Marjorie Anne (Pederson) Grove of Camrose, Alberta, the only daughter of Orville and Ingeborg Pederson of the Armena District was born on March 3, 1936 in Camrose.  She was raised with five brothers, and attended school in Lake Demay and Svea school. When she was 15 years old she attended Camrose Lutheran College and worked as an aid at St. Mary's Hospital and Rosehaven in Camrose.  

She met the love of her life Lloyd Grove while working at Rosehaven.  She told the story that she told him there were chocolates on "sale" at the local drug store, and later that day, he showed up at work with the chocolates.  70 years later, she still had the box.

On August 6, 1955 she married Lloyd at the church at the Camrose Lutheran College, and together they had two daughters Yvonne in 1960 and Maureen in 1964.  After raising their daughters, Marj and Lloyd started their own business of carpentry and home renovations.  Marj being the book keeper, painter and "jack of all trades" with Lloyd, to many, many people in Camrose.

Marj was known to be the kindest, most thoughtful person to everyone she met.  She would go out of her way to help anyone in anyway she could.  She found the love of painting, drawing and the Oilers.

In 2022, Marj moved from her home after 65 years into Deer Meadows in Camrose.  She loved interacting in all the singing and music programs and visiting with friends and talking about the Oilers.  On March 31, 2025, she passed away at the St. Mary's Hospital in Camrose.
