Marilyn Joyce Culbreath

Marilyn Joyce Culbreath, 84, our angel, passed away peacefully on February 7, 2026, after a brief illness. Marilyn was born July 16, 1941, to Hillyer Bryan Scott and Oma Bee Allen in Oklahoma City and attended Capitol Hill High School.

She spent many years in the property management industry. Marilyn always had a passion for helping those in need and felt her calling as a nurse. She went on to get her nursing degree and worked at Children’s Hospital and spent many years with the State Health Department as a Long-Term Care Surveyor before retirement.

She was a devoted wife, mother, sister, grandmother, aunt and friend who was loved by many who knew her. She was full of life and had a ready smile for anyone she encountered. Family vacations were her passion, she was always thinking about the next trip.

The family would especially like to thank the Legacy Family Hospice Care Team for their support and care. We find comfort in knowing that mom’s legacy lives on through the lessons she taught us, the love she shares and the memories we will cherish forever.
