Marilee Bernice
Finder (Nee Dennis)
Apr 16, 1941 — Nov 10, 2025
Creve Coeur
Finder, Marilee Bernice (nee Dennis), baptized into the hope of Christ's resurrection, Monday, November 10, 2025. Beloved wife of the late Donald E. Finder; dear mother of Keith Joseph Finder, Kimberly Ann (Eric) Meier, Jeffrey Michael (Kim) Finder; loving grandmother of Trent, Megan, and Dylan Finder and Eliana and Maximilian Meier; daughter of the late August and Bernice Dennis (nee Pohlman); sister of Michele (Don) Fuerst, Mary Fran Schanda, and the late Madelyn Visconti (Jim); a dear aunt, great-aunt, cousin, and friend.
Marilee's passion for arts and crafts was as vibrant as her spirit. A talented painter, crafter, and artist, she was always busy making something beautiful. Her creations were not just crafts, they were expressions of love and care shared generously with family and friends.
Each morning, Marilee found joy in the simple ritual of sipping coffee and twirling her hair in quiet prayer. This sacred time of the day grounded her in peace and reflection that set the tone for the day.
A lifelong fan of the St. Louis Cardinals, Marilee loved to listen to ballgames on the radio in the basement while she crafted. Baseball was a cherished connection to family and a source of joy she carried throughout her life.
