In 1982, Marilyn contracted MS (multiple sclerosis) and had the difficult life of increased disability with being wheelchair bound, with her husband caring for her and all her needs throughout the decades.

Along with her parents, Marilyn was preceded in death by four brothers: Emil Jr., Roger, Dan and George.
“My mother was very strong to handle her severe disability over the years and my Dad was faithful and devoted to her care.”
