For nine years Marilyn taught at Valley HS in Kentucky, where she was responsible for the senior play as well teaching English. After moving to Mississippi she taught at Oakley Training School. The last school at which she taught was Clinton High School where she remained for 28 years. She loved her students and enjoyed teaching English IV and Public Speaking. Strict but fun loving, she earned the respect and affection from students and friends alike.
After retiring, Marilyn was active in the Clinton Association of Retired Educators, LeBonte Woman's Club, the Clinton Garden Club, and the CARE bridge club. She volunteered for Meals on Wheels, the Quisenberry Library, and the Clinton Visitor's Center. Ever so socially active, Marilyn met regularly with her birthday club which was comprised of other retired educators.

In addition she has two stepchildren, David Hooker and Cindy Sears as well as seven step grandchildren.
