When she moved to Payson, AZ, she worked for Barbara Nicks (Stevie Nicks mother) in her antique store and was in contact with her many fans via email and phone doing mailings of Stevie's items and was very involved in her fan club even after she moved back to Oconto in 2000.

Marilynn first volunteered at Oconto Middle School and then worked for the school for many years. She loved gardening and taking care of her flowers. Marilynn and her sister Karen were avid Cubs fans before the Braves moved to Milwaukee in 1953 and have continued to be fans since, mostly listening to them on the radio. She was also a proud supporter of the Oconto Area Humane Society.

Besides her parents she was preceded in death by two brothers; a niece and a nephew.

Marilynn is survived by two brothers; two sisters; two sisters-in-law; and many nieces, nephews, cousins.
