Marilyn grew up in Lucan, Ontario, Canada on Main Street.

Marilyn's childhood house is on the left. The house on the right belonged to her mother's parents: Lorne Edward Beattie & Lillian Pearl Ironside. These two houses are located on the east side of Main Street, just south of Chestnut Street. Across the street is the Lucan Community Memorial Centre & Arena.

In the late 1950s/early 1960s, the Culberts moved to 210 George Street...

210 George Street, Lucan, Ontario.

The move to the George Street house took place when Marilyn was a teenager. This was right about the time that she was busy making making a fashion statement with her crinoline...
