Marilyn Adcox

Marilyn Kay Adcox of Murray passed away on December 4, 2014, following a brief illness. She was born in Scottsbluff, Nebraska on July 26, 1941. She and her brother Jerry Lee were adopted by their parents, Floyd and Esther Altig. They moved to Portland, Oregon and later to Quincy, Washington, where Marilyn met and married her companion of 53 years, Loyd Dennis Adcox. The couple moved to Salt Lake City where they raised their three children, Michael Cameron, Denise Kay and Jerry Lee.
Marilyn had a passion for travel. She and Dennis spent many happy hours on road trips all over the western United States and Canada, cruising the Caribbean, Panama Canal and Hawaii. Marilyn especially loved their trips to Europe and the British Isles. Vancouver Island was also one of her favorite spots.
Marilyn was a Laureate Nu Chapter member of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority. For several years she was also active with the Cottonwood Little League football program as a board member, but her favorite job was as a team mother for her son, Michael.
