She enjoyed fishing on the local lakes, in Canada, and at the Missouri River. She also enjoyed attending horse and dog racing events and family members sporting events. In later years, Marjorie liked playing lottery scratch tickets, "investing" at the casinos, putting jigsaw puzzles together and watching the Minnesota Twins and Vikings games on TV.
