Marilyn graduated from school in London at the age of 15 and went to work for Shell Oil Company. She, all her life, was an avid fan of Manchester United English Football (Soccer) Team. She met her husband Bill Golson while he was working in London for Brown and Root UK (Houston, Texas), for engineering, fabrication and installation of offshore platforms and pipelines for the oil and gas industry for their North Sea developments.

Marilyn accompanied her husband on other foreign projects while maintaining a residence in Kingwood, Texas; Bahrain, 11 years, Korea, 3 years, and Singapore, 4 years. She always accepted with love, people of all nationalities and cultures. While living in Bahrain, she traveled to London for the birth of sons William Thomas Golson (12/12/1976) and Barry Bladen Golson (8/25/1978). After Bill's retirement from Brown and Root, they relocated from Houston, and then to the Blanco area in 2002.
