Marge was the fourth of five children. She grew up on the family farm and graduated from Klamath Union High School in 1940. She married Franklin Michaelson on February 24, 1946. Frank had served in the Army Air Corps during World War II, and was honorably discharged in 1946. Frank and Marge had four sons; John in 1948; twins Tom and Terry in 1950; and Scott in 1956. All four boys were born in Klamath Falls.

In 1956, the family moved to Lakeview, Oregon. In 1957, they moved to Dinuba, CA, where Frank took a job with Security First National Bank. The family lived for a short time in Dinuba before moving to Coalinga, CA, where Frank was assistant manager from 1958-63.

In 1963, the family returned to Dinuba where Frank was branch manager for Security Pacific Bank. Marge was a homemaker and, when the boys were older, she worked for Alta Hospital. Upon Franks retirement from banking, he and Marge moved to Nampa, ID in order to be closer to family. Frank passed away in 2007. Marge remained living in Nampa until shortly prior to her death.

Marge was a strong woman of faith, attending Baptist churches until moving to Idaho, where she attended Nampa First Church of the Nazarene. She became active in the Century Club. She enjoyed gardening, knitting, cooking and socializing with friends, neighbors and family. Marge especially loved music, particularly if performed by her kids or grandkids.
