After high school she married and had 5 children, Dwyne Glascock (deceased), Michael Glascock, Mari Cathryn Sandoval, Jeffrey Glascock, and James Van Glascock (deceased). After several moves she settled in Albuquerque in 1971.

Marilyn worked as secretary/clerical assistant. Her most memorable job was working for the National Indian Council On Aging as Project Coordinator of Operations Research, where she was able to travel to Washington DC. She was an exceptional bowler and the sport took her all over the country for tournaments. She loved all her bowling buddies and had several life-long friends.

Kenny and Marilyn met and married in 1980. They enjoyed going dancing and car shows. They would go camping and hunting for the month of September. Archery and bowling filling in their time. Going for a drive just to see what was around the next bend. They got to know every waiter and waitress at the restaurants they favored. In their later years it was reading Louie Lamore books, and crocheting for Mom and crossword puzzles, and watching car racing, and animal adventures on television for Dad.

They are survived by 7 children, 19 grandchildren, 47 great grandchildren and 23 great great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.

Cremation has taken place. They requested no funeral, rather have a good meal to talk about memories and fun times. Their ashes will be interned in the Rose Garden at Sunset Memorial Cemetery in Albuquerque, NM.
