She married the love of her life Wallace L. Hornberger Sept. 12, 1953. They first lived in Yakima where she had a job as a photographer at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation.

They also loved to dance and were long time members of both Tillicum and Owatonna Dance Groups that they joined while in Corvallis.
Marjorie loved being with her family and friends plus traveling and cruising the world with her husband.

She was my kind of girl the first time I met he-although she did NOT feel the same about me.
I was her caregiver and she was picky-- so am I -- I loved her -tried to make her laugh and smile. She was beautiful and loves her Kids.

I think about her and talk to her ask her about heaven and shall never ever forget her- I love you Marjorie
