Marilyn graduated from Harding High School in 1960. Marilyn married Orin Berg on October 23, 1976. Along with her two children, Damon and Chione DiSanto, they lived in rural Pelican Rapids, Minnesota. Marilyn enjoyed meeting new people, was blessed with “the gift of gab” and could hold a meaningful conversation with a perfect stranger. Her creativity often kept her busy late into the evening, working on various projects. After Orin’s retirement from teaching, they moved back to Saint Paul to care for Marilyn’s mother, Helen. After several years, Marilyn developed COPD and moved to Woodbury Senior Living and resided there until the time of her passing.
