Marjorie studied business at Western Illinois University and worked at an insurance agency in Monmouth prior to her marriage. She was a farm wife in the Walnut Grove area prior to moving to the Bardolph area in 1960. She was active in the Bardolph United Methodist Church, where she played the organ, and later the Jerusalem United Methodist Church, the MDH auxiliary, and the Bushnell card club. Later in life she enjoyed bowling. She was an avid gardener, of vegetables and flowers, as was known for sharing bouquets at church services, winning ribbons for her bouquets at local fairs and arranging bouquets for family weddings. Those who attended the Bricker Auction Center enjoyed her raisin pies and family members enjoyed her dinner rolls, cinnamon rolls, and homemade ice cream. She sewed most of her own clothes and made quilts for each grandchild and several great-grandchildren. Because of her influence, family members learned how to garden, cook and sew. She also raised chickens; her grandchildren could be heard commenting that you don’t mess with a woman who raised chickens. Marjorie attended many events, especially sports, of her children and grandchildren. She was an avid Cubs fan and followed Big Ten basketball, especially the Fighting Illini. She loved spending time with family at reunions, celebrations, and outings. Her energy in spirit and love will be missed but will be carried on in her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
