Marilyn was joined in holy matrimony to Kelvin Jefferson, Sr. in April 1981 until her departure. Shortly after her marriage, they welcomed their first and only child, Kelvin Jefferson, Jr.
Shortly afterwards, Marilyn moved to Little Rock, AR, where she furthered her education at Eastern College for nursing. After college, she begin her career in health care. This line of work was a perfect job for her because she loved to help others. She was very family oriented. She had a smile that would brighten up the darkest room.
