She graduated from Central Diablo Valley College in 1967 with an AD in Dental Hygiene, Central Michigan University in 1975 with a BS, and Tulsa Junior College in 1983 with an AD in Nursing. She taught dental hygiene and later worked as a registered nurse in Tulsa and Granville, Ohio.

Ken and Marilyn enjoyed many good years living in Fresno, Concord, Midland, Tulsa and Granville Ohio, before retiring in Dubois, Wyoming, and in 2006, moving to Delaware, Ohio. Marilyn resided at Willowbrook Christian Community and was well cared for in recent months as she struggled with health issues.
