Marilyn Glaze Hoster was born September 19, 1922, in Goliad, Texas to Ben Cable Glaze and Marjorie Winters Glaze. She married David William Hoster, Sr. in 1946, and they moved from Taylor to Temple in 1967. Marilyn received her Master's in Education from Texas State University and began her long career in Education. She was a classroom teacher in many locations, including Victoria, Taylor and Temple; and was the curriculum coordinator for Taylor ISD. She later became the Principal of Reagan Elementary in Temple. Marilyn retired as Superintendent of the Temple ISD. She also worked for the Tuberculosis Association. After her retirement, Marilyn was an advisor for student teachers for UMHB and Texas A&M University.

Mrs. Hoster was a lifelong Episcopalian and attended Christ Episcopal Church and St. Francis Episcopal Church for many years. She and her late husband enjoyed traveling, and one of her fondest memories was their many trips to England, and especially London. For the past two years, Marilyn had a special relationship with her grandson, Chris Hoster, who provided loving companionship and took great care of her.

Mrs. Hoster was preceded in death by her husband, David William Hoster, Sr. in 1998.

She is survived by her son, Reverend David William Hoster, Jr. and wife Terrie; grandchildren, Ben Hoster, Chester Hoster, Chris Hoster, and David Hoster; great-grandchildren, Duncan Hoster, Rory Hoster, Peter Hoster and Noah Hoster; and cousin, Francis Meriwether.
