After raising her children, Marilyn returned to college, graduated from Malone University in 1985 with a BA in Education.

After Art retired, he and Marilyn moved out of the city to Uniontown, Ohio. Art died in October 2007 and son Mark in June 2014. In 2015 Marilyn and daughter Sue moved to North Canton, Ohio as her memory began to fail. She enjoyed reading, walking, travel, and spending time outdoors.
