She worked as a Respiratory and Sleep Therapist for OZH and TCMH for 22 years. In her younger years, Marilyn played softball with enthusiasm and skill, often outplaying the many men she played with and against. Marilyn also enjoyed many hobbies, especially sewing and quilting. Marilyn was the kind of person that never knew a stranger. One of her favorite things was to play pranks on her brothers by enlisting the help of her children.
