Margery Ann Skovlund was born on August 19, 1945, to Eddie and Lenora (Hansen) Meisenheimer in Brookings, South Dakota.  She spent her youth growing up in the Brookings and White area, attending country school.

On January 20, 1964, she was united in marriage to Adolph Skovlund in Pipestone, Minnesota, and on July 6, 1964, the couple welcomed their daughter, Dawn.  Following Dawn's birth, the couple farmed north of White with family, and also milked dairy cows.

When Adolph and Margery retired from farming, Margery began working as a housekeeper at the Staurolite Inn in Brookings.  She later became the head of laundry for the White Care Center when it opened in White, working there for over 30 years where she retired due to her health.

Margery enjoyed completing crossword puzzles and working on crafts in her free time.  She also loved being outdoors where she could watch birds and garden.
