Marjorie Ingram, the daughter of Harry and Elizabeth (Clayton) Ingram, was born on December 14, 1921, in Defiance, Iowa. She attended Defiance schools through the tenth grade. On June 25, 1945, Marjorie married Wilbert Henry “Webb” Schraiter in Council Bluffs, Iowa. The couple farmed most of their married life until their move to Millard, Nebraska, where they both worked for the Millard School system. Following Webb’s death on August 11, 1980, in Omaha, Marjorie remained in her home until she went to live with her daughter, Connie, in 2005. Most recently, she had become a resident of a care center.

Marjorie played music in the LaVista (Nebraska) Old Timers band, and she enjoyed attending country music festivals with her daughter, Joan. She will be fondly remembered for her Navy bean soup.
