Marjie Junek, Belle Fourche, died December 10 after a brave, 14-month battle with cancer.

She was born Marjorie Anne Hollister on October 25, 1931 at Buffalo, SD to Ed and Lucille (Chambers) Hollister. She grew up on her family’s ranch in Harding County, attended a country school, and graduated from Newell High School in 1949. As a young woman she obtained teaching certification at Black Hills Teachers College, taught at several country schools, and was also employed in retail and customer service jobs in Rapid City.

She married her husband on June 8, 1955. The couple ranched in Harding County for more than 50 years. Marjie worked hard at housework inside and ranch work outside. The Juneks had three children – Marjie was happiest serving others, including her children, neighbors in need, or the community through church and other organizations. Friends and family remember her flowers and her vast vegetable gardens that yielded produce for annual canning projects. Often her jellies and other canned goods were given away as gifts and enjoyed by many. She loved music and enjoyed singing in church choirs over the years.

She traveled to all sections of the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii, and to Europe and through the Panama Canal. In 2006 they sold the ranch and moved to an acreage south of Belle Fourche.

Marjie was preceded in death by her parents, sister Fay Hollister, and infant sister Jeanne Hollister.

Memorials may be directed to Hospice of the Northern Hills, and Feeding South Dakota.
