Marie loved to dance and met a special person, Waimer Olson, while dancing one night. The two didn't dance, but they talked instead. He didn't dance, but later surprised her by asking her to a dance after his mother taught him how. Waimer saved pennies to buy the $2.00 marriage license and paid for it in pennies too! In 1942, their son was born and what a joy it was for them until Waimer was drafted and left for war. The government paid Marie $80 a month which she couldn't make it on and went back to work. "Time was long, like the war would never end… and scary, many killed." She looked forward to him coming home, but when he came home, he was a different person. Still, she loved him. They lived in Waseca and moved to the farm for peace and quiet for him. Marie worked as hard as he did on the farm. In 1987, they moved to Ellendale and found that people cared there and friendships blossomed. Each visitor of Marie's was coaxed into seeing pictures of each grandchild.
