Marilyn Whitaker was born Oct. 3, 1935, in Ne-
osho, Mo., to parents, Henry Gibson Turner and
Evelyn Dale. Marilyn had one brother, Jerry, who
has been deceased for seven years now. Her fa-
ther, Henry, was a Carpenter and her mother, Eve-
lyn, was a Social Worker for the state of Missouri.
Marilyn grew up in the Joplin area. “Our family was
a close knit family,” she said. The family enjoyed
being outdoors, camping, and swimming. Mari-
lyn’s mother was the oldest of 12 children and her
father was the youngest of 12 children so there
were always aunts, uncles, and cousins to spend
time with.
Marilyn met Bill while she was in high school
and the two became a couple. After graduating
from High School, Marilyn attend Joplin Jr. College, and then Pitts State Univer-
sity. In 1956, Marylyn and Bill were married.
Bill worked as a salesman for most of his life. He sold many different things,
including foods, insurance, and auto parts. Marilyn worked for the Division of
Family Services in Vernon, Hickory, and Henry Counties for 30 years.
The couple had three children, five grandchildren, and four great grandchil-
dren. Marilyn is thrilled that two of her grandchildren live in Bolivar and she is
able to visit with them often.
Throughout the years, the Whitaker family loved camping on Pomme De
Terre Lake. The family enjoyed swimming and taking their boats out. They had
several couples that they would camp with, and always had a wonderful time.
Marilyn has a love for genealogy and researching her family tree. She is also
an avid reader and history buff. Marylyn has been on 20 cruises, many to the
Caribbean Islands, Alaska, and the North East, and took a three week tour of
Europe. She loved her time travelling and on the cruises, and made many won-
derful friends from all over the U.S.
Marilyn has had several stays at Parkview in the past and recently made
Parkview her permeant home. She shared that the best thing about living here
is the staff and friends she has made that feel like family.
Congratulations, Marilyn, on being chosen as the Parkview Health Care Fa-
cility Resident of the month.
