Marge was born on September 20, 1932, in Breckenridge, Minnesota, to John and Mary Bader. She graduated from Breckenridge High School in 1949. On a blind date, she met the love of her life, Vernon Kackman. They were married on October 3, 1951. They lived in Oceanside, California, for a year while Vernon served in the Marines. Vernon was then deployed to the Korean War; Marge returned to Breckenridge, Minnesota, and lived with her parents. When Vernon returned from Korea, they lived in California until he was discharged. Marge and Vernon settled on the Bader family farm, where they lived for 15 years and raised their eight children. In October 1967, they moved to New Brighton, Minnesota. Marge was a stay-at-home wife for a few years before taking a position at New Brighton Care Center. She worked there for 30 years, starting as a nursing assistant and also in the activities department. Marge went back to school to earn her Associate's Degree and finished her career as the Activity Director.

Besides raising her children, Marge was an active member of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church and belonged to many church groups, including St. Vincent DePaul, the women's group, funeral lunches, Bible group, kid's closet and more. Mom and Dad took many family trips, including camping, cabin time, and road trips with the girls.
