Marilyn enjoyed any kind of travel, from cruises to tours to the occasional trip with her Loveland Sweetheart Sam’s RV Club. She spent time over the years with their Model T Club, and the Rocky Mountain Chapter of the Buick Club of America, where she was the secretary for the past several years. 

Marilyn enjoyed stamping letters for several years through Loveland’s “Sweetheart City” Valentine Program. Marilyn took a cake decorating class which taught her skills so she could go on to decorate many cakes for family and friends. She loved plants and flowers, especially roses. She loved arranging flowers for friends, church, and family. She loved the mountain view from her home, smiley faces, hummingbirds, storybook dolls, and any cute, little critters.
