Marilyn Huffman Stoss, 88, died peacefully in Chesapeake, VA on January 26, 2019 with her daughters by her side. Formerly of Palm Coast, FL and Prince George, VA, she was born in Louisville, KY and grew up in Memphis, TN. She was preceded in death by the love of her life, John F. Stoss and their infant son, Kenneth Wade Stoss. Also, by her parents, Mary Burns Huffman and William Huffman of Memphis, TN as well as her brothers – William, Clifford and Robert, and sisters Margaret Lee (Irvine) and her twin Carolyn (Graham).
She is survived by her daughters Margaret (Ron) Webster of Chesapeake and Norma Clarke of Palm Springs, CA. Three grandchildren, Mark Collier (Mary), Jonesborough, TN; Eric Clarke, Eugene, OR and Kate (Kellen) Flynn, Dallas, TX and also two great grandchildren, Noah and Ava Joy Collier, and several nieces and nephews.
Marilyn retired from The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company in 1991 after many years of employment. An avid bingo player, we’re hoping she’s yelling bingo in heaven now.

Marilyn was a supporter of St. Jude Children’s Hospital and would be pleased with donations to that facility in lieu of flowers. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, P.O. Box 1000 Dept. 142, Memphis, TN 38148-0142 or
