Marjorie was raised in the Lyman, Iowa area. In 1950, she graduated from Griswold High School and began working at Houghton State Bank in Red Oak, until her marriage. On December 6, 1958, Marjorie was united in marriage to James Miller at St. John's Church near Lyman. They made their home in rural Stanton where Marjorie was a homemaker while the children lived at home.

Marjorie enjoyed collecting dishes, reading, listening to and playing music. She served many years as the church pianist and organist for Tabor Lutheran Church at Wallin. In retirement, Marjorie and James loved traveling with bus tours, making trips to all the states except Florida. Her favorite trips however, were the trips to Branson, Missouri.
