MARJORIE B. POWELL IDAHO FALLS, ID -- Marjorie Bybee Sundberg Powell, age 84, passed away peacefully, July 31, 2007, in Idaho Falls. Born April 2, 1923, she was the only child of Leslie Bowman Bybee and Annie Elva Westergard Bybee.

Sundberg, her childhood sweetheart and they had three children, Leslie Anne, Jack Stuart and Shelly Marie. Their marriage was later solemnized in the LDS Temple. Marjorie helped Jack with the pharmacies they owned until his death in 1970. Later she worked for the Idaho Falls Chamber of Commerce and First Federal Savings and Loan.
