Marilyn Rish entered this world on Saturday, July 3, 1954, in Telfair County, Georgia. Marilyn Lourene Hulett Rish was a woman of family, faith, fire, and food. However you referred to her — “Granny, Ma, Mama, Matilou, or Marilyn” — you always knew you had a seat at her table. Her circle of love extended even further to her “kids and grandkids by choice”: son – Dickey Rish special friend, Amy Lott; daughter – Emma J. (Sissy) Moore, husband Drew, granchildren by choice – Sydnie Rish, Emma Rish, Matthew Rish, Marshall Harper, Mason Harper, wife Lilly, Allie Jane Pridgen, Kramer Day, and Reece Collins.
