One of her greatest accomplishments during her long life was raising her four children, instilling in them a love for both music and the out of doors. During her life, Marylyn spent many years as both a Girl Scout Leader and head of the Shawnee Mission West Band-Aides. Following her husband’s retirement, they traveled throughout the world, seeing all 50 states and 6 of the 7 continents. She especially loved the time they spent together in Ft.
