Marjorie was raised on her family's ranch in Mountain Home, where she lived for 89 years. She graduated from Tivy High School. After marrying, she stayed home as a homemaker raising her children and tending her garden.
She was the first one ready to go for ice cream, successfully met her goal of visiting all 50 states, and personally knit over 1,000 baby hats for newborns at local hospitals.
