Marilyn was the daughter of Carl Prince Beaty and Verlie Irene Hannah born on October 4th, 1942 in Paul's Valley Oklahoma. She graduated from Atwater High School in 1960 and attended Modesto Junior College until 1962 when she married.

Marilyn married Robert Preston Sorenson on May 5, 1962 in Winton California and remained together the rest of their lives celebrating their 57th wedding anniversary in 2019, the year Robert passed away. Shortly after they were married, they settled in Atwater California where Marilyn worked in banking before they had their first child. Marilyn relocated with her young family to Eureka California where she raised three more children and later went back to working in retail office work and banking.

Marilyn always stayed busy gardening, canning food, sewing clothes for her children and quilting with friends. She made quilts for friends, family, weddings and baby showers with the skills she learned from her mother. In her later years she loved to swim and play with her grandkids in the water.

Marilyn's main focus outside of her family was her devotion and service as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Converting in 1968 she lived a Christ centered life serving as the president of the Relief Society, the Young Women's Organization, and Primary.

Marilyn was a loving grandmother and after retirement she moved to Boise Idaho and then to Lehi Utah to be closer to children and grandkids.
