Together they raised their eight children in Guernsey and Laramie. Once retired, Carl and Marjorie settled in Harlingen, Texas until they returned to Guernsey.

Marge spent many years in various positions at Crazy Tony's in Guernsey, where everyone who came in was greeted with a huge smile and a kind word. Marge was employed at the University of Wyoming as a custodian where she retired in 1995.

Once retired, Marge and Carl bought an RV, traveled the country, visited their children, met new people, and created memories. They settled in Harlingen, Texas until returning to Guernsey in 2020. Marge loved watching the hummingbirds come to her feeders, she couldn’t pass up a garage sale and decided that going to karaoke was a wonderful retirement activity. Her favorite song to sing was Crazy by Patsy Cline. Marge had a love for life. She found humor in many things and her laugh was infectious.
