Marjorie Helen Biser was born on October 5, 1925 in Elysian, MN to George and Mabel (Duetch) Biser.  She grew up in Elysian and attended school until the age of 16 when her family moved to New Ulm, MN, where she finished high school, graduating with the class of 1943.  After high school she went to telegraph school for a short while before taking a job working for Western Union.

Marjorie was united in marriage to Willard Seifert on July 3, 1946.  The family made their home in Wahpeton where they raised their children.  Marjorie and Willard ran Seifert’s Jewelry for 56 years.  Marjorie would work with customers that came in while Willard would fix watches and work on other jewelry in the back.

Marjorie was a people person and enjoyed having a conversation with everyone she came across.  She enjoyed spending summers with her children at Ottertail Lake.   She loved dancing to waltzes and polkas at the local Eagles Clubs.

Marjorie is survived by her six children: Bill (Penny) Seifert, Wahpeton; Robert and Tom Seifert, both of Wahpeton; Jane (Ron) Heiderscheid, Wahpeton; Barbara (Pete) Lucas, Great Falls, MT; and Nancy (Don "Curly") Hardyman, Helena, MT; eight grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents, George and Mabel; her husband, Willard; and a brother, Gerald Biser.

A special thank you to the doctors and caregivers at CHI St. Francis Healthcare for  the wonderful care they gave to our mother.
