A Graveside Service for Marjorie Young will be held on Monday, November 16, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at the Stamford Cemetery in Stamford, Nebraska with Mr. David Hunt officiating.

Marjorie Eileen (Culver) Young, 104, of Stamford, Nebraska, peacefully passed away the evening of October 31, 2026, surrounded by loved ones, following a long, full, and abundant life.

Marge, as she was affectionately known, was born on February 13, 1922, to George and Selma Culver, in the Culver family farmhouse, as the second child and eldest daughter of 3. Marge grew up on the family farm and after graduating High School, attended college in Colorado, where she studied to become a secretary.

After a year of study, and not desiring the profession, Marjorie returned home to the farm. Before long, her father encouraged her to venture to California to be near her uncle Claude Clarine, for new opportunities. It was in California, when Marjorie began working as a nanny, a role that suited her naturally loving and caring spirit.

It was here, in the Bay Area of California, that Marjorie met and fell for William Horn. The two were married in 1940 and were blessed with three children: Billie Jean, Eddie, and Elizabeth.

Following William’s passing in March of 1967, Marjorie remained a widow and completed building the home she and Bill had started. In time, her life began a new chapter when she met Elvin Young. The two were married in 1969, joining their families together. Through their marriage, Marjorie became a stepmother to Elvin’s five children: Sue, Wanda, Nancy, Frank, and Shirley.

After Elvin’s passing in 1983, Marjorie continued to live a life centered on love, family, faith, and caring for others. She lovingly cared for both her father and mother until their passing, demonstrating the devotion to family that remained one of the defining qualities of her life.

Marge found happiness in life’s simple and meaningful pleasures. She had a special place in her heart for the neighborhood animals and enjoyed writing letters to family and friends, sewing, working puzzles, and reading her Bible each day. Her letters kept her connected to the people she loved, while her daily Bible reading reflected the faith that accompanied her throughout her life.

Over the course of 104 remarkable years, Marjorie experienced a world of change, yet the things she valued most remained constant: faith, family, kindness, and caring for others. She will be remembered for her loving nature, her devotion to those around her, and the many lives she’s touched across generations.

Marjorie leaves behind a legacy not simply measured in years, but in the family she loved, the people she cared for, the friendships she nurtured, and the memories she created during a life extraordinarily well lived.
