Marjorie “Marge” Besser, 87, passed away peacefully on July 8, 2021, at Quiet Oaks Hospice House in St. Cloud, MN.

Marjorie A. (Rosenberg) Besser was born in Milo Township, Milaca, Minnesota on August 2, 1933 to Elmer and Mable (Schiller) Rosenberg. She graduated from Milaca High School and worked for Dayton’s Department Store in Minneapolis. She married George A. Besser Jr. on October 4, 1952. During her lifetime, Marge and George owned and operated a number of businesses including George’s Café in St Cloud and Foley, MN, the Burger Hut in Sauk Centre, MN, the Honda House in St Cloud, MN, and a Super 8 Motel in Branson, MO. They also farmed near Sauk Rapids, MN. Marge enjoyed her home and was meticulous in her care for it. She was an excellent cook and was famous inside and outside the family for her baked goods, especially the vast array of Christmas cookies she baked and shared each year. She loved animals, especially her beloved dogs Ginger and Muffin. While living in Branson, Marge had the opportunity to fulfill her lifelong dream of being a clothing model at Branson Style Shows. Marge often spoke of those she loved and prayed for each day. She was friendly and outgoing and always took time to make sure those around her were cared for.
