Marjorie May Moeller was born on May 2, 1925 in Ireton, Iowa, the daughter of John and Rose (Johnson) Moeller. She was baptized and confirmed at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Ireton. She attended school in Ireton and graduated from Ireton High School in 1942.

She was united in marriage to John Leon Conover on December 25, 1942, at the Methodist parsonage in Le Mars. She moved with John while he was serving in the United States Army. After his deployment overseas, she lived with her parents in Ireton.
Following his honorable discharge in March of 1946, they lived in Bemidji, Minnesota. In 1947, they moved to Le Mars. Marg was a homemaker for her family. John passed away December 27, 2006. In 2015, she moved to Park Place Estates in Le Mars. In August of 2017, she became a resident of Plymouth Manor in Le Mars.

She was a longtime member of the United Methodist Church of Le Mars where she was the funeral lunch chair for many years and was active in the church circle. She also served as Cub Scout leader for many years. Through the years, Marg enjoyed bowling, playing cards, having coffee with friends, and entertaining family and friends. She loved going to garage sales in hopes of finding that perfect treasure or antique. She also enjoyed decorating her home for the holidays. For many years, she would travel to California to visit her brother and his family. But most of all, she loved being with her family, especially her two grandchildren and four great grandchildren.
