Her unexpected ascension to heaven was swift to be joined by her parents and her Savior. She was raised in Holbrook an had many happy memories of her litle town on Route 66 and her older sister Kathryn.
She loved teaching and soon became engaged to her eternal companion. They had 5 children and she stayed home with them to ensure their constant love and care. After her children were raised, she returned to education as a counselor at Dobson High school in Mesa, AZ. Marilyn was a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Later-Day Saints where she served in many positions, but Primary always had her heart.
She taught her treasured class just days before her passing. She served two LDS missions with her soulmate, Bruce. She always had a love of Hawaii after her honeymoon and treasured returning as a missionary.
Although her community and church service were great, she cherished service within her own family as she daily checked in with her children and grandchildren. Her dedication to family was fierce, constant and unwavering.
