The free-spirited and fabulous Marilyn Sanchez Lopez left this earth September 21, 2025. Marilyn brought passion and laughter to both sides of the United States. She grew up and raised her children in Yuma, Arizona—the town in which she and many of her elders were born and raised. She later moved to Tennessee with her loving husband, A.C., and was soon followed there by two of her children and several grandchildren.

Because of her strong ties to her hometown, the family would like to hold Marilyn's funeral mass and interment in Yuma. We are asking for your help in making that final wish a reality. Contributions to this gofundme will assist in costs related to the funeral, which is tentatively scheduled for November 2. Please consider helping to bring Marilyn home.
