Marilyn Marie (McWhorter) Hulsey, age 84, of Kingston, Georgia, passed away peacefully at her home, surrounded by her loving family, on Friday October 30, 2026.

Marilyn was born on August 3, 1942, to the late Lessie Bell McWhorter and George Curtis McWhorter.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 54 years, James Edward Hulsey; her parents; her sister, Claudine Davis; and her brother, A.V. McWhorter.

Mrs. Hulsey is survived by her loving family, including her daughters, Cynthia Womack and her husband, Kelly Mills, of Rome, Georgia; Donna Womack and Lisa Weiner, of Tampa, Florida; and Cathy Kerce, of Kingston, Georgia; and her son, Steve Hulsey and his wife, Melissa, of Rome, Georgia.

She is also survived by her grandchildren: Leslie (Berry) Sellers, Josh (Kristy) Kerce, Curtis Womack, Ryan Hulsey, Lt. Will Hulsey and his wife, Halle; her great-grandchildren: Austin Kerce, Langley Ann Kerce, Lexi Hulsey, Kaleb Schmidlkofer, Gage Schmidlkofer, Carter Sellers, and Kimberlee Sellers, and several great-great-grandchildren.

After careers in the local textile industry and office management, Marilyn dedicated more than 30 years of her life to Harbin Clinic, where she worked as a switchboard operator. To many, she was affectionately known as the “Voice of Harbin Clinic.” Her familiar voice and years of service made her a memorable part of the clinic and the lives of those she encountered.

Marilyn was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend who will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.

She was a faithful member of North Rome Church of God. In her free time, Marilyn enjoyed traveling, dancing, and watching the Atlanta Braves. She also cherished her beloved dog, Boo-Boo, who brought her much joy and companionship.

The family will receive friends at Salmon Funeral Home on Monday November 2, 2026 from 12 PM until 2 PM. Graveside services will be held at 2:30 PM at Oaknoll Memorial Gardens, with Mr. Joe Robinson officiating.

Serving as pallbearers will be Steve Hulsey, Kelly Mills, Josh Kerce, Curtis Womack, Ryan Hulsey, Austin Kerce and Carter Sellers.
