Read More	Marjorie Eleanor Pierce was born on March 19, 1922, to Arthur C. and Jennie Marie (Gustafson) Newquist and passed from this life on March 11, 2012. Marjorie was born at home on a farm near Sumner and, aside from her college years, she spent her life living in the Sumner area. Marjorie graduated from high school in 1940 and attended Kearney State College to get her teaching certificate. Marjorie taught at a rural school near Sumner and in the Sumner school for seven years and after marrying taught for two more years. On June 4, 1948 Marjorie married Robert Pierce. They lived in a little house on the end of the main street in Sumner for 63 years. They filled that house with six children and Marjorie enjoyed entertaining her 18 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren there. Her cooking was something to relish and many did as her generosity was only limited by the number of people she could squeeze into the house. Many people enjoyed her hospitality and remember her dinner table fondly. She was faithful in sending cards and letters to family and friends for special occasions. Robert was Sumner's Postmaster from 1958 to 1989 and Robert and Marjorie farmed with Marjorie's parents for many years. Robert was surprised at how handy Marjorie was on the farm. She did everything from irrigating to mowing the lawn, and after her brother, Clifford, moved into the farm house she kept the farm house and her own house spotless. Only in her last few months did she allow others to do things for her even though she would much rather do for others. Marjorie took great pleasure in the activities of the Church in Sumner and served in many capacities including Sunday School teacher, Sunday School Superintendent, Church pianist, Women's Ministries, and Bible School teacher. Marjorie was a member of the Park Valley Aid Society, gave piano lessons, and meticulously kept scrapbooks detailing every notable event in the family and community. Marjorie was family oriented and had no ambition but to teach her children, encourage her grandchildren and enjoy her great-grandchildren with every fiber of her being. Marjorie has sisters, Mildred Newquist who lives in Lexington, NE and Dorothy Burckart who lives in Watertown, Wisconsin. Marjorie was preceded in death by brothers, Clifford Newquist of Lexington, NE and Clarence Newquist of Pataskala, Ohio, brother-in-law Edward Burckart and sister-in-law Helen Newquist. She was also preceded in death by her parents, grandson, Joshua Mark Pierce of Miller, NE, and many beloved family members who are greeting her in Heaven. Marjorie is survived by: husband of 63 years, Robert Pierce of Sumner, and six children, eighteen grandchildren and five great-grandchildren and their families.
