She is also a grandparent to 23 grandchildren and 51 great grandchildren, and recently added 2 new great-great grandsons.
She is a very talented seamstress and has sewn clothing, prom dresses and wedding dresses for her children. She has sewn upholstery, draperies, and still sews costumes for a theatre group. Her quilts are cherished by her family.
Marilyn is a master of fixing things. She has repaired hairblowers, electronics, bikes, some motors and sewing machines.
Her home is always open to friends and family that need a place to stay.
