Marjorie was baptized at the Christian Church. Her father over the years worked for area farmers so they lived in Shelby and Audubon Counties. Marjorie attended school in Viola Consolidated School, Corley School, Laurel School in Harlan and graduated from the Harlan High School with the Class of 1943. Following graduation Marjorie was employed as a bookkeeper and salesperson at the Gamble Store. During this time she met her future husband Wayne Chambers. On August 15, 1948, she was united in marriage to E. Wayne Chambers at her parents’ home in Harlan, Iowa. They were blessed with four children, Sandra Rae, Ronald, Thomas, and James. They operated the Sparky’s Standard Service Station in partnership with Al Lambertz and Marjorie was the bookkeeper. They operated the Station until 1950 when Marjorie and Wayne started farming. They rented several farms in the Shelby County area until purchasing a farm near Cuppy’s Grove Cemetery and later purchased the farm east of Hamlin, Iowa. Marjorie helped Wayne operate the farms where they grew row crops and raised livestock. She helped with the chores and also raised chickens along with her family. She always had both a large flower and vegetable gardens. Following Wayne’s death on August 4, 1976, Marjorie continued to live on the farm. In 1978, she worked part-time at the ASCS office in Audubon. In 1979, she began working with Ethel Petersen at the Exira Jacobsen Travel Agency in Exira. From 1982 until 1989 Marjorie operated the Jacobsen Travel Agency in Audubon. After the Audubon Agency closed, Marjorie was a tour guide for the Jacobsen Travel Agency in Carroll, Iowa where she lead tours around the world to Europe, New Zealand, Australia, and her favorite Hawaii. After retiring from operating the travel agency in Audubon, Marjorie occasionally enjoyed domestic tours to Branson, Missouri and other areas. Along with her responsibilities with the travel agency she was always involved with the management of the farming operation, which she continued to do until she moved into the Exira Care Center in 2017.
