Born in McHenry, Illinois, to Marshall and Anne Gatti Bacon, Marilyn was raised in the Trenton/Yardville area. She graduated from Notre Dame High School and completed her Special Education degree at Glassboro College. She taught in several school districts including Hightstown, Roosevelt, and spent the last couple decades teaching at Camden County Vocational Technical School.

Marilyn always loved helping those in need and was a very generous person at heart.
