Early in life the family moved from Colorado to Norfolk, Nebraska where Marylu grew up enjoying swimming and riding horses. She graduated from Norfolk Senior High School and began her adult life in Omaha, Nebraska with her first husband, Bil Pearson. She studied to become a Registered Nurse, earning a degree from Nebraska Methodist School of Nursing. She had three daughters. After the divorce, she settled down in York, Nebraska to continue raising her children. She worked at Fillmore County Hospital, The Nebraska Correctional Center for Women, and Rivendell Psychiatric Center. She was active in Al-Anon, where she met her second husband, Don Robson. A few years after his death, she met her husband Leroy Swails. She and Leroy shared a home in Shickley, Nebraska before moving to Jacksonville, Florida to help care for her parents. Marylu loved her family very much. Still active in Al-Anon, enjoying swimming and reading, she also loved spending time with her grand-children and participating in church activities, service duties, and became a Guardian ad Litem.
