours from 5:30 to 6:30 with service immediately following.

Marilyn's family is walking in her honor Saturday, Oct 12th @ 8:30am, at Jackson Park to benefit the National Alzheimers Association. In lieu of flowers we invite you to join us or make a donation in her name to: act.alz.org Please enter your donation to the 2013 Walk to End Alzheimer's - Canton/Massillon, OH on behalf of Matthew Lanter for 'Team Grammie'.
