Marjorie graduated from Beloit High School as the salutatorian of the Class of 1944.   She worked at the Boston Store in Alliance, Ohio, and later was employed by the United States Post Office in Beloit until her marriage.
Marjorie married Norman E. Henderson on May 31, 1946 in the Beloit Friends Church. He preceded her in death on December 31, 2009.   Their first home was on Beloit-Snodes Road, and they later moved to Westville.   She was a member of the Westville Congregational Christian Church, assisting with Vacation Bible School, and volunteered with the Mothers ™ Club for their daughters ™ classes at both Damascus and Knox Elementary Schools.   In 1963 the family re-located to Mt.
