Marilyn Nebeker Anderson, passed away from a short, but hard battle with cancer on May 19th, 2024 at the age of 56 surrounded by her family.
She was born February 25th, 1968 in Twin Falls, Idaho to Gary and Linda Nebeker. She was the third of six  children. She attended Murtaugh schools and graduated in 1986. Marilyn loved growing up on the farm in Murtaugh and going to the "Bit of Heaven" family cabin in the South Hills. She continued her education at Ricks College and Boise State University. While at Boise State she started dating Leon Anderson. It didn't take long for these two to fall in love. She married Leon Anderson in the Logan Utah temple on February 15th 1991. Their marriage and love for each other has been highly admirable.

A couple of weeks before their first anniversary they welcomed their first boy Parker into their family. Three years later they had twin boys, Logan and Alan, and three years later they had Zachary.  Marilyn was the best boy mom. Together they taught their boys to be tough guys with the biggest hearts. She was her boys biggest fan at their football, basketball and baseball games.

Marilyn loved her daughter in laws Katie, Abby, Jodi and Kiernan. Marilyn was a fun and engaged grandma and cherished her six grandchildren Taitum, Diesel, Scottie, Cosette, Trey and Skye. Leon and Marilyn also enjoyed their time as empty nesters and going on adventurous rides together in their Honda Talon UTV.  She was a daredevil while driving it and handled it like a pro.

Later in life while raising her family, she finished her Bachelors degree and Medical Assistant certificate at BYU-Idaho. She loved her job working at the Madisonhealth Surgery Center and  Rexburg Surgery with Doctors Dwayne Hansen and Max Hansen's office. She is known as the good IV lady with the cool hair.

Marilyn had an unwavering testimony of her Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ. She was a spiritual giant with a wild side. You could ask Marilyn for advice and know she would be honest with you. Marilyn served as the President of the Madison Athletic Club while her boys participated in high school sports. To honor her, the MAC has recently changed the name of their scholarships awarded to students to the "Madison Athletic Club Marilyn Anderson Memorial Scholarship".

Marilyn will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her on this earth but we know was welcomed by loving family on the other side upon her passing.

A special thanks to those healthcare professionals at Rexburg Surgery, Madisonhealth, Madisonhealth Cancer Center, EIRMC, Idaho Cancer Center at EIRMC, Intermountain Anesthesia at EIRMC and Aspen Home Health and Hospice who provided Marilyn with loving, compassionate and expert treatment.
