Her grandfather was one of the first African American police officers in the state. Marilyn attended Dover-Sherborn High School, which was an hour from her home. She was also a student of the government association and co-editor of the school newspaper.
She developed her interest or was sparked by the murder of her 17-year-old cousin by another 17-year-old cousin outside of their home.
