Mrs. Marilyn S. Buffington, 82 of Senecaville

Marilyn S. (Guiler) Buffington, 82, of Senecaville, passed away Wednesday (October 28, 2026) at her home under the care of Interim Hospice.

She was born April 10, 1944 in Cambridge, daughter of the late James Lester Guiler and Geneva Mae (Triplett) Guiler.

A graduate of Byesville High School, Marilyn retired from LDM after more than 20 years of service.

Marilyn was an active and hardworking woman who enjoyed completing puzzles and using her sewing talents whenever she had the opportunity. She loved her flowers. Never one to shy away from a challenge, she drove her father’s dump truck and even raced her own stock car in the Powder Puff division!

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, George Jay Buffington, who passed away November 15, 2020. They were married July 2, 1979. Also deceased are three brothers: James Brent Guiler, David Guiler, and Dwain Guiler; and a sister-in-law, Tammy Guiler.

Marilyn is survived by two sons: James (Diana) McManaway of Salesville and Kevin McManaway of Senecaville; a daughter, Shonna (Bill) Lowery of Senecaville; a brother, Jeff (Polly) Guiler of Senecaville; three sisters: Louella (Chuck) Kastelic of Cumberland, Marsha (Jeff) Moore of Kennonsburg, and Theda (Tony) Warden of Cambridge; six grandchildren: Katie, Dominick, Ann Marie, Allison, Shawn, and Megan; and four great-grandchildren: Emma, Alyssa, Salem, and Grayson.
