She later received her Bachelor of Science Degree in Education from Wisconsin State College, La Crosse, on June 25, 1958. Marjory taught elementary school in Wisconsin and California. She married Ralph W. Olson in Reno, Nevada on October 7, 1961. They lived in California until the summer of 1976 when they returned to Wisconsin to live on Marjory's home farm while their new home near La Crosse was being built. Marjory then worked at the UW - La Crosse bookstore and cared for her elderly parents until their deaths.

Being an only child, Marjory was survived by brother-in-law, Earland Sagen, sister-in-law, JoAnn Thrun, nieces, nephews, and numerous cousins. She was preceded in death by her husband, Ralph, and her parents, Joy and Lester. She will be greatly missed.
