Our angel on earth, Marilyn Jean Burney, 87, of Lubbock, was called home to be with her Lord and Savior Saturday, October 29, 2022.

Marilyn was born October 30, 1934, in Springfield, Illinois. She attended Eastern New Mexico University where she met the love of her life, Don Burney. They were married on February 17, 1955, in Portales, NM, and recently celebrated 66 years of marriage.

Marilyn was immersed in the body of Christ as a long-time attending member of Lakeridge United Methodist Church. She served as a member of Lakeridge United Methodist Women and several charitable committees. She possessed a servant’s heart and had a bold love for people. She was full of grace, compassion, and gentleness and was a true shepherd of good works. She left a resounding mark on all who knew her. We were all better because of her.

Marilyn was a wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who loved her family fiercely and spent every day of her life shepherding them to love each other and place God first. To know her was to love her. Her home was a place of refuge for many. Her doors were always open, and she made everyone feel so deeply known and valued.

Marilyn was preceded in death by her parents, Ted and Cecelia Ford; her husband, Don Burney; her son, Bruce Burney; and her sister, Carole Mellin.

She is survived by her daughter Brandi Doss; granddaughters, Brogan Hene and husband Russell, Blaze Shipley and husband Jaxon, Brooklyn Burney, and Brettley Burney; great-grandchildren Stone, Worth, Steiner, Haze, and Rove. There were also many nieces, nephews, and countless friends.

The family wishes to extend their sincere thanks to Peggy Spaugh, Sue Malaise, and Bridge Hospice. The love and support they have all shown us has been a true gift

Visitation will be held at Lakeridge Chapel and Memorial Designers from 5:00 -7:00 p.m. on Sunday, November 13th. Services will be held at Lakeridge Chapel and Memorial Designers on Monday, November 14th at 2:00 p.m.

It’s hard to say goodbye to my precious friend Marilyn. I have a warehouse full of sweet, funny great, and precious memories to smile about.. Like the times when we would have DQ on Mondays for half priced banana splits and had to drink the ice cream because they had melted by the time she would get them here. We had so many good laughs about the silliest things. She was my dear friend for 19 years. I will cherish our lunches that we had every two weeks and the laughs we shared. “Oh girl, let me tell you...” I will miss you my friend, and love you much!!!! - Grovonda

What a blessing it was to live next door to Marilyn and Don. Marilyn was the first and only neighbor to come over and welcome me and to bring me one of her homemade apple pies. So she had at me at hello and apple pie. I grew to love them both. Some of my greatest memories are sitting in their living room and having such good talks. She really did make you feel so special. I will miss our fun lunches with her dear friends Peggy and Sue. Whenever you left Marilyn, you left happy. That’s a gift she gave to all. I know that she is with her boys and her family and that makes me smile. Brandi, Blaze and Brogan will have her love in their hearts for eternity.

There are not enough words to express the special beautiful woman Marilyn was. She had a way of making you feel loved and special. She never complained even in her last days when she was struggling to breathe! Always the momma bear to her family that she would do anything for. We have all lost something but she is with Jesus now and pain free. I see her and Don dancing in the streets of gold around the throne!!! Brandi and her granddaughters have been left a great love and legacy to carry on. She will be watching and now your guardian angel from above. I personally have lost one of the best friends I will ever have. My heart is broken for there will never be another Marilyn!!! Love you guys!!! Her work on earth is done and now she rejoicing in HEAVEN!!!!❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

So many great memories. Will miss her so very much!

I will miss Marilyn so much. Our guys Don and Roy along with Bruce were standing at the gate of Heaven when she arrived. Her grief is over. Marilyn was a beautiful lady inside and out. She loved Brandi, and all those beautiful grands and greats and missed Bruce. She was a wonderful friend to many. Brandi we are here if you need us. 😍

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
