Official Bio
Marilyn Nutter of Greer, South Carolina, loves finding treasures in unexpected places: gratitude in mulch, conversations with grandchildren, and old family recipes. Most of all she has found the treasure of hope in loss. Unexpectedly widowed after forty-two years of marriage, Lamentations 3: 22-23 has been a brilliant treasure.
After a career as a speech-language pathologist, Marilyn pursued God’s calling to write and is the author of devotional books and a contributor to print, on-line publications, and compilations. She is co-author with April White of the award winning Destination Hope: A Travel Companion When Life Falls Apart.
Her book Hope for Widows: Reflections on Mourning, Living, and Change, is an outcome of her journals and widowhood journey, and will be released in 2024. She serves as a facilitator for Grief Support for Spouses and on the women’s ministry team at her church. Her blog encourages us toward hopeful living by weaving hope and purpose in our ordinary and challenging days. She began married life on a Caribbean island and any beach with splashing waves is still her happy place, especially when shared with her grands.
