They were wed on Thanksgiving day on November 28, 1957 in the Methodist Church. They would have had their 59th wedding anniversary this year. They became "helpmates" for life and produced two children to complete the family. Their life journey in Education took them to Crystal Springs, D'Iberville, Pass Christian, and Long Beach Public schools. Marilyn's life included many events, relationships, traveling, quilting, camping, and attending First Baptist Church in Long Beach, Mississippi.
