Marjorie Elaine (Jorgenson) Fenhaus, passed away on June 18, 2022, which was her 88th birthday. She was the last surviving of her family of 5 brothers and 2 sisters. Marjorie was born on June 18, 1934 in Summit, South Dakota. She married on January 15, 1955 to Fonton Fenhaus, who had just begun his career in the United States Air Force. With a new baby born in 1956, Reed, their marriage adventure took them to Morocco, Africa, a 2-year duty assignment. A few years later, Marjorie's strength and independence helped her raise Reed, as Fonton's deployment to Guam and then to Vietnam in 1966-1968. The Fenhaus family was next stationed in the Netherlands for 4 memorable years. Upon their return to the States, they settled in Rapid City, SD, where Fonton was a native South Dakotan. Marjorie worked for the Merchant Police during the June 9, 1972 Rapid City Flood, as a police dispatcher. Fonton retired from the U. S. Air Force as a Vietnam and Korean War Veteran. For the next 50 years, Marjorie and Fonton enjoyed their lives with month-long vacations in Hawaii and Florida at Reed and Joyce's home. Marjorie was a faithful servant of the Lord and consistently read and studied her Bible, attended church and shared God's word with others. Marjorie was an outstanding cook and had the gift of gardening. She was a very talented painter and created many China ceramics and paintings for which she won numerous ribbons and at the county fair. She was truly an inspiration to all those she encountered and was always filled with a caring, giving, positive, and loving spirit. Grateful for having shared her life is her husband of 67 years, Fonton; her son, Reed and daughter-in-law, Joyce. She will be truly missed by everyone in her life on this earth, but will be reunited with her loved ones when we see her in Heaven.
