She grew up on a farm outside of Canora along with her ten brothers and sisters. Marj later met and married Steve Chabun and together they had three children and farmed near Canora. Later in life Marj started her cooking career and worked as a cook at the Yorkton Nursing Home, Medicine Hat College and later moved to Maple Ridge, BC where she cooked at Maple Ridge Guest Haven.

She then got a job as a Nursing Attendant at West Park Nursing Home where she worked up until she took early retirement due to health problems.
