She was married to Robert L Stewart on December 4, 1946 in Marshalltown, Iowa. They lived a short time in Marshalltown before moving to Gilman, Iowa. They were blessed with three children; Paula, Janine and Lee Ann. In 1954 they moved to Port Angeles, Washington, but returned to Gilman in 1963, where they were truly at home.

Marjorie’s mastery of details made her a natural as the Superintendent’s secretary at SEMCO high school, and later as the manager of Cissy’s Convenience store in Gilman. Additionally known as an excellent cook, she was popular for the food served at Bob’s, the tavern owned by her husband.

Marjorie’s skill shined in her lifelong affinity for card games, especially bridge.

She thoroughly enjoyed the members of the club, and always looked forward to their weekly meetings.

Marjorie always had a positive, good-natured approach to life, which she shared cheerfully with her family. Primary among many family traditions, was their Sunday morning brunch, featuring Marjorie’s remarkable pancakes.

She also enjoyed reading, and watching college basketball, especially the Iowa State Cyclones. In the summer, she loved watching the St. Louis Cardinals baseball games.

She was a member of the Gilman Ladies American Legion Auxiliary, and the Marshalltown Women’s Legion Golf Association. In later years Marjorie enjoyed traveling with her daughters, with trips to Washington state, Louisiana and Minnesota, among the highlights.
