Marjorie Janet (Wentz) Olson was born on October 28, 1932 at home on her parents, John and Veronica (Busch) Wentz, farm near Esmond, North Dakota. She died at the age of 88 years on Friday, November 27, 2020 at the Heart of America Care Center in Rugby, North Dakota. When Marjorie was 3, her parents moved to a farm near Berwick, North Dakota where she and her siblings attended school at Oppen’s Corner. At the age of 10, her family moved to Edmore and a year later moved to a farm near Starkweather. On September 9, 1952, she was united in marriage to Donald LeRoy Olson in Devils Lake. The couple lived a short time in Devils Lake and in 1956, they moved to White Hall, Montana, where Don worked as a miner in the copper mines They lived there briefly until moving to Butte, Montana, which is where the mine was located. North Dakota was calling them back, so they lived a couple of places before moving to Rugby. In Rugby, Marjorie took the job as pastry chef at the Hanbury Café…no one could make a better pie than Marge! In 1971, they bought a farm just south of Balta and they started milking cows and farming small grains. They seemed to have found their true calling as they milked as the herd grew to around 75 cows. Marjorie would use her skills to do whatever was needed to get things done; from being a great wife, mother, housekeeper, gardener, caning goodies, along with the yard work. Marge hated dandelions and would spend hours in the yard digging them out. She helped in the fields and ran for parts along with all those other crazy jobs that are called upon as a farm wife. You could find both Don and Marge out in the barn every morning and night, as a team. She was known for her pies and pastry’s, but her fried chicken and homemade borscht soup were to die for. Almost every holiday was held at the farm and no one ever went away hungry. Marjorie loved to read, as her family knows, she has read over a thousand books and kept the Rugby Library busy. She also loved to do embroidery work. She was a devoted Catholic and taught her children from an early age how important the need for faith in Our Lord Jesus was.
