Marilyn graduated from Essex Junction High School and worked for the Howard Bank and McAuliffe's Office Products. She also started a kindergarten in her home in Essex Junction because there wasn't public kindergarten in the school system. She taught many children and they stayed in her heart forever. For her 90th birthday she had many responses from her former students. After her mother passed away, Marilyn moved back to Essex Junction and co-owned the Mary Booth Yarn Shop with her sister-in-law Carol and together with Bob's assistance, kept an iconic tradition running smoothly for knitters of all ages for many years.

Marilyn was also a member of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority for over 50 years since she lived on Brooks Avenue in Essex Junction.

Marilyn and Bob loved the world of camping, with their family and including their grandchildren, starting with a tent, moving up to a pop-up camper, then onto a self- contained and then finally a motor home. They travelled near and far and loved all the friends they met along the way.

Marilyn also took up the love of learning to play the organ with Keys to Fun. She made many new friends and took lessons and played daily and enjoyed the challenge of mastering each organ.

The family wishes to acknowledge UVMMC and St. Albans Rehabilitation for their care of Mom and our family during this very difficult time. We also express our thanks to everyone at Williston Place and Mansfield Place for their excellent friendships and care for Marilyn and Bob.
