EDGERTON - Marilyn Joan Majorowicz left this world to be with her husband in God's Kingdom on Dec. 2, 2021. Marilyn, was a longtime resident of Edgerton moving here in 1956.

Marilyn was born on June 20, 1931 in Elk Point, S.D. Second child of Estella (Dobbert) and Edward Peterson. Marilyn's childhood was centered around the Peterson Drug Store in Elk Point. Her responsibilities went from keeping shelves stocked to delivering prescriptions to running the soda fountain on Saturday nights. Marilyn shared many stories of long Saturday nights running the fountain.

Marilyn graduated from Elk Point High School in 1950 and continued her education at Morningside College in Sioux City, Iowa. She received a degree in Primary Education. More notable was her meeting of her fiancé Conard (Jerry) Majorowicz. Marilyn and Jerry were married Dec. 27, 1953. A week before Jerry reported for his service in the Army and serving in Korea.

Marilyn was active in local chapters of Eastern Star, Daughters of the Nile and PEO International. She was recognized for 50 years of service in the organizations.

Marilyn was an in-home childcare provider for 30 years in Edgerton. She was a second mom to many kids. Always a stickler for discipline, all kids received that lesson in life from Marilyn. The children had a lot of fun at Marilyn's house.

Marilyn enjoyed knitting, camping with family and friends, and traveling. Camping trips with the Grandkids were also an adventure. Usually a good one! Pictures of Trips to Europe and Alaska were shared with many. Winters spent in Apache Junction; Ariz. created a new circle of friends.
