Ostrander in Angelica. They moved to Virginia where Marilyn taught school and George finished serving in the U.S. Navy.

She played the piano and organ well and sang beautifully in church choirs and for family and friend's weddings. Many of her students enjoyed her playing piano and singing songs with them in school.
