Marilyn O’Hern was the mother of six children, grandmother of eight, and great-grandmother of eight.

Her son Shawn O’Hern and wife, Kate; grandchildren Keenan and wife Stacy, Tessa, and Leah O’Hern have lived in Sisters since 2004. Her daughter Bonnie O’Hern lives in Sisters; and grandson Owen and wife Kimberly, and great-grandson live in Bend.

Marilyn’s other children: Don, Tamara and Jim, Erin and Doug, and Kerri and Thomas, live out of state.

Marilyn and her deceased husband, Donald, raised their six children in the Midwest; that is where their roots are.

She was a public health nurse for 18 years and loved her profession, along with being a mother, wife, sister, and daughter.

She was a chauffeur to all her family’s activities and the neighborhood go-to person for health concerns.

She is missed.
