MARILYN EHLERT GURNEY, age 66 years, of Magrath AB, passed away peacefully surrounded by her children, on Thursday, February 20, 2020.

She was predeceased by her husband Wayne, daughter Loren Brianne Harper, sister Kathryn Wilson, brother Robert “Buster” Ehlert, and both of her parents. Marilyn will be remembered for her compassion, generosity, vibrance, always putting others before herself, and always with a smile. Her tender spirit, loving heart, intelligence and wit will leave a lasting impact on so many. Marilyn’s world famous home cooking, including “mom’s buns” and her talent for crafting were just some of the many ways she was always caring for others.
