Marilyn worked for D.E. Huddleston as their Officer Manager and had also worked as a Nail Tech at Head Up Salon and in sales for the former Elder-Beerman. She was an avid gardener, loved to cook and sew and enjoyed traveling. Marilyn loved spending her winters in Florida with her “Florida Friends”.
