& Rehab.
Marjorie Hilda Hansen
was born March 6, 1932,
the daughter of Elmer and
Florinda (Bowen) Hansen,
in Ryder, ND. She was
raised and educated in
Ryder. She enjoyed shar-
ing stories of going out to
the field to get the cows,
and being stormed in at
the school her sister, Ar-
lene, taught at. Marjorie
enjoyed caring for her
nieces and nephews while
still living at home. She
was a nanny for a period
of time in Montana, and
this experience carried
over into her later caring
for her own children,
grandchildren and great-
grandchildren.
Marjorie was united in
marriage to Rueben “Doc”
Dockter on June 9, 1954.
They made their home in
Minot, where they raised
their five children. Mar-
jorie was a homemaker
and also owned and
operated Superior Clean-
ing from 1982-1986. She
loved living out in East
Side Estates, where she
enjoyed gardening and
feeding any and all things
that would show up in the
yard (both 2 and 4
legged).
Marjorie loved the holi-
days, when the family
would get together and
she would get to use her
china and decorate. She
enjoyed singing Christian
hymns with her sisters
over the years and playing
the piano at home. She
was quick witted and had
many a comeback that
would often surprise you.
Marjorie always signed all
of her cards with, “Jesus
loves you, and so do I.”
