LIL MARX

A private memorial was held in Monroe, LA, for Lillian Lockhart Marx on 
Tuesday, December 30, 2014, with Rev. Keith Garvin officiating. Mrs. Marx was 
born on May 6, 1920, in New Orleans, LA, and passed away on Monday, December 
29, 2014. She was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph and Mary Lockhart 
and her husband, Dr. Fred Marx.

Lil is survived by her four children, Dr. Don Marx and wife Judy, Peggy 
Lockhart and her husband Bill, Dr. Robert Marx and his wife Carolyn, all of 
Monroe, LA, and Meryl Marx of New Orleans, LA; grandchildren, Dr. Daryl Marx 
and wife Faith, Brian Marx and his wife Victoria, Bonnie Brister and husband 
Bubby, Tricia Upton and her husband Tim, Stephen Creaghan, Dr. Billy Lockhart, 
Carolanne Marx, Christopher Marx, and Lauren Beth Slowik; and great 
grandchildren, Matthew Marx, Nicholas Marx, Madeline Brister, Andrew Brister, 
Lilly Upton, Kate Upton, Madison Creaghan, Alivia Marx, and Bailey Marx.

She was a member of Jesus the Good Shepherd Catholic Church. She enjoyed 
playing bridge with her friends and played golf with Fred and their many 
friends. She will be remembered by her children as the best cook of northeast 
Louisiana.

She grew up in Metairie, LA, the second of fourteen children. She graduated 
from Eleanor McMain High School in Metairie, LA, and received her RN degree 
from Charity Hospital in New Orleans. She met her husband, Fred there and they 
were married October, 1943, soon after he returned from WWII. Lil and Fred 
settled in Monroe where Lil became a homemaker and often right hand nurse to 
Dr. Fred. Many patients wondered why Dr. Fred was flirting with his nurse. They 
were married 70 years. She was his silent partner throughout their life, happy 
to let him be the center of attention while she managed the home. She and Fred 
established the Lillian L. and Fred A. Marx Endowment Professorship in Biology 
at ULM. She was most proud of her children and grandchildren and she felt they 
were her greatest achievement.

The family would like to thank the sitters from Senior Care who took wonderful 
care of Mom and Dr. Fred. They are Ilene Baker, Deborah Singletary, JoAnn 
Jones, Shannon Slack, Emmanuel Meredith, Don Smith with special gratitude to 
Karen Adams for her steadfast dedication and devotion. The family would also 
like to thank James Simmons for 30 years of loyal and loving care.

Memorials may be made to Jesus the Good Shepherd Catholic Church.
