Marjorie was born October 14, 1926 in Savage, MT to James and Beatrice (Cummings) Mitchell. She attended school in Savage and was a member of 4-H. She met the love of her life, Perl Redding, while attending Savage High School. They married in 1946 and moved to Sidney. During her first years in Sidney, she worked at the Malt Shop and at the Bowling Alley. She would tell of a dog that would come every night when she got off work and walk her home. In 1958, when daughter Rita was born she became a house wife. Marjorie loved going camping all over with her family, and was a member of the Good Sam’s Club. Often they would also take her niece, Tami, who was like another daughter to her, along on their many camping trips. She also loved baking and cooking, she was well known for her famous brownies and homemade pickles. Other great interests included sewing, dancing, spending time with family, and growing flowers. She had a real green thumb. In 1990 Perl passed away, and she later married Arnold Larsen in 1995. They moved to a house in town and they attended Pella Lutheran Church, and loved having coffee and playing “10,000” with friends and family.
Marjorie was a beautiful and loving person who always had a smile and loved her whole huge family and everyone she met. She’d do anything to lend a hand and everyone was welcome in her home. She will be greatly missed by many!
