Fagan in January of 1958 and soon moved to Thornton, CO. They had three children, Timothy, Tamara, and Teresa. In 1969 they moved to Palisade, CO. They divorced in 1975, at that time Marilyn started her banking career at Palisade National Bank. She retired from banking almost 25 years later. She met the love of her life, Bobby R. Moore, they married in February, 1980. With his three children, Laura, Bryon and Brenda, she became the mother of six children. She was a Mother figure to many over her lifetime. She was the most caring, giving person that we have known. It didn't matter who you were, if you needed help, she was there with open arms and a smile. She enjoyed spending time with her family and collected various antiques, Coca-Cola, Betty Boop, Precious Moments and a family photo collection. Bob and Marilyn were one of the founding members of the Wheels West Car Club and took many fun trips going on club drives and car shows. Their car collection included a 1926 Chevy, 1955 Chevy Bel Air, 1942 Plymouth Coop, and a 1962 Ford Unibody Pickup.
