She worked over the years for Armstrong's, Modern Business Systems (IKON), and Cedar Memorial West.  Marilyn loved watching birds, especially enjoying cardinals "red birds", all types of flowers, the Chicago Cubs, Iowa Hawkeyes and any sporting or fine arts events her kids and grandkids were in.  Marilyn treasured special trips to South Dakota, Colorado, Branson, and Ohio with her beloved kids and grandkids.  She was a proud member of the Red Hat Society.
