Marion E. Lynch,
88, Clarkston
Marion Elisabeth
Lynch (Mamie) passed away
She was born on
She grew up, went
to school and worked in Orofino. There she met and married Joe
Lynch. They were beginning their lives together when Joe was called
to military service.
Mamie worked in
Orofino at Oud's Pharmacy and then at the telephone company as a
telephone operator. Later they settled in Paso Robles, CA, where she
worked first as a telephone operator, and then was promoted into
supervisory positions.
She built many
friendships in Paso Robles. She enjoyed "playing" in the yard,
camping with Joe and traveling home to visit their families in
Orofino. She loved baking persimmon cookies and created many
beautiful sewing projects.
Faced with
multiple health problems and the passing of her husband, Joe, Mamie
gathered her courage and moved to Clarkston to be close to her
family. She lived first with her niece, Sharon Nelsen, and later
when her niece, Shirley and Garry Walker, moved to Clarkston, she
lived with them.
In the presence of
loving family she enjoyed excellent care and many activities and
adventures during her last years. She liked "playing" in the kitchen
as much as she liked "playing" in the yard. Whenever there were
children we could find Mamie seated on the floor in the middle of
the kids and the toys. When macular degeneration took her eyesight,
she sewed by feel/touch, with Shirley's help, to make lap robes to
donate to nursing home residents. She enjoyed time with her cousin,
Marilyn, her sister-in-law, Edie Day, and many nieces and nephews.
Mamie was preceded
in death by her husband, Joe; sister, Leora; brother, Phil; and
nephew, Sharrel.
She is survived by
her sister's daughters, Sharon and Val Nelsen, Shirley and Garry
Walker and Christy and Bob Kurts; her brother's sons, Eddie and Pam
Smith and Michael Smith; her sister-in-law, Edie Day; and many
nieces and nephews.
Her buoyant
spirit, her positive encouragement and spunky outlook blessed us
all. We will miss her sweet smile. We love you, Mame!
At her request
there will be no service and a family celebration of her life will
be conducted at a later date. |

every year, and you special dill pickles.
Thank you for

wonderful memories for our friends and family.

guests, whether they were family, friends or strangers, into her

cinnamon rolls. She would graciously share her recipes with anyone
upon request, but all agreed that no one could quite replicate the
taste because she always added a special ingredient (love) to
everything she made.

taking trips to the casino and shopping.

During her life,
Betty was involved with many organizations in the community. One
place you could always count on seeing her was at the elections
where she served as an election official. She was instrumental in
getting the Clearwater Valley Hospital Auxiliary started. She served
on the Riverside Water and Sewer Board from 1993 to the present, for
the past six years as chairwoman. Betty was involved in many
enterprises in her life, retiring from a full-service drapery shop
with partner Edith Day.
Betty was very
artistic. There wasn't any craft, sewing or painting project, to
name a few, that she hadn't mastered. She blessed many with the
fruits of her talent.
Someone very
special in both Betty's life as well as Jim's was their lifelong
very best friend, Leif Hovland. Leif, a childhood friend of Jim's
has seen Jim and Betty through much of what life has thrown at them.
During this last illness of Betty's, he was a godsend to her in
every way. He has done so much that the family cannot thank him
enough for.

She often talked about how lucky she was to have the friends and family she was privileged with. She was a loving and giving member of her family and she will be missed beyond comprehension. Her favorite pass time after she retired was to work beneath the shade of the trees in the back yard. Don would drag in logs to this shady spot and she would saw the logs into chunks for firewood. She would stack the wood between the trees making some what of a maze.
Her hobbies
included sewing, knitting, crocheting, fishing, hunting and most of
all riding her 4 wheeler on the limitless trails and roads around
the area. |
