She was born April 12, 1934, in Kalispell to Joseph and Margret Bell Dzivi. Marge attended Flathead Valley grade schools and graduated from Flathead High School in 1952.

On March 6, 1954, she married David Cramm in Spokane. The couple moved to Missoula in 1958 after living in Idaho and Massachusetts.

Scrabble and crossword puzzles were her daily passion. She was a supporter of the Montana Silent Witness Initiative and accompanied them on the cross-country road trip with the wood cutout figures on the national march at Washington, D.C.

Marge and David, her husband, were the owners/operators of the Dairy-Go-Round Drive In on Russell Street for many years. Upon the sale of the Dairy-Go-Round, "Mar" began a long career as a real estate salesperson.
