She married and moved to Texas where she spent most of her adult life. Marilyn spent her career working for the government and the state. She was chosen to be on the communications team for President Lyndon Johnson after Kennedy’s assassination. She later worked for Elton Bomer, Texas Secretary of State, former Governor George W.
