Marilyn Lou (Diel) Schurter
January 14, 1940 ~ April 20, 2023 (83 Years Old)
On January 14, 1940, God brought to Marcine and Helen Diel a baby girl who brightened their lives and the life of everyone who knew her. Her light continued to shine until God said it's time for you to come back to me, so on April 20, 2023, God took her home. Marilyn Lou Diel let her light shine from the town of Burlington, Oklahoma where she grew up, to Enid for Cosmetology School, to marrying her high school sweetheart, Roy Samuel Schurter "Sam" on December 27, 1959.
Together Sam and Marilyn Schurter's lights shined in Okmulgee, Oklahoma and then they returned to Burlington where they started farming and started a family. Together they had Warren Russell, Robin Lu, and Staci Su. Marilyn kept very busy helping Sam farm and raising kids. Through the years she was involved in Country Girls, bridge playing, birthday breakfasts, many church activities, countless meal preparations, card sender, and all around "Let's do something fun" or as she would say "funzy". Marilyn loved to laugh and sing, and the speed limit sign was simply a suggestion while driving.
We are so grateful to everyone who made her life joyful the last few weeks while she was hospitalized.
Marilyn is survived by Rusty and Terza Schurter, Robi Morris, five grandkids, four great grandkids, and numerous nieces, nephews, and lifelong friends.
