Marjorie was born June 11, 1919, in Yankton, S.D., the daughter of Peter A. and Laura M. (Kaiser) Speichinger. She was raised in Yankton and attended Sacred Heart School. As a young woman she came to Sioux City, where she attended the Midwest Business College.

She enjoyed golfing and being in the outdoors, but what she loved most was spending time with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She really enjoyed life.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; three brothers, Melvin, Robert and Richard; and an infant sister.
A memorial had been established in her name for the American Life League.
