  • Marilyn “Micki” Ruth Madsen, loving Wife, Mother, Grandmother, peacefully passed from this life on January 8, 2021 at her home in Orem, Utah.
    Marilyn was born April 4, 1936 in Salt Lake City, Utah, the only child of Ralph Binnall and Dora Burningham Binnall.
    Salt Lake City was her home. She graduated as an honor student from West High School. She was in the A Cappella choir, a member of the Pep Club, and played Softball. She loved to “jitterbug”.
    Marilyn was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She was baptized under the Tabernacle on Temple Square in 1944. She loved Church dances and would attend several dances the same night. Marilyn enjoyed sports and served as the sports director for the Young Women in her ward. While living in California she served as Relief Society President. Along with her husband Donald, she was active in moving the missionary work forward in California. Many missionaries enjoyed meals in her home. Marilyn would like to be remembered as someone who helped others, brought joy, was kind, loved the Lord and worked hard in the Gospel.
    In her youth Marilyn worked at Lagoon and at a neighborhood drugstore. As an adult she was proud of her career as a telephone operator both in Utah and California. In order to be at home with her three sons she gave up her career with the telephone company and became a district manager for Tupperware Inc.
    Painting, and interior design were two of Marilyn’s interests. Her yard at her home in Orem was always the showcase of the neighborhood. She became a Master Doll Maker. She made the dolls from clay, fired them in her kiln, painted all the fine facial details and designed their clothes.
    Marilyn married Bob Pullam, they had one son, Kevin Robert. In 1961 she married Donald Madsen. Together they had two sons, Perry R. Madsen and Michael Kelly Madsen. They were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple, a “dream come true for Marilyn.”
    Marilyn was preceded in death by her parents, her spouse Donald Madsen, and Bob Pullam, and two sons, Kevin Robert Madsen and Michael Kelly Madsen.
    She is survived by her son Perry R. Madsen of Carson City Nevada.
