Marilea Alice Maas Barnett

Marilea Alice Maas Barnett went to be with our Lord and Savior on August 25, 2024, at the age of 76.

Marilea was born in Oregon, IL on March 4, 1948, to the late Orville and Harriett Bennett Maas.  She graduated from Oregon High School in 1966, then graduated from Sauk Valley College.

Marilea married the love of her life on June 23, 1968. Marilea was a Christian and attended Pleasant Hill Free Will Baptist Church in Thayer, MO.
