Marilyn was a talented bowler and won many bowling awards. She continued to bowl until 2019. She was a member of the Uhl Collectors Society, and she and Louis enjoyed attending many auctions to add pieces to their sentimental Uhl collection. She was also entertained by watching the birds and squirrels hanging around the feeders in her backyard.
