Marguerite Mary (Klinkhammer) Sullivan was born on August 13, 1917 at Leith, North Dakota, the daughter of John and Josephine (Goergen) Klinkhammer. When Marguerite was ten, her family moved to Lemmon where she attended St. Mary's Grade School and graduated from Lemmon High School.
Marguerite was united in marriage to John Sullivan on June 26, 1940 in Lemmon. The couple purchased a ranch south of Lemmon where they raised their family for 16 years. Marguerite was very active in the local 4H Club and the Lakeside Ladies Extension Club. She was a devoted member of St. Mary's Catholic Church in Lemmon, active in the Women's Altar Society and playing the organ for Mass, church activities and special events. Retiring after 17 years as a secretary with the Lemmon School District, she took on the role of Parish secretary for many years.
She later retired from that position and moved to Spearfish, where she stayed for 18 years before moving to Illinois to be closer to several of her children.
