Marjory was born on May 30, 1947, in Osage, Iowa, the daughter of Harold and Verna (Plath) Hartwig of St. Ansgar, Iowa. She graduated from St. Ansgar High School in 1965. Her favorite part of high school was band, playing the clarinet and then the bass clarinet.

After high school she worked at the Marr Knitting Mill in Osage, Iowa. In 1966 she moved to Mason City, Iowa. She worked at Arlan’s Discount Department store, Target, and North Iowa Community Action. She also was a “Secret Shopper” for many years and an Independent Sales Representative for several companies and working with a number of stores in Mason City and the North Iowa area.

On April 19, 1972, Marjory was united into marriage to Delmer D. Daniels at Immanuel Lutheran Church in St. Ansgar, Iowa. The couple made their home in Mason City, Iowa, where they were truly blessed with two daughters, Stacy and Wendy. Marjory loved her “miracles” and was the best mother anyone could ask for. In 2007 she was blessed with her granddaughter Cadence, and in 2011 her grandson Brady, they were her world. She cherished every moment with them and loved watching them grow in all of their activities. She treasured all of the mini vacations to the zoos and other adventures they would enjoy together. They were the twinkle in her eye of a very proud grandma. After Delmer’s passing she decided to buy a new bass clarinet and join the New Horizons Band at Music Man Square, where she played with such joy and passion in 2007-2014.

She loved camping, fishing, sewing, crafting, reading, listening to music and loved to play the bass clarinet. She also enjoyed dining out and visiting with family and friends, shopping and finding the good deal. Marjory was a member of Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Mason City for 43 years where she served on several committees and boards. She was a member of LWML and Miriam Circle, Church Choir and Christian Women’s Group. She loved her Lord and her church family.

Marjory is survived by her devoted and loving daughters, Stacy (Dawayne) Charlson, and Wendy (Chris) Rish; two grandchildren, Cadence and Brady Rish, all of Mason City; three brothers, Gary (Jean) Hartwig, and David (Sue) Hartwig, both of Northwood, and Duane (Jeanne) Hartwig, of Waverly; and her in-laws, Janice (Gary) Rinnels, and Galen (Ronda) Daniels, both of Ackley; many nieces, nephews, cousins, specials friends.
