After completing high school Marjorie entered the work force during World War II as a talented and aspiring electrical and mechanical draftsman, quickly becoming a recognized expert in her profession at AT&T. Then she and Ed married and moved to rural Illinois. She highly enjoyed being the wife of her lifelong love Ed, and the rural life they shared on their farm while lovingly raising their 3 kids.

Marjorie’s family wishes to thank the staff and caretakers at the Vogel Center of Manor Park in Midland who have been crucial in helping to give her a great quality of life since we lost Dad in 2011.
