Marlys' faith was very strong. She was an active member of Kanawha Lutheran Church where she served as a Sunday school teacher, was active in ladies circle and music in the church. She also lived her faith through her hospitality. She frequently opening her house to others, whether stranded travelers or friends of her children. Marlys loved golfing, fishing and bowling. She seldom missed any of her children's school activities or events. She and Larry loved spending time at the lake.
