Marilyn Mitton Roth's Obituary
Marilyn was born in Brigham City, Utah on November 28,1942, to James Wesley Mitton and Claudia Mae Larsen. She passed away on December 14, 2023, from her third battle with cancer. She felt that her two previous cancer miracles gave her an extra fifty years with family and friends.

Marilyn loved animals. We teased her that Buffy was her sixteenth and favorite child. She loved birds of all kinds, especially her owls and the hummingbirds she fed.
Marilyn loved to shop! Her favorite thing was to find the biggest bargain she could while shopping. She also loved to travel and cook. She showed her love to others by cooking and baking delicious food for them.
Marilyn chose to have a small family service. It was held at the Hyrum cemetery on Tuesday December 19, 2023.
