In her early years she loved her job at Steeles Market in the deli. Later she was a caretaker of her mother Maria.

In that time, together they enjoyed countless hours acquiring antique furniture at local flea markets, taking long drives, and having their morning coffee in the biggest cups they could find. Together they raised Marilyn's four children, and later we're very proud grandparents of seven beautiful granddaughters and one handsome great-grandson.
