Marilyn Ruth Siebert Brisbois, “I am the way and the truth and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me” John 14:6. Born in Springfield, Illinois on May 21, 1933 to Ferdinand and Helen Wilson Siebert, Marilyn has been a resident of Murfreesboro, TN and Lake Worth FL for over forty years. Marilyn loved the Lord Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. She welcomed being an earthly vessel for His good to all she encountered.

After raising four daughters of her own, Marilyn welcomed the children of John Shearron into her life and then upon his death she expanded her heart to include the children of Joseph Brisbois, her husband at the time of her death.

Marilyn filled her life with the things she loved the most. She was an accomplished artist and an Permanent member of the Tennessee Watercolor Society and the Nashville Artist Guild. While she loved everything associated with the out of doors, the sport she loved the most was golf. She was a fierce competitor even with her dearest friends. On Monday’s you would find Marilyn in the company of her prayer group. These blessed friends have worshipped and prayed together for over thirty five years. Marilyn loved her church, St. Mark’s United Methodist Church where she joyfully sang in the choir and was an active member since 1970.

Preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Frank Siebert of Springfield, Illinois, and her husband H. Joseph Brisbois.

Survived by her daughters, Julie C. Mills (Jim), Susan C. Hundley (Pat), Betsy L. Child (Paul Barber), and Nancy Kendrick (Kent). She is also survived by her step children Mary Elizabeth Weaver, Pat S. Sumners, John Shearron Jr, (Donna), Martha Jones (Tim), Cathy Brisbois, Richard Brisbois, Mary Hoffman (John), Barb Jensen, Chris Beard (Robert), Cheryl Rubendust (Kurt), Amy Beattie (John), and John Brisbois (Sophia). Marilyn cherished her time with her 13 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren, friends and wonderful neighbors. She will forever remain in all of our hearts.

Services were held on Wednesday, May 10 at St. Marks United Methodist Church, Murfreesboro TN.

The family received friends from 3:30 to 5 p.m. followed by Marilyn’s Celebration of Life Service at 5:15. All who loved her are welcome.
