She was born in South Bend on June 26, 1929 to the late Alfred and Clara (Scheibelhut) Bill, and remained a lifelong area resident. On May 21, 1949 in St. Patrick's Catholic Church in South Bend, Marilyn married Robert C. Strebinger, who survives.

She was "Mom" to everyone and her policy was "Hugs are free to all and there is always room for one more".
