Marilyn enjoy composing and rearranging music and playing for the church every week.

Marilyn cherished times in her garden with her great grandkids. In weekly potlucks, Marilyn always told the family to carry a fork with them, because the best is yet to come! Her most important attribute was her faith in Jesus.
