Marjorie Augusta Anderson was born on March 10, 1923, in rural Delhi to Fred and Laura (Radke) Kuck.  She was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran faith at First English Lutheran Church in Redwood Falls.  She grew up on the family farm and attended country school in Delhi Township.  Margie graduated as salutatorian of her class from Belview High School.  She attended Waldorf college for two years.  On October 21, 1944, she married Franklin V. Anderson in a double wedding ceremony with her sister Doris and Franz Hoppenrath at the First English Lutheran Church in Redwood Falls.  Both grooms returned to military service after the wedding.  After Franklin’s discharge from the service in 1946, Margie and Franklin lived and farmed near Belview for over 60 years.  They were blessed with one son, Bradley.  Margie was an active member of Grace Lutheran Church and participated in Bible Studies, Ladies Aid, and many volunteer activities.  She was also an active member of the Belview Legion Auxiliary for many years.  Margie always had a big garden and she loved canning and freezing the produce.  She was an excellent cook and loved to bake.  Hired hands on the farm enjoyed the added benefit of Margie’s warm and hearty meals for dinner and supper.  She was very artistic and enjoyed painting and doing needlework.  Other hobbies included reading and word-find puzzles.  She was a social person and enjoyed card parties and dinners out with family and friends.  Margie entered Parkview Home in 2016 and was always appreciative of the great food and excellent care that she received there. Thank you to the dedicated staff at Parkview.
