Please Feel Free To Leave A Comment Or A Memory You Had With Marilee~
.Marilee attended Crown Hill as a freshman and then AGHS as a Sophomore. She moved to Atascadero and continued her schooling there. She was born March 7, 1953 in Modesto, CA and died on December 15, 2010. She was married to Ed Etheridge and was living in Coarsegold, California at the time of her death.
Marilee Etheridge, born March 7, 1953, passed from this world on Wednesday, December 15, 2010. After many years as a resident of Coarsegold, she and her husband Ed Etheridge, had relocated to Chowchilla in recent years.
Marilee's early life was spent on California's central coast, although most of her life was spent in the central valley. She attended California State University Fresno, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Communicative Disorders, graduating Magna Cum Laude in 1990. A year later she graduated with distinction with a Master of Arts in Communicative Disorders with an emphasis in Speech Language Pathology. Most of Marilee's early career was spent working in skilled nursing facilities, helping the elderly regain swallowing, and speech abilities. Her true love, however, was helping the valley's youth. She worked most of her career with preschool age and younger, in Madera, Merced, and Fresno County. She truly loved helping children and their families, she dedicated her life to this work.
Besides her work, her other love was always family. While her husband Ed, her son Scott and his wife Tara, her daughter Heather and her husband Kris, and their children Elijah and Aeva made up Marilee's immediate family, she always included her friends in this list: Sheryl Pelton, and Wayne and Michelle McGhee, among many others. Marilee enjoyed spending time outside and going on vacations with her family, she was an avid reader, and loved to bake cookies with her grandchildren.
Marilee will be missed immensely. She was such an amazing person, full of love and laughter. The world has truly lost a great soul, but we take comfort in knowing that her struggle is over and she is looking down on us from heaven.
She leaves behind her husband; her son, Scott and Tara Raymond; her daughter, Heather and Kristopher Paul; and her beloved grandchildren, Elijah and Aeva Paul. Additionally, she is survived by her sisters, Leota Silva, Jodi Johnson, and Karen Lane, as well as two brothers.
There will be a private ceremony held in Marilee's honor, with family only.
