Marilyn Burnham Welch Obituary

We are sad to announce that, on May 16, 2026 we had to say goodbye to Marilyn Burnham Welch of Valle Crucis, North Carolina. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Marilyn Burnham Welch to show support.

As Marilyn departs from our midst, her spirit ascends to join the cosmic dance of stars, a shimmering constellation of memories that will forever grace the night sky of the hearts of those who loved Marilyn. Though Marilyn may no longer walk beside us, her legacy lives on — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of time and space.

She was predeceased by: her parents, Bill Burnham and Helen Burnham; her former husband Bob Francey; the father of her children Bob Francey; and her grandson William Francey.

She is survived by: her children, Robert Francey (Sheri) and Rebecca Francey (Johnny); and her grandchildren, Zac Francey and Danielle Walker.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Valle Crucis Elementary School or Holy Cross Episcopal Church.
