Marilee K. Douglass

 Marilee K. Douglass, 81, passed away on Friday, May 23, 2025, at Ascension St. Vincent Heart Center Hospital, Carmel.

She was born on February 17, 1944, in Plymouth, Indiana. Marilee was the daughter of Alvin and Wilma (Young) Zechiel

Marilee graduated from Culver High School with the class of 1962. Her cousin Joyce took her on a blind date to meet Thomas, and they were the perfect match. They exchanged their vows on September 4, 1966, at the E.U.B. church in Culver.

She worked for the Plymouth library for 29 years before retiring. Giving was her love language, as her husband, children, and grandchildren would attest to the love they received from her throughout her life. Countless people would have their hands out for her delightful baked goods. From Carmelita’s, brownies, strawberry pretzel salad and almond bars.

Marilee was a member of First United Methodist Church in Plymouth where she taught Sunday School for 20 years.

She is survived by her husband Thomas of Plymouth; children Melea (David) Broekers of Albuquerque, NM; Brad (Wendy) Douglass of Bremen; grandchildren: Talia (Jesse Bohlin) Broekers of Tacoma, WA; Aaron Douglass of Bremen; Jacob Douglass of Bremen; brother Alvin (Nina) Zechiel of St. Roberts, MO.

Marilee is preceded in death by her parents and her sister and brother-in-law Janet (Jack) Loser.
