Marilyn Disbrow

September 23, 2025 by Editor

Marilyn Disbrow (nee Weyland) passed away peacefully on September 14, 2025 as a result of natural causes at the age of 96. Born May 1, 1929, she resided in Wisconsin until moving to Stevensville, MT in 1991 where she remained until moving to Idaho in 2022.

She was known for her generosity, kindness, mischievous nature, and sense of humor in addition to her stubbornness. She was a loving and often entertaining mother and grandmother and a loyal friend. We will miss her but are happy her spirit is free and she is no longer encumbered by earthly pain and sorrow.

She was preceded in death by her two husbands, Howard Kirnberger and Dean Disbrow; her oldest son Howard F. Kirnberger; a grandson John Howard  Daneker; her siblings and many friends. She is survived by her children Karrie (Denny) Wildeson, Wendy (Keith) Jones, Jack (Jill) Kirnberger; a step-daughter Cynthia (George) Engelke; six grandchildren, three great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.
