Ms Mackle's obituary does not mention her triplet daughters. They were born and died in August 1940 and are entombed with her: Marie Diane, Marie Ann [named for the babies' aunt Marie Ann Carter], and Marie Louise. In 1940, triplets were unusual enough that newspaper articles were written about the girls. It is almost impossible to find information on Marjorie herself.

Her sister Marie Ann Carter died 6 months later. This is a bit unusual, as the customary entombment wait is one year and one day.
