Born on April 29, 1947, in Pennsylvania, to Walter and Florence Neff, Marilyn spent her early years in San Diego, California, where she had her three children before settling in Indiana, in 1977.
There, she built a loving home and eventually met her lifelong partner, David Williams. Married for 30 years, they shared a joyful life filled with family and laughter, especially with their grandchildren.

She is survived by her husband, David; children, Stacey Collins and Donny Mullins (Katie); daughter in-law, Jenny Mullins; grandchildren, KyLee, Drake, Connor, Ramsey, Griffin, Irelyn, Delaney and Caroline; and great-grandchildren, Arya, Lottie, Ahria, Luka and Salem.
