Marilyn was of the General Baptist Faith and loved attending Arbor Baptist Church.

Along with her mother, Marilyn moved to Jackson in 1955 and had been a resident there since.

One of her favorite things to do, before becoming ill, was to make a trip to Sikeston, Missouri, to shop at Ollie's. That quickly became her favorite place to shop! And almost always, she would buy something for her little church at Arbor.

She was preceded in death by both her mother and father.
