Mary Ann, from looking at the tombstone photo, I do not believe that Marjorie is deceased. There is no date engraved, which may indicate a tombstone purchase before a person's death. I then looked for vital records, obituaries, assessor and probate records and located the fact that she is the current owner of her home in East Alton, Illinois. She has a telephone listed in her name. I also located her brother's obituary in 2013 which said that she was the surviving sister. I also located Marjorie's husband's obituary. Hope this helps.
