Marilyn Joy Lubahn

Marilyn Joy Lubahn, age 67 passed away on July 30, 2020.  Marilyn was born on March 5, 1953, the daughter of John and Janet (Donze) Manthei.  She was a 1971 graduate of Leslie High School.  On July 10, 1970, Marilyn married David Lubahn, and they enjoyed 47 years together until his death in 2017.

Marilyn successfully transformed Oakview Adult Foster Care into a well-respected home for the elderly as an owner there from 2006-2015.  She then retired to spend time with her loving husband, and they enjoyed being with their grandchildren.

Marilyn's grandchildren were her heart.  Everything was about and for them.  She loved traveling, with no particular destination in mind and finding adventures in interesting, little-known towns.  She loved bowling in adult/youth leagues with Trenton and Miles and having Jenna and Laura over to swim in her new pool.

Marilyn was preceded in death by her husband, her father, and her brothers John Manthei, Jr., and William Manthei. Marilyn is survived by her mother Janet Eileen (Donze) Norris, Stepfather Ivan Norris, her sister Lisa (Eric) Cooper, her children Kirk (Tara) Lubahn and Shana (Justin) Lipsey, and grandchildren Jenna and Laura Lubahn, Trenton and Miles Lipsey.

A Celebration of Marilyn's Life will be held at a later date.  Arrangements by Girrbach Funeral Home.  To leave an online condolence visit www.girrbachfuneralhome.net .
