Marilyn Agnes (Ogilbee) Barker, age 90, passed away peacefully on July 25, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family and friends whose lives she touched. She lived a beautiful life of faith, love for family and friends, service to others, and an enduring spirit of kindness. Born on June 29, 1936, in Glencoe, Ohio, to Franklin and Mary Ogilbee, Marilyn graduated from Belmont High School in 1956. She started at The Ohio State University, and her life took a turn when "she answered a lonely soldier's letter" and that simple act became the beginning of a lifelong love story with Charles Barker, her devoted husband and partner. Marilyn was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Charles Barker; her parents, Franklin and Mary Ogilbee; and her niece-in-law, Donna Ogilbee. She is lovingly remembered by her brother, Richard (Susi) Ogilbee; her children, Lisa Barker, Brian (Pat) Barker, and Clint (Laura) Barker; her nephew, Tom Ogilbee; her cherished grandchildren, Cole, Lily, Grace, Mason, and Aras; along with many extended family members and dear friends whose lives were forever enriched by knowing her.
