Marilyn L. Reusser, went home to be with the Lord on December 21, 2025.  She was born on September 3, 1934, in West Virginia and was a resident of Canton for over 70 years. She moved to Canton when she married Clinton Reusser.  They had three sons, David (Roxann), Daniel (Karen) and Mark (Joan).  Her sons were her pride and joy as were her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Marilyn was the best "Gram". She spoiled David, Elliott (Macy), Kori (Jesse Hostetler), Sara (Kyle Pritchard), Jackson, Evan and Ellissa as often as she could, and they will miss her dearly as will her two great grandchildren, Brooklyn and Carly.  She also had two "adopted" grandsons, Rob and Max McQueen, sons of dear friends Karen and Rick McQueen whom she adored.  Marilyn is also survived by a cousin, Marilyn Wetton, nephew Frank Ellis (Tammy), their daughter Chelsea Bone and son Kyle Ellis, and nieces Lou Ellis, Elizabeth Durant and Tammy Amos.

Friends were dear to Marilyn. Dana Campbell, Mary Ann Gallucci and Barbara Taylor to name a few. She had too many to mention. She treasured all friendships.  Cooking, singing in the church choir, babysitting and vacationing were things Marilyn enjoyed. She couldn't get enough sunshine!  Marilyn will be reunited with her son David Reusser, parents Willa Sams and Franklin Ellis, sister Regina Ellis and brother William Ellis in heaven.
