Marilyn Mower

Froerer

Marilyn Mower Froerer passed away on November 4, 2026, at the age of 88. She lived a life filled with love, gratitude, faith, and devotion to her family. She had a special gift for recognizing the blessings in everyday moments and finding reasons to be thankful, even during life’s most difficult times.

Marilyn was a devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Her unwavering faith guided her throughout her life and shone through in the love, compassion, and kindness she shared with others.

Marilyn shared a beautiful life with her beloved husband, Gene. Together, they built a family filled with love, laughter, treasured memories, and lasting traditions.

As a mother to Pam, David, and Mindy, Marilyn found great joy in her children and, later, her grandchildren. Her family was at the center of her world, and she treasured every moment spent together, whether celebrating special occasions or simply enjoying one another’s company. She also had a special place in her heart for her two “sons,” Mike and Tony, who married her daughters and became beloved members of her family.

Marilyn’s love of family began with the deep love and admiration she had for her parents. She spoke of them with gratitude and treasured the values, traditions, and memories they passed down to her. She also shared a special bond with her siblings, maintaining close and loving relationships with them throughout her life. Those family connections brought her great happiness and comfort, and she cherished the many memories they made together.

Marilyn never seemed to meet a stranger. She could strike up a conversation with just about anyone, wherever she went, and had a wonderful way of making people feel welcome. Ironically, she always insisted she was shy — something those who knew her might have found hard to believe! Her warmth, kindness, and genuine interest in others made it easy for her to form lasting friendships.

Gene and Marilyn enjoyed wonderful relationships with their neighbors throughout the years, but the England family held an especially dear place in their hearts. The Englands were their neighbors on Evelyn Road for several years and later lived near them again in South Weber. Over time, their friendship grew into something much more like family, a bond Marilyn treasured deeply.

Marilyn loved reading and had a passion for genealogy. She delighted in discovering her family’s history, learning about those who came before her, and preserving their stories for future generations. She also worked for many years as a secretary for the Ogden Fire Department, a job she genuinely loved and took great pride in.

But perhaps what Marilyn loved most was something beautifully simple — hugs. She loved giving them just as much as receiving them. A hug from Marilyn was her way of sharing love, offering comfort, celebrating happiness, or simply letting someone know they mattered. Her hugs were warm, genuine, and given freely to the people she loved.

Marilyn was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Gene; her daughter, Pam; her brother, Bruce; and her grandson, Jake.

Although she will be deeply missed, Marilyn’s legacy lives on in the family she loved, the friendships she made, and the countless reasons she gave others to be thankful.

And while her family will miss so many things about her, perhaps they will miss her hugs most of all.

Her life was truly a life of gratitude, and her love will always be felt.
