Marjorie was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was a devoted Christian and lifetime member at St. James Lutheran.

Marjorie is survived by: her children, Kathi (Lee) Strahl, Connie (Tom) Kring, Dan Babcock, Lori (Paul) Schmiedeknecht, and Jeanne Walker; brother, Ed Kessler; 12 grandchildren; 26 great-grandchildren; and two great-great-grandchildren.
