A few years later, Marilyn and David's life was blessed by the birth of a daughter, Brenda Joyce. Marilyn was a devoted wife and mother and an excellent homemaker. She enjoyed decorating their home as well as cooking and sharing recipes with family and friends.

Marilyn's church activities included teaching Sunday school and Vacation Bible School as well as participating in the Lutheran Women's Missionary League (LWML).
In 2007, Marilyn and David had new carpet installed in their church, Zion Lutheran of Guthrie, as a memorial to the Rouse family, all of whom had been active church members there.
Marilyn was predeceased by her parents, Maurice and Maude Kelley Rouse, of Pleasant Valley and her two sisters, who were twins and their husbands, Geraldine Rouse Thomas and Leon Thomas, Pleasant Valley, and Maxine Rouse Harman and Robert Harman, Guthrie.
She is survived by her husband, David, to whom she was married over 57 years; her daughter, Brenda Goodrich Nivens and her son-in-law, Gary Nivens, of Pleasant Valley.
