Marilyn was preceded in death by her parents.
Marilyn graduated from high school in Curtis, Nebraska and then received her nursing licenses in 1965 from Saint Luke's Nursing School in Denver, Colorado. While attending St. Luke's, she met her husband of 54 years, Joe Eddins. Joe was stationed at Lowery Air Force Base in Denver, Colorado attending missile launch school. After a brief romance, they got engaged prior to Joe being stationed in Germany. After a 14-month tour in Germany, Joe returned to marry Marilyn at the Methodist Church in Imperial, Nebraska on October 8, 1966.
Their honeymoon was spent traveling to Davis Montham AFB in Tucson, Arizona where Joe was a member of Titan II Launch Crew. Marilyn started her extensive nursing career as a surgical nurse in Tucson. After discharge from the Air Force, the Eddins worked in Colorado for the next 25 years. Marilyn worked in four different hospitals as a surgical, neonatal, nursery and geriatric nurse. After Joe's retirement, they moved to Cheyenne, Wyoming where Marilyn worked as a geriatric nurse and retired after 12 years from Cheyenne Health Care Nursing Home, ending a 45-year career as a registered nurse. Marilyn led by example and showed us how to die with dignity. Amen!
