Marilyn A. Deland Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Marilyn A. Deland (Monticello, Illinois), born in Champaign, Illinois, who passed away on February 25, 2021, at the age of 93, leaving to mourn family and friends. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Marilyn A. Deland to pay them a last tribute.
She was loved and cherished by many people including: her parents, Mabel Swartswalter and Harry Swartswalter; her husband Lynn DeLand; her children, Dave DeLand (Dana Drazenovich) of St. Cloud, Minnesota, Rob DeLand (Sue Irion) of Chicago and Janet Ruckman (Mike Ruckman) of Monticello; and her brother Blaine Swartswalter. She was also cherished by seven grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers (which Marilyn would have considered a waste of money), her children would encourage everyone to make charitable donations in her memory to worthwhile causes – food shelves, women's shelters, or anything that would contribute to the general good.
