Born Marguerite Guarnerius (also reported as Guarnery) in Chicago, IL to a violin-making family, she grew up in Indianapolis, IN. At the age of 13, she was afflicted with polio and spent two years in a hip-to-shoulder cast. She attended Indiana University in Bloomington. In the mid-1950s, she married Joseph Warner; a son resulted from the marriage, which ended after only a few years.[1] In 1982, she married NYPD officer Joseph "Joe" Arthur Knedlhans, which lasted until her death from breast cancer.[2]
