Marjorie C. Krewer was born in Brooklyn on 7 November 1897. Her married name was Marjorie C. Rocca.

She was very probably the Margret Krewer, born in 1897, who was living in 1905 in Brooklyn's 21st Assembly District with her parents, Louis and Annie Krewer, and her brothers and sisters Elizabeth, Louis, Minnie and George. Her mother's maiden name was Stein. The tie runs through her sister Elizabeth, called Elsie, who married Edward G. Reinhard in Brooklyn in 1913 and stood as a witness for Marjorie's husband in 1928.

On 7 September 1927 she married Nicholas Rocca, a broker born at Alcamo in Sicily, at Our Lady of Victory Church in Brooklyn. Mr. and Mrs. P. Rocca were best man and matron of honor. They spent two weeks at Lake Mohonk, a mountain resort in Ulster County, and set up home at 734 Ocean Avenue. On 8 February 1928 she stood as a witness to his petition for citizenship at the federal court in Brooklyn. She gave her occupation as housewife and her home as 734 Ocean Avenue, swore she had known him since 1 January 1923, and signed "Marjorie C. Rocca". The other witness was her sister Elsie Reinhard, of Floral Park.

Her first child, a son named Vito for her husband's father, was born on 26 May 1930 and died a week later in Manhattan. In 1931, at thirty-four, she came back into New York from abroad on the Italian liner Saturnia.

Three daughters followed. Anna Marjorie, who carried her mother's name and was called Nina, was born on 25 June 1934. Adriana Sarina was born on 8 April 1936, when Marjorie was thirty-eight. Victoria, called Vicky, was born about 1939.

In April 1940 the family rented an apartment at 612 Argyle Road in Flatbush. Marjorie was forty-two. She had four years of high school and kept the house, while Nicholas worked on Wall Street. They were still in Brooklyn in 1950.

Marjorie died in the 1950s, before her husband married again. Her daughters married into Brooklyn families: Nina to Domenick Tramontano in 1955, Adriana to Gerard Thomas Mandaro in 1959, and Vicky to Frank Miele.
