She loved being around people and chatting on the phone. No matter what the Lord gave her , she handled it with enthusiasm-even though she had to deal with some health issues. She put other peoples’ needs before her own. Marilyn grew up on a ranch in Goshen Hole, Wyoming which is west of Veteran ,and she adored the “wide open spaces”. She was able to relive the memories of her childhood on a trip out there in July 2010. Marilyn was extremely proud of the accomplishments of her 2 daughters and 5 grandchildren.
