In 1961 she married Lester Bellock and they had five children; they later divorced. Throughout the years, she worked various jobs in the area. She married Errol Osmonson in 1990 and later divorced.

Marilyn enjoyed working outside on the farm, gardening, cooking, cleaning and her early morning walks. She loved spending time with her church family and friends. Her most favorite time of all was spending time with her children and grandchildren. She loved babysitting the grandkids, taking them for rides in the car to go shopping, get ice cream or just a ride. She was always there to lend a hand when needed. Marilyn will be most remembered by her infectious giggle.
