Marilyn was an entrepreneur with a strong business sense. She began her career as an insurance agent, and went on to teach in elementary education. Because of her love of children, she opened her own Daycare, allowing her to do what she loved. Marilyn also began a non-profit foundation around 2012 called Feed the Five Thousand. Through this foundation, she was able to feed the homeless, mentor single mothers, provide transportation and also utility assistance for those in need. Marilyn was also very devoted to her faith, being a prophetess at Shiloh Deliverance Ministry. In her spare time, you could find Marilyn shopping, spending time with her family and having a good laugh with those she loved.
