Marilyn Jean Cone

Marilyn Jean Cone, 68, of Searcy, Arkansas, departed this life on December 18, 2022, surrounded by her daughters. She was born on December 22, 1953, in Naples, Texas, to the late Bobby Connor and Barbara Wammock.

Marilyn spent her life as a devoted Christian, daughter, sister, mother, Nana, and friend. She was a member of Valley Baptist Church in Searcy, Arkansas. She was a dedicated and compassionate nurse for 37 years. She spent her time sewing, cooking, traveling, and planning family gatherings. Her family was paramount to her as she was the Matriarch, who listened patiently, reacted slowly, and enlightened others with her wisdom. She was a woman who always put God first in her life. To know Marilyn was to love her.
