Alvida grew up on the family farm near Waukon, Washington. Alvida was the only girl in a family of six boys. She attended schools at Tucker Prairie, Edwall, and Medical Lake and graduated from Cheney High School in 1942. She worked at Lakeland Village for one year. She then attended Whitworth College. She married Howard Williams when he returned from the service in 1946. They farmed with his brother Ralph Williams (deceased) near Mondovi, Washington until 1960, when Alvida and Howard moved to the Lehn farm near Waukon, where they raised wheat, hay, and beef cattle. They were married for 42 years before Howard passed away in 1988. Alvida enjoyed being a farm wife and raising her children. She packed meals out to the field during harvest, sewed dresses for her daughters, did the bookkeeping for the farm, gardening, and still found time for her passion--writing. She sold many humorous stories over the years to farm magazines and wrote a guest column for the Spokesman-Review in the early 1970's. Alvida was a tireless advocate for people with developmental disabilities and worked for several years helping publish the Village Voice (Lakeland Village's newspaper). After Howard's passing she moved from the farm to Spokane, where she became a realtor at the age of 71. The Spokesman-Review wrote a full-page column in 2002 reviewing a book Alvida co-authored of her memories about growing up on a farm during the Great Depression. She fell in love a second time and married James Merrimac at the age of 73 in 1998. They enriched each others' lives until her passing. Alvida is preceded in death by her husband Howard and brothers Howard, Robert, Milton (Jack), Berton, and Donald (Lehn. In lieu of flowers donations in Alvida's name may be made to Hospice House of Spokane. A Memorial Service will be held on Wednesday, July 27 at 2 p.m. at Hamblen Park Presbyterian Church.
