Marjorie M Wolfe (nee Poersch) was born in 1923 at Brunkild, MB. She attended Winnipeg Normal School and then moved to the Tarbolton area in the RM of Daly in the 1940s to take a job at the local school. While in Tarbolton she met local farmer Edward Emerson Wolfe (1921-2003). Together they had four children: Dwight, Carol, Reed and Warren. Marjorie and Edward lived on the family farm for 55 years, before Edward's health necessitated the couple move to Brandon. During the 1980s and early 1990s, Marjorie wrote the Tarbolton News column for the Rivers Gazette Reporter.
