Marilyn Gutterridge, 89, of Danville, passed away on Monday, November 23, 2020. She was born on June 13, 1931 the daughter of Helen (Moore) and Everett Gaumer in Chicago, IL.

Marilyn is survived by her children; Gayle (Rick) Story of Danville, Illinois; Julia (Tim) Kittell of Hopkinsville, Kentucky; David (Monroetta) Gutterridge of Bismarck, Illinois. Six grandchildren also survive her: Matthew Kittell of Louisville, Kentucky; Natalie (Eric) LeMarbre of Brentwood, Tennessee; Jon Menges of Naperville, Illinois; Jim (Jennifer) Menges of Lake Barrington, IL; Kyle (finacee’ Nicole Bialeschki) Gutterridge and Clayton Gutterridge, all of Bismarck, Illinois. She was also the proud great grandmother of Caroline and Mason Kittell of Louisville, Kentucky; Alexander and Benjamin Menges of Lake Barrington, Illinois; Anna and Caleb LeMarbre of Brentwood, Tennessee.

She was preceded into Heaven by her husband, Paul (Toot) Gutterridge; her parents, Everett and Helen Gaumer; and her brother, Wilber Gaumer of Tucson Arizona.

After attending Danville Junior College and working at R&S Printing until her children were born, Marilyn became a homemaker. She took great pride in the clothing she made for her family. She also loved to cook for her family and friends. The home she and her husband made was always a warm and inviting place for family and friends to spend holidays, birthdays and anytime someone wanted to visit for good conversation, good food and a rousing game of cards. She also loved to garden and felt it a responsibility to save as much money as possible by raising and preserving all sorts of fruits and vegetables for the family to enjoy. Her husband often bragged that that “Marilyn provides as much monetary value to the family as I do with all that she does.”

Marilyn was an animal lover. Dogs and cats were always a part of the family. She nursed many sick or motherless farm babies to good health and loved watching and identifying birds.

Marilyn was a lifelong member of the Bismarck United Methodist church, which was always at the center of her life. She was a Christian role model to many. She worked diligently on several church committees during her lifetime and helped to produce the fund-raising projects the United Methodist Women’s group sponsored, one being the Golden Rule awards banquet for the Vermilion County Schools. She also was very active in 4-H while her children were involved in this project, the Bismarck Fair, Vermilion County Homemaker’s, Illiana Antique Auto Club, and the PTA of the Bismarck school district.

Marilyn was well loved and will be missed greatly by all who have known her for her sweet smile and loving ways.

A private family service will be held on Saturday, November 28,2020 at Sunset Funeral Home and Cremation Center in Danville, Illinois, 3940 N Vermilion St. Danville, Illinois 61834. Burial will be in Gundy Cemetery.
