Marilyn Moore Price, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, teacher, and friend, passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by the love of her family. She was born May 15, 1948, in Shreveport, Louisiana. Marilyn devoted her life to education and spent many years serving as a dedicated teacher before her retirement. She earned her Master’s plus 30 years in education and had a lifelong passion for learning and helping others grow. She was a faithful member of Istrouma Baptist Church. Marilyn will be remembered for her warm heart, gentle spirit, and deep love for her family and friends, as well as her unwavering faith and commitment to God. She found joy in painting, photography, traveling, and exercising. Above all, she cherished spending time with the people she loved.
