Marylooe Matheson, a.k.a. Marylooe Brown Ortiz Matheson, passed from this earth to a better place on Saturday, April 6, 2019. She was 82 years young.
She is survived by her husband of 31 years, Thomas L. (Lou) Matheson, her 4 children, Frank, Margret, Patricia, and Ronnie, 6 grandchildren, and 10 great grandchildren, all of whom live in Alaska.
Marylooe was one of 10 children (5 boys and 5 girls) born to Pete and Luz Brown. She is survived by 3 of her siblings, Eva, Hope, and David, all of whom live in Arizona, and many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and friends too numerous to name and count.
Marylooe will be sorely missed by those that were close to her and loved her so dearly.
A celebration of Marylooe’s life will held at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 14, 2019 at Whitney & Murphy Funeral Home, 4800 E. Indian School Road, Phoenix. In lieu of flowers the family suggest donations be made to Multiple Sclerosis at secure.mymsaa.org

Please accept my condolence in the passing of Marylooe. Eva, Hope and David many years have passed since we were all children growing up in Stevenson School. I have talked to you over the years during the reunions and I have thought about you many times and hope you are all well. I did not know Marylooe’s husband nor her children and grandchildren but I know her loss is great for all of you. God’s love and caring will surely sustain you during this very difficult time.

Sincerest condolences to my Alaskan Primos as well as their Spouse and children. I have very fond memories of your Mom at our Family gatherings when we were quite young. Nice Holiday happy memories.
