Marilyn Kay 'Molly' Sherman, 67, passed away Thursday afternoon, April 18,  2019, at her home in Hutchinson, Kansas. She was born on March 16, 1952, in Great Bend, KS, to Milo Sherman and Sara Lee (Goodheart) Sherman. She grew up and graduated from high school in Great Bend. After a couple of years in college, she moved and settled down in Hutchinson, Kansas. She worked at Republic Paper Board for several years as an operator.

Marilyn's true passion in life was love for her family, friends, and especially her animals. She lived in the country so she could raise and ride her horses. She felt more comfortable in a saddle than a car seat. Marilyn enjoyed several years of riding horses with her friends and family. She rode in several parades throughout the surrounding counties, as well as with all her friends in the saddle club, and a ranch near Medicine Lodge.  Her favorite rides were the ones that would begin and end at her place, followed by a cookout and conversation with friends.  Later on in life, Marilyn switched from horses to raising and riding mules. The mules offered different challenges, but that did not stop her. She again rode with pride and joy with her many friends and family.

Survivors include: four brothers, Wayne (Sharon), Steve, Kevin (Mary Ann), and Don (Maxine); along with several nieces and nephews. A private burial will occur with her immediate family. A Celebration of Life with all her friends will occur in the near future. Notification of exact time and date will be posted at a later date through the newspaper and social media.   Elliott Mortuary, 1219 N. Main, Hutchinson, is in charge of arrangements.
