They had a daughter, Candyce Leigh, born March 27, 1958, and a son, Craig Edstan, born July 23, 1959. In 1961, they moved to Arvada, Colorado. In Colorado, she did substitute teaching, worked for the City Of Arvada and then for HUD with the U.S. government. In 1988, they moved to Boulder, Colorado. She retired in 1990 and in retirement, Marge and Norm traveled the world.
