Margery Stevens was born on April 4, 1894 in Orderville, Kane County, Utah, the tenth child of Charles Franklin Stevens and Olive Emily DeMille. She served an LDS mission in the Western States Mission, headquartered in Denver, Colorado. After serving in Alamosa, Colorado from April 1917, she was transferred to Denver at the end of October of 1918. She worked tirelessly with several people who had become victims of the Influenza epidemic. Margery also fell victim to that and died on November 5, 1918. Her father rode the train out to Denver and accompanied his daughters body to Cedar City, Utah. Margery's Mission president also accompanied them and preached her funeral sermon. She was buried near her mother in the Cedar City Cemetery.

Serving in the same mission was an Elder by the name of Joseph Alma Marley (from McCammon, Idaho) who became acquainted with Margery. He had intended to ask her to be his wife after their missions were over. After Margery's death, he wrote to her father and told him of his intentions. Arrangements were made and he and Margery were sealed as husband and wife in the Logan Temple on June 16, 1920. Margery's sister, Ida May Stevens Checketts stood as proxy for her sister. Ida's husband, Charles Checketts and Margery's father were witnesses for the marriage. He was married to his second wife, Annie Marintha Savage on September 15, 1926 in Burley, Cassia Co. Idaho. He passed away on December 20, 1967 in Pocatello, Bannock Co. Idaho and is buried in the Restlawn Cemetery in Pocatello, Bannock Co., Idaho.
