After raising four children, she studied at Liberty University. Her husband, Bob Mateer (deceased 2015), was a career banker until he joined the Liberty University faculty in the Business School, where he taught Finance for 28 years. Marilyn enjoys secretarial work and was employed at LU, Centra Health, and Randolph-Macon Woman’s College before retirement.
