He and Marilyn have four daughters, Rochelle, Colette, Charlotte, Kileen, and a son, Nathan.
After high school, Marilyn received a Degree in Education at Brigham Young University. While attending BYU she worked for the Drama Dept as a Seamstress and Costume Designer. This started her on her life passion of creating beautiful things from/with fabrics, threads and needles. First it was dresses for her beautiful daughters. Next it was Wedding Dresses, Bridesmaid’s dresses, then entire wedding lines. After her children left the nest she became passionate about quilting. She had the vision and drive to add her personal touch to her quilts resulting in recognition and top awards for many of them. She was affiliated with the Utah Quilt Guild as well as local quilt groups. She has contributed much to the Guild’s charitable activities.
