Marilyn Esther (Marcotte) Rassette went to the heavens August 12th, 2022. Marilyn was born in Oakley, Kansas, on December 13th, 1937. In her youth, she lived in Ellsworth, Wilson and Salina where she graduated from Sacred Heart High School.
Marilyn married Ronald Rassette on May 18, 1957. Together, they had three children: Angela Rassette (Jennifer) of Wichita. Michael (Terri) and their children, Alison, Lance & Lawson of Salina. Ronald Jr (Randa) and their children, Trey & Tory of Overland Park, Ks.
Marilyn is preceded in death by her husband Ronald Rassette. Her parents Archie and Aermine Marcotte. Siblings: Francis Marcotte, Wilma Jean Marcotte, Dorothy Dozier, Donna Miller, and Vernon Marcotte.
Marilyn’s surviving siblings are Pauline Zvolanek, Mary Harris, Kathy Tidwell, William (Bill) Marcotte, Robert (Bob) Marcotte, Virginia Wakulich, JoAnn Phanenstiel and Kenny Marcotte.
Marilyn was a home-maker for most of her life until she went to work for USD 305 food service. She completed 24 years of service in 2006 where she retired from USD 305 ending her career at Lakewood Middle School.
Marilyn is best known for her sweet, loving heart…especially for her grandchildren. To many, she was only known as “Grandma.” Together, with Ronald (a.k.a. Grandpa), they loved to attend any activity Alison, Lance, Lawson, Trey or Tory were involved in… whether it was soccer, basketball, football, baseball and pretty much every school event. She loved watching all of her grandchildren participate and show off their talents. If someone needed to contact “Grandma”, she probably could be found next to a court, or by a ball field watching with a big smile on her face.
