(Freeburn) Robertson at her lifelong home on Falling Springs Road north of Pomeroy. She rode her Shetland pony, Decker, to school every day. It was only a mile and it hardly ever rains or snows at Falling Springs, but still. Marjorie lost her father when she was 12 and life became a little more difficult. She eventually moved into town to live with her grandparents to attend high school. High school was a wonderful time for Marjorie. She was one of five first-cousins in one class, all of whom were good friends. She participated in many activities, including being a majorette. She graduated in 1940 and went on to attend Washington State College for a year before transferring to Eastern State College, where her high school boyfriend, Marston, was on the track team. (Marston was the fastest high school miler in the nation in 1940 at 4:24.) Marjorie and Marston married on Feb. 13, 1943. Marston enlisted in the U.S. Army and they spent the next two years in Olympia while he was stationed at Camp Lewis and Marjorie worked at the capitol in the licensing department. They returned to Marjorie's childhood home in 1945 to farm on the Freeburn family farm. Mom truly loved the simple things in life. She was happiest surrounded by family and friends — the door was always open to anyone who stopped by to visit. She loved working in her yard, crocheting afghans, embroidery, cross-stitch, and ceramics. "Papa" and "Nana" attended many WSU football and basketball games through the years, as well as their grandchildren and great-grandchildren's school activities. Nana had the biggest heart of anyone we know and never had a single unkind word about anyone in 100 years. She always made time to teach us how to cook and bake (she was the best), chats that always resulted in laughter with her infectious giggle, spontaneous shopping trips, and playing games with her grandchildren. We were blessed to have her as our mom, nana, and aunt, and she will live on in all of us for the rest of our lives. She was a member of the Pomeroy United Methodist Church, United Methodist Women's Society, taught Sunday school, and sang in the church choir for many years. She was a member of Eastern Star and P.E.O. and was active in the local cancer group in her earlier years. Survivors names omitted per findagrave policy Marjorie was preceded in death by her husband of 76 years, Marston; his brother, Wes, and wife, Marian; his sister, Janice, and husband Jack Dorman; nephew Nicholas; and brother Billie Robertson.
