Marilynn Lue

Sylvest

Marilynn Lue Sylvest, age 73, entered her Heavenly home on May 12, 2026. She was born on April 1, 1953, in Brownwood, Texas,

Throughout her life, Marilynn lived in several places, but the Sweetwater area was always the place she considered home. She was a devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend whose kindness and caring spirit touched many lives.

Marilynn was preceded in death by her parents Homer Oscar Mayhugh ad Mary Edith Mayhugh Johnson (Henager), eight brothers, Homer Oscar Mayhugh Jr, Forest Nolan  Mayhugh, O D "Pete" Mayhugh, Vernon Alton Mayhugh, Eldridge Ben "T-Bone" Mayhugh, Eldridge Ben "Hot shot" Mayhugh, Ollie Foy "Butch" Mayhugh, Donald Wayne Mayhugh, Arbon Jerrel Mayhugh, and four sisters, Edna Ruth Mayhugh Schroedter, JoNell Mayhugh, Patsy Ann Mayhugh Keller, Phillis Kay Mayhugh Osteen,

She leaves behind her loving children, Anthony Keith, Kenneth Vaughn, and Meredith Paige Vaughn. She was the proud grandmother of Seth Keith, LaShae Coats, Whitney Keith, Brittany Emmert, Kylie Vaughn, Kalynn Vaughn, and Karlee Vaughn, along with 11 treasured great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her sister, Sandra Mayhugh Powell, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends.

Marilynn enjoyed the simple blessings of life — gardening, fishing, sitting outside with a big glass of tea, and spending time with those she loved most. Her greatest joy came from her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, whom she adored deeply.

Marilynn was also instrumental in organizing and planning annual family reunions for many years. Those gatherings became treasured occasions filled with laughter, stories, fellowship, and lasting memories. Her efforts brought generations of family together, and the reunions left a lasting and meaningful impression on all who attended.

She was also a devoted steward of the family genealogy and family history. Family members could always count on Marilynn to help keep the family tree together, preserving names, stories, relationships, and memories that connected one generation to the next. She valued family heritage deeply and took pride in helping future generations remember where they came from.

Although she earned an associate's degree in accounting, Marilynn spent much of her working years serving others through home health care, particularly caring for the elderly and mentally disabled. She had a compassionate heart and found fulfillment in helping those in need.

Above all, Marilynn loved her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Her faith carried her throughout her life, and her family finds peace knowing she is now reunited with Him in the perfect home He prepared for her.
