She was born in Warrensburg, MO, February 7, 1946, the daughter of John William Fosnow, Jr. and Laree Mae (Swisher) Fosnow.

During her school years, Marilyn attended school in Orrick, Henrietta, Richmond, Knob Noster, Calhoun, Windsor and Lincoln, Missouri. She graduated from Lincoln High School with the class of 1964.
Shortly after being married, Gary was drafted into the U. S Army in March 1966.

In October 1966, Marilyn flew to Anchorage, Alaska to join Gary, who was stationed at Ft Richardson.

After an early retirement in June 2004, Marilyn and Gary moved to a small farm they owned near Calhoun, Missouri.
After moving into a new country home, Marilyn enjoyed all of her favorite hobbies, quilting, embroidery, and she established a beautiful yard full of flowers. Each year just after Thanksgiving, the house was festively decorated for Marilyn's annual Christmas Cookie Exchange. She loved to open their home to family and friends for all special occasions.
In addition to her husband Gary, Marilyn is survived by a daughter, Regina Barger and her husband Keith, two granddaughters Amelia and Violet all of Derby, KS; six brothers, Larry, Bob, Bill, Rick and Russ of Windsor, MO and Randy of Sedalia, MO; and two sisters Linda Alcorn and Carol Sawyer of Sedalia, MO.
