Marjorie was born
June 12, 1918 in Chicago, Illinois to Edward and Ann (Lloyd)
Frankland. She worked as a dancer and had the privilege to
perform with many show business greats including Bing
Crosby, Bob Hope, Danny Thomas, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis.
Marjorie married the late Gilbert Check in 1940 in Chicago,
Illinois and went on to have 3 children. She later worked
for Reuben-Donneley until retirement.
Marjorie happily
filled her retired years with playing golf, gardening,
creative cooking, painting, and pursuing arts and crafts. In
her later years she lived with her son, Gib and his wife,
Ruth in Cottonville. Here she continued to enjoy the company
of family and friends amidst the natural beauty of
Roche-A-Cri Lake. In February of 2005 Marjorie moved to
Villa Pines Living Center, where the staff enjoyed her
naturally upbeat spirit and her unfailingly great sense of
humor.
What she
cherished most in life was loving her family
Marjorie was
preceded in death by her parents, brother, Edward (during
the D-Day invasion); and sister, Betty.
