Lasallian Founder's Alumni Award: Dedication to Quality Education, Marilyn Troupe, Ed.D.

May 26, 2023

From the Bishop Kelley Class of 1963.

It’s safe to say that Marilyn Troupe has spent her life investing time in the next generation. Her dedication to education across the country has bettered the lives of others and culminate in her receiving this year’s Lasallian Founder’s Alumni Award in Quality Education.


Marilyn, a 1963 graduate, has embraced education as her vocation. She’s worked for Oral Roberts University, Tulsa Public Schools, and Lane College of Jackson, Mississippi. Beyond the classroom, Marilyn has done further work in education through the Oklahoma Department of Vocational Education and the Education & Professional Standards Board in Frankfort, Kentucky. To round out her experience, she worked for the Department of the Army at the Pentagon in Virginia. Furthermore, her volunteer work is evident, as are the results.

 

She’s served on numerous boards nationwide, including the St. Monica’s Parish Council in Tulsa and the Foster Care Review Board. In the Diocese, she wears many hats, serving as a Eucharistic Minister, Lecturer, part of the Altar Society, Catholic Daughters of America, and as a CCD teacher. She fills her schedule by volunteering at soup kitchens, Walk for Mankind, and Special Olympics–among other activities. She’s served every generation, from helping young girls and boys with etiquette and self-esteem to volunteering with the Elderly Nutrition Program and the Adult Daycare Center for the Elderly.


Marilyn has raised funds for Catholic Schools in Kentucky, taught religious education in Mississippi, and worked with youth in Oklahoma. She has been a model for all to be great citizens and active community members.
