Biography
Hickey was born in Overland Park, Kansas, on July 1, 1931. When she was a young girl, Marilyn, whose parents were professing Methodists, attended church only casually, but she became a born again Christian when she was a teenager. In college, she studied Spanish, intending to become a public high school teacher until she met her husband, Assemblies of God pastor Wallace Hickey. The couple married, and after a short time in Texas returned to Denver, Colorado to found Full Gospel Chapel. The church, later known as Orchard Road Christian Center, became one of the largest churches in the Denver area, and currently meets in a former mall in Greenwood Village. They later turned over the pastorate to their daughter Sarah Bowling and son-in-law Reece Bowling.
Hickey's husband Wallace died October 2012 at the age of 87.[1]
