Marjorie made a profession of faith in Christ at an early age and attended the Harvestime Tabernacle Church in Marshfield for many years and has been attending Diggins Apostolic Church for the last 5 years.

In her spare time, she enjoyed embroidering, word search and jigsaw puzzles, embroidering, and gardening.
