MARILYN "MOMOO" HOOPER EASTEP Marilyn "Momoo" Hooper Eastep Momoo - beloved wife, sister, mother and grandmother. A "Momoo" to a host of those who claimed her as their own, who may not have been kin through blood but were kin by unconditional love and fellowship she offered to all.

She grew up in Waco, Texas and moved to Seagoville, Texas in 1958, the day after she graduated from high school. After moving to Seagoville she met Robert Eastep at a fast food Drive-In. Three weeks later they were married in Seagoville, Texas on March 20, 1959 and resided there until moving to Crandall, Texas in 1970.

She began playing piano for her youth group at 14 years of age and quickly became a regular for the adult service. Over the years she has served many churches and played for an untold number of revivals, weddings and funerals.
