Marilyn Antoinette Mixon was born in Gary Indiana on October 12,1953. She exchanged time for eternity on February 12, 2025.
Marilyn accepted Christ at an early age and remained a faithful servant until God called her home. She attended Marquette United Methodist Church where she was an active and cherished member of the congregation. She believed her faith in God kept her motivated. Marilyn was a lifelong resident of Gary and graduated from Roosevelt High School Class of 1971 where she met the love of her life Eugene Mixon. The two married in 1971 and to this union 3 children were born.
Marilyn dedicated her life to being an educator where she taught in the Gary Community School Corporation for over 30 years. She believed the bond and joy she received from her students was priceless. She was quoted as saying “Even if I don’t reach every child, I will never give up.”
Preceded in death by her parents Mason Campbell Jr and Minnie Sue Jenkins. She is also preceded in death by siblings: Michael Campbell and Janice Stone; grandson Brayden Mixon; Maternal grandparents, John Ellis Jenkins, Claude B. Douglas and Judy Bell Douglas; paternal grandparents, Mason Campbell Sr and Maggie L. Jones.
She leaves to cherish her memory loving and devoted husband, Eugene; loving children: Crystal (Ronald) Ballard, Eugene (La Keysha) Mixon, and Evan Mixon; brothers: Dwayne (Valerie) Campbell, Bernard (Angela) Bufford; sister, Sharon Dickerson; 7 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren; special aunt, Evelyn Peterson; best friend, Debby Cuttino and a host of relatives and friends.
Marilyn will be remembered for how loving and caring she was. She generously gave to all those she loved and those who were in need. There was not a soul who she did not positively impact in one way or another. She will be dearly missed by those who knew and loved her.

Ms. Mixon was one of my favorite teachers. She was my English teacher at Horace Mann High School. She had a big heart and wanted the best for all of her students. I looked forward to coming to her class each day. I’ll miss her dearly. My condolences to her family and loved ones.

I am heartbroken Momma Mixon was like another mother to me. The last time I saw her was in September, she came to support my family on the loss of my Mom. Words cannot explain how much she meant to so many of us. She was an angel on earth and now she will forever be our spirit angel. Papa Mixon, Toy, Gene’o & Evan I pray for God to comfort and guide you during this time. Please find peace in knowing Momma Mixon is at peace and is no longer suffering. We love you guys. From: The Swann Family: Mark, Valerie, Rodge, Sherita(Bonnie), Tiesha and Davion.
