Marilyn was employed for 46 years at the Marshfield Clinic as a medical technologist specializing in hematology.

They cruised the rivers of Europe, the Oceans of Australia, North and Central America. She was always thrilled to explore the world.

Marilyn loved her community! She could be found at countless volunteer opportunities at the Marshfield Chapter 55 of the American Legion. Her love of volunteering would also find her at the Versiti Blood Center, voting precinct as a dedicated poll worker, and the Marshfield Clinic/Hospital.
