Marlys Metlyng passed away unexpectedly on December 23, 2022. She was born in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota in September 1953 to parents Alice and Flavian Steffl. In 1985 Phoenix, Arizona became her home for over 37 years where she lived life to it’s fullest.
Marlys shone as brightly as the Arizona sun as an exceptional mother, an amazing friend, and as a true free-spirited independent woman. She was a master of hard work, quick wits, kitchen magic and holiday décor! Marlys was full of love and happiness and brought a smile and a laugh to any room. She is dearly missed by all who knew her.
Marlys is survived by her daughter-Jessi, her sons- Josh and Joe, and her grandchildren-Cy and Iggy.
A memorial service will be held Monday, January 2nd, 2023 at 2pm at Whitney & Murphy Funeral Home located at 4800 E. Indian School Road in Phoenix, Arizona 85018. An additional celebration of life will be celebrated in Minnesota in Spring 2023.
