Marilyn Marie Stephens

Marilyn Marie Stephens was born July 12, 1950, in Turkey, Texas to Harold Turner and Ola Faye Randell Turner and passed from this life March 6, 2026, in Seminole, Oklahoma at the age of 75.

Marilyn lived in several communities across the country, traveling with her father who was a missionary. They finally settled in Amarillo, Texas. Her father later got a call to minister in New Mexico, but she remained in Amarillo, with her grandfather A.G. Turner, and finished high school. Another reason she stayed behind is because she had met a young man in school named Tommy Stephens, who she later married on Aug 17, 1968. They remained in Amarillo several years before relocating to Dallas in 1992. In 2006 they finally settled in Seminole.

While in Texas, Marilyn worked some 20 years for CUNA Mutual Insurance Company, and she became a Pharmacy Technician when she moved to Seminole.

Marilyn loved the outdoors and enjoyed taking walks around her property. She also liked to collect ceramic frogs and lighthouses.

Marilyn was preceded Stephens in death by her parents, her stepmother Coetta Turner, and son Brian Turner, and two grandchildren.

Survivors include her husband of 57 years, Tommy Joe Stephens of the home in Seminole; a daughter Ferrah Dawn McClammy of Seminole; her siblings, Dwain Turner and wife Sandra of Sunray, TX, Debbie Rando of Amarillo, TX, Raymond Hiser Turner of Bartlesville, and Todd Turner, and wife Marina, of McAlester; along with 2 grandchildren, 2 great grandchildren, several nieces, nephews, other relatives, and many friends.
