She was born December 27, 1925 in Troy, Ohio the daughter of Walter Leroy and Maude (Hyer) Crouse.
Marilyn graduated from Troy High School where she helped, due to her love of dancing, start the REC. She then attended and graduated from Good Samaritan Nursing School in Dayton, Ohio thanks to the generosity of the Margaret Heywood Fund and the Cadet Air Corps.
