She continued sharing the gift of her voice as a Soprano Soloist at Grace Lutheran Church in Cleveland Heights, OH, as well as at weddings, private events and other venues throughout the greater Cleveland area. After moving to Wisconsin, Marilyn was a private vocal coach to numerous students over the course of 25+ years.

You were the first and only singing coach. I started in 4th grade and ended in my senior year of high school. You´ve given me strength and confidence. I´ll miss your smile and kindness.
