John D., Gary R., and Kenneth G. Cheshire announce the passing of their mother, Marilyn Joye Smith Cheshire, at Pine Creek Rehabilitation and Nursing in Salt Lake City, Utah, on August 8, 2021.
Marilyn was born the youngest child of four in Ogden, Utah on September 27, 1942 to William Stanley Smith and Laura Cecelia Peterson Smith.

She held many callings in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints including working in the Scouting program and being a merit badge counselor while she worked with her sons in Scouting.
