Professionally, Marilee was an elementary school teacher, having taught in elementary schools in Enid, Oklahoma, Kansas City, Missouri and Orvis Risner and Chisholm elementary schools in Edmond, Oklahoma. She retired from teaching in 2010.

She was a long-time resident of Edmond, Oklahoma where she lived with her husband Charles, whom she married in 1967 and sons Douglas Alan (born in 1972) and Brian David (born in 1976).

She will be long remembered by those who knew and loved her as a compassionate, caring and giving individual. A faithful member of Southern Hills Christian Church, Edmond, she led and assisted in helping to serve others less fortunate than she. These services included multiple mission trips with others in her church to Honduras and the Dominican Republic. She instituted and led many years in the church’s “Alternative Christmas Festival” in which handmade Christmas cards were sold to benefit various charities in the area and globally. Whenever her church was involved in mission-related activities Marilee was an active participant.
