Marjorie Ann, the daughter of Leo and Bertille (Reinart) Thielen was born on August 3, 1943 at St. Anthony’s Hospital in Carroll, Iowa. She was raised on a farm south of Manning and was taught from an early age to work hard, have good values, and have a strong Catholic faith. Margie graduated from Manning High School in 1961. In 1963 she graduated from Antonian School of Practical Nursing in Carroll.
Marjorie married Wendell “Junior” Feilmeier in 1965, and this friendship of marriage lasted for over 50 years until Wendell’s passing in 2015. Margie worked in nursing most of her career, but returned to school to obtain her Nursing Home Administrative License in 1991. She worked as an administrator several years before returning to her true passion of caring for others. Most of her career was working at St. Anthony Hospital and Nursing Home; where she finished her career by working in the Nursing Home until her retirement.
Margie and Junior loved to travel and took many trips to their favorite areas in the southwest United States, although their favorite area was Estes Park, Colorado. The couple also enjoyed their short road trips and time spent at the casino, and spending part of the winter in Laughlin, Nevada.
