Marjorie M. Christensen
September 5, 2010
She was born on November 20, 1923 in rural Boelus, Nebraska to Frank and Ethel (Jacobsen) Frandsen. Growing up there, she graduated from high school in Dannebrog, Nebraska in 1941. She also graduated from St. Paul Business College in St. Paul, Nebraska. Marge worked as a stenographer in the Howard County courthouse.
On March 28, 1946, she was married to Max Christensen in Dannebrog, and they have celebrated their 64th anniversary. They lived on a farm west of Dannebrog where Marge worked alongside her husband, doing all those chores most farm wives find themselves doing. Marge and Max moved to Fremont in 1991.
When living near Dannebrog, she was active in St. Peders Lutheran Church near Nysted, Nebraska. In Fremont she has been active in First Lutheran Church. Whatever Marge did, it had to be done right. She was an excellent seamstress, she was particular about the things she baked, and she was an avid card player.
