Marjorie Ann (Montgomery) Waddell of Louisburg, KS passed away peacefully on March 27th, 2021 at the Good Samaritan Society – Olathe, Kansas.  By her request, a private celebration of life memorial will be held for immediate family.

Born November 30, 1949 in Monmouth, IL, Marjorie was the oldest of six siblings. She graduated from Monmouth High School and then Western Illinois University with a degree in Biology.  She eventually earned her MBA while working full time and pursuing her personal goals.  She used her education to build a successful career in purchasing and worked for large pharmaceutical and animal health companies like Bayer, Boehringer Ingelheim and eventually Pfizer in Lincoln, NE.

Marjorie was a very hard working, caring individual that loved nature, animals, and Native American culture.  She was a selfless giver and never asked for anything in return.  She enjoyed providing her sons, grandchildren, nieces and nephews little gifts, novelties, that always showed she was thinking of them and loved them dearly.
