Marjorie was employed as a registered nurse for many years retiring in 1996 from Lincoln Lutheran Home. She was a member of Emaus Lutheran Church and RING (Retired Inactive Nurses Group).

Marjorie thoroughly enjoyed the Shively Family Reunions, watching the Packers, Badgers and Brewers, sewing and traveling. Most of all she treasured time spent with her family especially her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
