They were united in marriage on May 8, 1954, at First Presbyterian Church, Davenport. Marj worked at Genesis in the radiology department for 22 years, where she met a great group of friends, “the dinosaurs.” Marj enjoyed golfing, bowling, playing cards, and most of all, dancing with Jack. Marj also loved and cherished her family.
