I worked with Marian in the mid-1950’s in the Boeing toolroom dept. She was a very dedicated & hard worker.I’m sorry that I lost track of her many years ago.
My heartfelt sympathy goes to everyone in her large family.
I just wanted to leave a loving memory for my dearest granny. You have forever touched my heart and taught me so many things about construction, handiwork, and working on the farm. I will never forget the days when you and I went to get hay in E. Wash, or the days when we worked hard building the workshop and sat down to eat a chicken sandwich on the deck while the sun set. I see the influences of you in my everyday work, from straight lines, no bent nails, to no slopping. In the end, you taught me to take pride in my work and give from the heart. We will all miss you and I will never forget you. God bless you and sweet dreams Mom.
Love, Scotty
