Marjory Dell Schulte (aka Marge, Granny and Demps) was born to Oren Clyde Payne and Nettie Payne in Glenrock, Wyoming on August 25, 1918. The family moved to Wisconsin and then to northern Alberta.

She was instrumental in starting the APEC program in the Auburn School District and was recognized by the Auburn School Board for her dedication and work with kids. For the past 55 years, she was known as Granny to all her grandchildren, their friends, and the neighborhood kids. Every child loved to go see Granny because she always had two or three kinds of home-made cookies lined up in cookie jars in the pantry.

She was preceded in death in 1994 by her husband of 56 years and her son, Floyd; brothers Loren, Dwight (Hoolie), Leonard (Barney), Payne and sister Cloe Day.At her request there will be no funeral service.
