She proudly held the office of President for the Legal Secretaries Association.

At home, she enjoyed sewing, flower arranging, and playing the piano for pleasure as well as for the church. Her love for flowers and nature encouraged her to pursue painting.

Marjetta was an amazing baker and cook. She won the Holtville Carrot Cooking Contest Sweepstakes prize in 1965.
