Marylin Ann Holman, 87, of La Porte, Indiana, passed away Sunday, December 21, 2025.

Marylin was born on January 7, 1938, in South Bend, Indiana, to the late Peyton and Ruth (Bennitt) Goad.

Marylin was an accountant with the former Associates Corporation for over 30 years, from which she retired. 

Marylin loved to sing, whether it was in the Associates Corporation choir, church choirs, or around the house; however, she was always so honored when she was asked to sing at her nieces’ and nephews’ weddings.

She truly loved hosting family get-togethers at the holidays because she was a great host! Everyone seemed to have a favorite pie they requested her to make for them, which she loved doing and always made them from scratch.

Marylin is survived by her children, Sheryl Kingery of Irving, Texas, Virginia Kirkland of Centennial, Colorado, Andrew Holman of South Bend, Indiana; granddaughters, Jessica (Paul) Scheffler and Shelby Holman and Morgan Kirkland; great granddaughters, Alison and Alivia Harper; a brother Dwight (Bea) Goad of Union Mills, Indiana; and several nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her parents and siblings, Ruth Stolte, Delores Zeisig, Eugene, James, and Frankie Goad; and her lifelong dear friend, June Barker Petrie.

Cremation has taken place with Frank L. Keszei Funeral Home, Essling Chapel in La Porte.

The family is planning a buffet-style memorial/celebration of life for Marylin this spring.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the charity of the donor's choice.
