Marjorie Likely

In loving memory of Marjorie Ester Likely who entered into heaven's gates on September 2, 2013 at Landmark nursing home where she had resided for the last 3 years. Marjorie was born in Mobridge, South Dakota on June 17, 1927. She was preceded in death by her lovingparents, August and Matilda Geise, and her husband, Elvis. She is survived by: her brother, Gordon A. Geise (Wanda), her two daughters, Linda Arenson (Doug) and Vicki Fulton (Ronnie), her five grandchildren, Dusty Arenson (Christy), Kim Carter (Nigel), Mindie Modine, April Brown (Skylar), and Nick Fulton (Heather). She also has 7 great-grandchildren, Braelyn Carter, Jamyn Carter, Riley Modine, Teigan Carter, Cormac Arenson, Kaidence Brown, and Alexis Modine, and two nephews, and a niece, Curtis Geise, Gordon Ray Geise, and Pam Hutton. She had a number of interests and passions which she passed on to her family. She doted on her grandchildren as well as her roses and lilacs in equal measure. She was a lover of the arts, music and dance in particular. As a young lady, she would get dolled up and go out dancing every weekend. She even had special shoes used only for dance that she held onto until the end. Marjorie was one of the original Trekkies and loved to watch her sci-fi shows as well as game shows like the Wheel of Fortune. She treasured a good book and enjoyed watching the horses race on Saturdays. Marjorie had a significant and lasting impact on the lives of all around her, and she will be greatly missed. She was, and is, loved and cherished. We know she is waiting for us on that day when we will all be together again. The seasons turned the days grew long mine have gone Weep not for me shed not a tear my day is no longer drear The scent of flowers surround me now Every rose mine to hold Christ's arms now enfold With Him I am dancing now you see with my good Lord I shall be I am free A memorial service will be held graveside at West Hills Cemetery on Friday September 13 at 1pm.
