There is no greater love than the gift of life. I would live this life all the same if I could do it over so I wouldn't miss a thing
There is a stop in time as God holds you close until again we meet.
Memorial Services will be held Saturday, April 2, 2016 at 12 Noon in the Grace Christian Church, 66 W. Main Street, Torrey, Utah.
Memoriam
Marilyn E. Tulin, age 80, of Torrey, passed away March 21, 2016 quietly at her home in Torrey, Utah.
She was the loving Mother of 12 children from her first marriage with Melvin C. McCubbin. In 1980 she married the later love of her life, Wilton “Bill” E. Tulin. They enjoyed many adventurous happy years together, sharing their skills, talents, fishing and the outdoors while building their home in Torrey.
Along with the incredible Mother of her own children, Marilyn embraced and cared for all she knew. In her spare time she was able to share her very special artistic gifts and talents with our community for 10 years of her more than 30 years in Torrey, as the owner of Rumma'ge Creations Craft Store in Bicknell.
Marilyn’s greatest legacy truly was her family, enduring without complaint or tiring with a servant heart of gold. She taught us unselfish unconditional love for one another and what the true meaning of family is all about. Her example will be treasured always by her family and practiced in their families. Her handmade crochet and ceramic gifts will be treasured by her children, grandchildren and their children for years to come.
Mom was so very proud of each of her 12 children, their strengths, self-sufficiency and their accomplishments in life. Each one of them her favorite.
They are: Margaret and husband Terry, Monica and husband Don, Michael and wife Kris, Mark and wife Sue, Mitchel, Michelle and husband Joe, Malan and wife Trish, Monte and wife Terri, Melonie and husband Dennis, Matthew, Mignon and Merrill.
She was also proud of and is survived by 40 grandchildren; 70 great-grandchildren; 8 great-great-grandchildren; and a brother, Brent Sovereen of Las Vegas, Nevada.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Bill Tulin; her son, Mitchell McCubbin; her parents Buss and Donna Sovereen; brother, Kent Sovereen; and grandchildren Anthony and Rebecca.
Mom will always be our inspiration and we will forever love you with all our hearts. Thanks for all of your sacrifices, a loving home where everyone felt welcomed and for the life lessons you taught us all.
Above all, thanks for teaching us about God and Jesus' love for each of us. How to love one another and other's that come into our lives.
Her favorite song I Believe in Angels reminds us always that today she is truly singing with the Angels…
You are missed!
Michael McCubbin: Today the most Beautiful Woman in the world went to meet Jesus. Beyond the shock of knowing that my mom, my friend, my strength in life, my hope through troubles, my mentor in character, my model of a gentle Spirit, my look into God’s heart is no longer at the end of a phone call or a short drive away. I am broken beyond any expectation. How to go forward is a mystery except that she taught me that too. Get up every day and thank God for the new adventure. Well for now I will stand on knowing that I will get to hug you once again and for always someday. Until then I will miss you each and every moment of every day with a little less hurt and a lot more joy of knowing you in all of your ways…

Mignon Gudmundson: Today this world lost the most wonderful person ever to be born. She was amazing. No one person has given so much to me. I am honored to have had her as my mother, mentor, teacher and most of all... my best friend! My whole life she has been my rock, and now I know that she will be forever. I feel so empty, yet I am also filled with the love that she gave to me. Forever will this awesome lady be in my heart. I LOVE YOU MOM

Daniel Michael Thompson: Losing people is sad but the way I see it is our family is huge and is growing bigger and bigger. So our family needs more angels in heaven to watch over us so that is why I belive we have lost the amazing people that are gone. But we all know they will never be forgotten.

Jennifer Hutchinson: I have read so many kind words of love in the past few days and I am too with a heavy heart. I could easily write for hours, possibly days about what Grandma means to me. I am lucky to have had her in my life at such a young age when she helped watch Dave and I, through my trying teenage years and into young adulthood, through my difficult years as a young mom, on into my children’s lives and grandchildren's lives, two generations of my own. What a blessing to be able to say, “I am part of a 5th generation lineage!” Not many can say that. There are no words to describe what I have learned from such a majestic, loving, kind and resilient lady, who I think is one of the most beautiful people I have ever known. She taught me love, the meaning of integrity, perseverance, dignity, and how to stare adversity in the face, to have faith, believe in my own strength and push through it. Her advice has been priceless, though not always what I wanted to hear nonetheless, always right. Thank you Grandma for helping to mold me into the person I am today. I will miss our deep talks, your beautiful blue eyes and gentle smile. I hope and pray that I can be as great as you some day! I love you and until we meet again, “I Have a Dream.” I too believe in angels and you have always been one to me. Fly free!

David Pangan: How do you write a tribute for someone who has meant so much in your life? She was so many things to me and I can honestly say I don't have a single bad memory. My thoughts of Grandma are a series of wonderful detailed stories. From visiting her fifth wheel and that small outhouse. To having her hold me while I'm crying and bleeding as a little boy. To cooking my first trophy rabbit. Chasing snakes out of sheds. Painting ceramics. Sleeping in her window seal. Visiting a house, that never once didn't have treats. To telling her how now that I have kids how much she impressed me raising 12.All the Thanksgivings. The burned bacon and toast, just like grandpa loved it. To the sound of her sweet voice on a hard day in Afghanistan when she reminded me the world is still a wonderful place (she didn't know she did that) I miss her and love her dearly.

Amanda Iom Woodstock Billings: Yesterday, the world lost one of the most amazing women I will ever know. Marilyn Eccles McCubbin Tulin, my Grandma, was not just my grandma, she was The Grandma. The kind of amazing woman that would welcome you in, get you cookies and milk, and make you feel more at home than you do in your own house. Whether you were blood or not, everyone was treated like family. I learned so much from her, and I will forever be thankful for the time that I got to spend with her.
