Marge was born in Ord, and grew up in O'Neill. She worked as a soda jerk in high school and served a lot of ice cream sundaes.

Once the children were grown, she earned a commercial art degree and created many beautiful paintings and drawings.

She and Don enjoyed traveling all over Europe. They also loved to spend time at their condo in Marco Island every winter. She was a big fan of Husker football, and they attended many bowl games.
