Marilyn began teaching in Lumberton, TX and dedicated her whole self to teaching for 27 years before becoming Principal for the Lumberton ISD Intermediate campus.

Throughout her life, Marilyn stood firm as a source of unwavering love, strength, and guidance to her family and friends. She married Bob Webb on June 16th, 1956, and spent 47 years building community wherever they laid their hats.
