Marjean Marie Haberling was born October 10, 1937, in Faulkton, South Dakota, to Fred and Katherine (Neu) Haberling.  She attended grade school and high school in Miller, SD, graduating in 1955.

Marjean and Tom were married on October 10, 1955, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Miller.  They began their life together helping her parents on the family farm.  Work took them to Denver, Colorado, where Marjean worked for a life insurance company.  In March of 1956, they moved back to the family farm in Orient, SD. In 1964, they had the opportunity to purchase the family farm from Marjean’s parents.  Marjean and Tom raised their children together and created many memories on the farm.  In 1977, the family moved to Gillette, WY, where she worked for the News Record for 20 years, retiring in 1999.

Marjean enjoyed retirement, traveling to the lower 48 states, Alaska, and Canada. She played and coached softball for over 30 years, both in South Dakota and Wyoming. In 1995, she was inducted into the Wyoming softball hall of fame. Marjean’s greatest joy in life was her family and attending the activities of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

Marjean’s life will be treasured by her husband, Tom, of 69 years; four children: Mike (Bev) Rogers, Redfield, Rex (Mary) Rogers, Ashton IA, Kenny (Jo) Rogers, Gillette WY, and Pam (Sean) Swindell, Tennessee; nine grandchildren: Michelle (Jason) Binger, Karissa Rogers, Lisa (Mike) Molettiere, Jessica (MacKenzie) Swartz, Sara (Brady) Scherer, Kyle (Cyndi) Rogers, Garrett (Samantha) Rogers, Chris (Angel) Good, and Trevor (Monica) Good; 20 great grandchildren; brother-in-law, Rob Rogers; sister-in-law, Thelma Rogers; many friends, nieces, nephews and cousins.
