She worked for Southwestern Bell as a telephone operator for many years. Her husband started Burch Construction and she helped him in the daily operations of the business.

Marjorie was a direct descendent of the Rogiers (Rogers) family that immigrated to Edinburg from Belgium in the early 1900s. The Rogers family was one of the original settlers in Edinburg and she was very proud to be part of this history.
