Marjorie Lou Hirsch was born to Otto and Marie (Hocke) Hirsch on August 25, 1935, in the Waverly area. She moved with her family to Paton in 1936 and later graduated from Paton Consolidated School. On July 12, 1953, she married Harold Alliger at Christ Lutheran, and they made their home on the farm north of Churdan. They became members of Holy Trinity Lutheran in Farnhamville when the two churches merged. Through the years, she was an active member of the church and the ladies' organizations, holding most officer positions locally as well as zone and district offices of LWML.

Marjorie was a homemaker providing for and caring for her family and others. She enjoyed time in the garden, sewing and baking. She began the art of quilting after her children graduated. Cookies, cinnamon rolls, M&Ms, Skittles, and Smarties could always be found in her home.
