Steve Erickson joined the family in 1976.  John was Margery’s “Special Angel”.  They enjoyed the mountains together and each other.  After John’s passing, she went on to marry Clarence “Woody” Woodard, which brought in an extended family that she loved very much.

Marjery loved to dance and watch old movies.  She spent the last six years of her life at the Saratoga Care Center in Saratoga, Wyoming where she was watched over daily by her loving daughter, Kathy Jo.
