Marilyn and her family have lived all over the world including: Leadville, CO , Grand Junction, CO, Monticello, UT, Sandy, UT, Indonesia, Copiapo Chile, Democratic Republic of Congo, Reno, NV and finally Henderson, NV.

She was a member of the Arts Guild, Nevada Clay Guild and the Henderson Multigenerational Center. Her work, like her, is all over the world being enjoyed by many. She enjoyed golfing, playing bridge (she had achieved Master points), playing pool, gambling, and playing Yahtzee with family and friends.
