Marjorie Syphert, Resident of the Month Marjorie was born on July 25, 1941, to Willard and Carlene House of Bolivar. Marjorie had two siblings; an older sister, Mary Ellen, and a younger brother, Virgil Kenneth. Growing up, she loved animals and always had pets. Marjorie recalls one incident where she took her rabbit to school for show-and-tell. Most of her school years were spent in Bolivar at Star Ridge Polk County school. However, when she was 15 years old, Marjorie and her family moved to California, while her father was looked for work. It wasn’t long before they returned to Bolivar. While living California, Marjorie’s sister Marjorie Syphert met her husband. After they married, Mary Ellen and her husband stayed in California. Marjorie laughs as she remembers a comment made by her father about making, “one too many trips to California!” Upon returning to Bolivar, Marjorie and her high school sweetheart, Vern, reconnected. He waited for her to return, and after years of dating the couple were married. During their years together, couple was been blessed with two children. During their summers off, Vern, Marjorie and their kids loved to travel to Silver Dollar City or visit the different fairs in Springfield. Over the years, Marjorie has been blessed with five grandchildren, several great grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren. In April 2014 Marjorie joined the CMHCF family. She enjoys visiting with her friends, playing Bingo, attending Red Hat Tea and going to Bible study. She likes the idea of putting a garden in at CMHCF because she had one at home, and is especially looking forward to eating the potatoes she has helped to grow. Her favorite foods here are the meatloaf and all the wonderful cream pies Sarah makes. Congratulations to Marjorie for being selected as CMHCF’s Resident of the Month for June!
