Marilyn Jean Relue, 83, passed away Saturday, November 28, 2020.  Born in Fort Wayne, IN, she was the daughter of the late Martin W. and Amanda Julia (Saalfrank) Griebel.  She married Ralph W. Relue on November 21, 1959.  Marilyn was employed at Magnavox from 1955 to 1960, and again from 1980 to 1993.  In between those paid jobs, she did the work she most enjoyed and for which she will be best remembered, as a loving and supportive wife and stay-at-home mom for her four children.  She lived the truth that "your job is what you leave at the end of the day, but your work is what you leave at the end of a lifetime."  Marilyn was also known for her love of sending and receiving "good mail" (greeting cards of all kinds), for her "lists of lists" and for keeping family keepsakes and traditions.

Marilyn is survived by her three daughters:  Julie (Brad) Borum, Josie (Jim) O'Donnell, Becki (Steve) Lentz; one son, David (Rebecca) Relue and nine grandchildren; Jessica, Eric, Mary, Katie, Tatom, Jenna, Caleb, Jack and Phoebe.  She was preceded in death by her husband, Ralph; by her three sisters, Mildred, Helen and Dorothy; and by her four brothers, Albert, Harold, Alvin, and Erwin.

Her funeral service will be at St. Paul's Lutheran Church (1126 S. Barr Street) on Friday, December 4 at 1pm with visitation two hours prior.  A committal service will immediately follow at Covington Memorial Gardens.  Memorials can be made to Worship Anew – 5 Martin Luther Dr. Fort Wayne, IN 46825
