Marjorie Ogren Jamieson

Marjorie Ogren Jamieson was in the home of her daughter and surrounded by family when she took her final breath at 9:33pm on Sunday, February 18. She was predeceased by: parents, Charles Richard Ogren and Pearl Florence Hokanson Wiley; brother, Lowell Richard Ogren (Erna K Ogren); husband of 60 years, Richard N Jamieson; and sister-in-law, Joanne J Foght. Marjorie will be remembered for the many volunteer leadership roles she undertook in the Twin Cities community; She was president of The Guthrie Stagehands, the Edina, Morningside, and St. Louis Park Women's Clubs, The Swedish Institute Associates, her local P.E.O. Chapter DG and Minnesota State P.E.O. She was an active Edina Band Booster and Edina Morningside Linden Hills church member in women's fellowship, a lay speaker and reader, and church moderator. Happy to drink coffee with anyone, making it was not her forte. A personal achievement was graduating Valedictorian of North Branch High School in 1947. Learning was a passion she pursued through classes at the U of M and later The College of St. Thomas. She left the family farm and her position at the North Branch Farm Bureau and ventured into the city. She lived at Mabeth Paige Hall, at the time, a women only residence in downtown Minneapolis while she worked for Dr. Winston Lindberg and, later, at Pillsbury Mills as an executive secretary for Mr. Brabender of Germany. While raising her family she took night classes at the U of M and worked at Control Data. She and her husband formed their audio visual company, Jamieson & Associates and AVSense Productions, which she managed for over 40 years. She also worked part-time for Dayton's Bridal, where she was encouraged to start her own wedding consultant business, The Social Secretary, serving local and celebrity brides and grooms before wedding consultants were popular. Marjorie was the go-to person for any family member who needed any document edited, spell-checked and proofread. Always a reader, especially of the daily StarTribune, she was an information junkie. If you had an interest or if she found an article of particular importance, Margie would clip it and mail it to you. She wrote lovely long letters and beautiful thank you notes, and was actively using technology well into her 80s. She lived a life filled with gratitude and attitude. She loved hearts, frogs, rocks and, most of all, her family and friends. She lived in community and the mystery of life. Survived by daughter Nancy Jamieson (Brian Kidwell); son, Richard S Jamieson (Tammy); grandchildren, Jamieson Cash, Elizabeth Cash (Hayden Leach), Charles Jamieson, Sophia Jamieson, niece, Robin Briney (Bruce), nephews, Jamieson Foght (Jamie) and Eric Foght (Leona.) And many P.E.O. Sisters, friends and dear neighbors. We wish to thank the team at Mount Olivet Day Program, Mount Olivet Home, Mount Olivet Careview and the hospice team at Accent Care Fairview. Because of the excellent care they provided Marjorie was able to enjoy life until she finally passed away, knowing she mattered and was dearly loved. A Celebration of Life will take place on Saturday, March 16 (visitation at 10 am, 11 am service followed by a luncheon) at Edina Morningside Linden Hills UCC Church, 4201 Morningside Road, Edina. Memorials preferred to MN PEO Home Fund, Second Harvest Heartland or a charity of your choice.
