She loved going to eat at krystals and snacking on Fritos potato chips. 

Marilyn enjoyed life's simple pleasures, including savoring sweet tea, collecting porcelain dolls, and swimming with her grandchildren at her daughter Terry's house. Her love for local markets was palpable, as she enjoyed spending weekends at yard sales and selling items at the flea market.
