Marilyn was born May 13, 1937, to John Raymond Harmon and Blanche L (Keedy) Harmon in Auburn NE. She lived and went to school initially in Schenectady NY.

Marv joined the army and was initially trained at the Alameda Naval Base in California where they were married July 9, 1955. It was a small wedding with only Gene and Lois Watermeir standing up for them. After only three weeks of being married they had to go their separate ways with Marilyn returning to Nebraska and Marv being sent to Fort Lewis in Washington and from there on to Korea.

She enjoyed traveling and camping with her family, garage sales and thrift store shopping, quilting and sewing, and most especially enjoyed visiting with anyone and everyone.
