Marjorie L. Fuller was born May 18, 1922, in Marengo, the daughter of Lester and Hazel (Miller) Slaymaker. While growing up, her family lived for a short time in South Dakota, while her father worked hauling rock from Mt. Rushmore as well as driving wild horses through the Badlands. They later returned to Marengo, where she attended school.
