Marjorie Mae (Kerr) Hamme, the daughter of Kenneth and Joyce (Turner) Kerr, was born on the family farm in Fayette County, Iowa, near Postville. She was baptized and confirmed at the Community Presbyterian Church in Postville. Marjorie graduated from Postville High School in 1946. She attended college at the University of Dubuque, University of Iowa, and Winthrop College in Rock Hill, South Carolina. Marjorie was united in marriage with Roger Ayers on November 9, 1948 and was later divorced. Two sons, Gilbert and LeRoy were born to this union. She was then united in marriage with Edwin Hamme on January 17, 1967 in Rock Hill, South Carolina. Marjorie worked in the chemical laboratory for Celanese Corporation in Rock Hill, South Carolina. After five years of working swing shifts in the lab, Marjorie quit for a few months. She was then rehired by Celanese to work in their office in Charlotte, North Carolina. In 1985, she took an early retirement and moved with Ed to the Wilmington, North Carolina area to be close to Ed’s family. She didn’t like sitting around, so she ended up with a full-time job with the New Hanover County Building Inspection Department. After Ed’s health started to fail in 1990, Marjorie stopped working. She and Ed took a cruise to Bermuda in May of 1990 and he passed away in January of 1991. Marjorie moved back to Iowa in 1994.
