Marilyn C. Kingore died peacefully at rest during the early evening on May 6, 2017.

A longtime resident of Union Grove, Wisconsin, Marilyn was a proud graduate of Burlington St. Mary's High School, Class of 1944.

Marilyn is preceded by the death of her devoted husband, Charles, her cherished parents Frank and Elizabeth Rudolph of Kansasville, Wisconsin, her adoring older brothers Robert (Bernice) and William (Sarah), and her beloved younger sister and best friend, Joanne (Leon), She is also survived by her dear sister-in-law, Kay Zingale (Charles).

Marilyn was a great lover of wildflowers, birds and nature but her true love was for her family. Her greatest enjoyment came from her own children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, the Rudolph & Martin family nieces and nephews, and their children.

Later in her life, Marilyn spent winters in Katy, Texas. These trips were greatly anticipated as they enabled her to be with her two eldest children Katherine and Michael and their families. The thanksgiving dinners in Texas were also a great annual highlight for her youngest son William who regularly joined them.

Marilyn was a beauty to behold. She was a loving and dedicated mother to Katherine (Doug), Michael (Judith Nelson), Ellen (William Krach), William, and Elizabeth (Brad).

Marilyn was an enormously proud grandmother of six including Melinda, Emily, Megan, Andrew, Molly, and Anthony. She also delighted in each of her five great-grandchildren; Erin, Liam, Nolan, Quinn, and Abigail.

Private services were held at St. Mary's Catholic Church in the Town of Dover, Wisconsin.

The family would especially like to thank the kind and caring staff of Wheaton Franciscan Hospice and all the friends who visited Marilyn and provided such great love and support in her final months.

Memorial gifts may be made to The Evans Scholars Foundation, 1 Briar Road, Golf, IL, 60029.
