Marilyn enjoyed gardening. She grew various vegetables and canned or froze the produce from the garden. She also had various flower beds and flowerpots. She sewed and made school bags as a mission project for the church. She also folded the weekly Sunday morning bulletins for the church.
Marilyn enjoyed camping. We camped as a family and took numerous camping vacations. She has traveled to almost all 50 states as well as to some areas of Canada. She wintered in Texas for several years. She also took the Amtrack train to see Richard in western Colorado twice a year until she was not able to go.
She enjoyed playing cards with friends and families. We played games when we went camping. As children, Marilyn and Gene played cards every Saturday night with their friends. There was always laughter when they were playing pitch.
