Notes

Memories of Marie Anderson by Franklin and Colleen
Marie was born in Alden, Minnesota in 1900 to Sophia, a housewife and Peter Jensen, a
mason.
She was one of eight children, the second from the oldest. Life was not easy for Marie,
being the second oldest- Even as a young girl she worked hard, helping to raise younger
brothers and sisters and doing farm chores. In high school she played basketball.
Marie became a hairdresser, learning the skill of Marcelle, a difficult job" How her hair
looked was always extremely important to her. She was attractive.
Marie and Easton were married in Great Falls, Montana in1926 and soon left for Los
Angeles, California where Easton was a chauffeur and Marie a cook and nanny for a
family. Later she worked at the Edelweiss Bakery in E1 Sereno. Franklin was often
invited to the bakery to eat a "broken" chocolate 6clair.
They moved to Longview, Washington in 1948 when Marjorie was 14 and Franklin
(Sonny) was 12. Easton was a pipe fitter at Weyerhaeuser. After WW II the wartime
policy of hiring women continued for a short time. Marie was one of the last women
hired at Weyerhaeuser in the plywood operation. She quickly traded any retail job for the
"mill work" for twice the pay. So what if she had to *wear jeans"? She retired at 65.
All of her life she enjoyed fishing. In her youth she caught grasshoppers and used them
for bait to fish for trout. She taught Franklin to fish. Her last trip was to Westport for
deepsea salmon fishing at the age of 75. Once, when Marie and Charlie Dunlap
(neighbor of 30 years) went sturgeon fishing and were about to cast their lines, she
realizedthat the bait she quickly grabbed from the freezer, before leaving Longview, was
discovered to be frozen peas instead of smelt. Franklin still fishes with the smelt net
Charlie found on the banks of the Columbia River in 1942. Charlie taught her to drive
when she was 50 years old. Her driver's license expired in l99l and the 1965 Buick,
with 20,000 miles on it, was sold.
Marie liked the stock market, Kentucky Chicken, Tastee Freeze, ORMET and Banker's
life, good food (lemon pie, carrot salad without pineapple, spaghetti, raw nuts, avocados,
See's chocolates, fat pickles, carrot juice made from home-grown carrots) a good concert,
ironed sheets, very sweet wine, her cat 'Boots', Lawrence Welk, baseball, and horse
racing. She didn't like short sleeveq her first netme, instant coffee, smoking, the color
red, cake mixes, skimmed milk orNixon.
Franklin and Marjorie remember standing in line during the war for rationed items of
meat, sugar and bananas. Each customer got one package or box. Trying to be ready for
the next food crisis, Marie and Easton always kept 12 pounds of coffee and tlree quarts
of mayonnaise in storage just in case. The tops were dated.
When she sold the big house on 2l$ in Longview, Marie moved to the apartrnents on 18tr
Street. After l0 years there, she moved to Maple Vista apartrnents in Olympia. From
there she lived for two years at Olympics West and spent her last years with Emilia
Dario. Emilia was wonderfirl to Marie and truly a good friend.
She was a devoted Grandmother to Erika and Erleen. The girls remember the time she
took the lid offthe popcorn kettle she was using to see how far the popcorn would fly
around the kitchen. They fed ducks together down at the lake. They wore out a wad of
dough while Grandma baked pies. Marie also tatted, sewed, painted her house, grand
mothered, and volunteered.
At age 99, after outJiving all of her siblings, on December 14,1999, Marie passed away
in her sleep. On Decemb er 2ltt she was buried with her husband, Easton Carl Anderson,
at Willamette Cemetery.
She will be missed
