Marilyn was born on July 16th, 1939 in Dearborn, Michigan to Geraldine and Kenneth Seng Sr. 

Marilyn completed her college degree in education and pursued a career as an elementary education teacher in the Garden City, Michigan School District. She was passionate about her days in the classroom and relationships she built over the years.
