GETTING TO KNOW YOU
MARJORIE WELLS NEWMAN

Marge was born on July 22, 1923 in Deaver, WY to Floyd Harrison Wells and Bernice Palmer. She is a Great Granddaughter of Martha Ann Estes, 5th child of Joel and Patsey Estes.

Marge grew up in Deaver, graduating from high school in 1940. She went on to college and graduated from the University of Wyoming at Laramie in 1944.

She married Keith Newman on November 8, 1947 in Reno, NV.
They have six wonderful children, 3 girls and 3 boys: Jean Marie (Bedord), Neil Eldon, Blair Evan, Ross Lee, Alice Arlene (Sibbitt), and Nancy Anne (Reiber). She has eight grandchildren, but as yet, no great-grandchildren.

Marge has lived in Wyoming and California. Her favorite color is Green, and as she puts it so wonderfully, "for everything that grows!!" She loves to spend her time with family and friends, church activities, and traveling.

Of course her favorite food is beef since she is in the beef business.
She enjoys reading autobiographies and history books, and finds herself reading more now that she has a little more time on her hands.

Congratulations, Marjorie. It is so good seeing you at the reunions and getting to know you...see you in 2014!
