Marillyn B. Svejkovsky was born in Dallas, Texas on February 16, 1932 to George W. Brown, Sr. and Christena Cozart Brown. Her father worked as a mechanic for an oil company, which resulted in the family moving often. In 1943, they moved to Oklahoma City where Marillyn attended Webster Jr. High and graduated from Central High School in 1949. She attended the University of Oklahoma for two years before marrying Bill R. Svejkovsky on May 26, 1951. They had two children: son, David and daughter, Janet. Marillyn was an excellent china painter and loved collecting primitive antiques. She and Bill made many trips in search of antiques. Subsequently, she opened a successful antique and gift store, Country Temptations, where she spent many happy years doing what she loved. Marillyn was a long-time, active member of Metropolitan Baptist Church. She attended faithfully until her health began declining. She was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and friend, always ready to do for others. Her sweet and gracious manner was evident to all and she was loved by many.
