For a long time, Marilyn thought the Bolenders were her real parents. According to the foster sister, the girl lived with them until she was 8.5 years old.
Marilyn ended up at Bolenderei because her grandmother Della Mae Monroe lived opposite the Bolenders. Grandma was constantly around, even though her daughter, Marilyn’s biological mother Gladys, it was not. However, Aina Della was not the guest the Bolenders wanted. According to Nancy Bolender, his mental health was failing. For example, when Della found out that Marilyn was an illegitimate child, the religious grandmother tried to smother her grandchild with a pillow in the bed. However, Gladys managed to intervene. Sometimes the doors of the Bolenders’ home had to be locked to protect little Marilyn from her grandmother, sometimes the authorities had to be called to the scene.
