Marilyn married R. Neil Hall on November 6, 1954 and to this union they were blessed with three children, Gay B., Michael C. and Lori M. Hall. Neil, Marilyn, and their three children moved from California to Cortez, Colorado in 1973.
Marilyn worked many years (over 30) for the Cortez Police Department as a dispatcher and records clerk. Marilyn was an outgoing person who loved to talk and make friends. Marilyn was an outstanding cook and enjoyed sharing her home made treats with everyone. It was not well known but she could play any/all keyboard instruments. She so loved her family. In one of her final statements she said, “how are the kids, tell them that I love them so much.”
