She went to a country school through 8th grade and graduated from Glenwood High School in 1934. In 1935 the family moved to Caldwell, Idaho and Marjorie worked for several ladies doing housework. It was during this time she met Jack LaRue who would become her life time partner. They were married December 2, 1937 by a local pastor. They lived in Central Cove area where Jack farmed and both daughters were born. In the fall of 1942 they moved Northwest of Caldwell to the Enrose community and farmed there until 1988 when they moved into Caldwell. In all the years Marjorie lived on the farm, she always grew a sizable garden and did lots of canning and freezing for her family's winter supply of food. She also grew beautiful roses, lilacs and different kinds of flowers. She was a Godly woman, a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother.

After Marjorie and Jack retired they took several trips which they enjoyed, going to California, Hawaii, Alaska, New England, Canada, Europe and the Southern States.
