She and her sister, Virginia, lived in Spokane for six years. When their parents divorced Marie and her sister lived with Grandpa and Grandma Bell at Jewel Lake. They lived at Jewel Lake until 1939 when their Mom married Paul Griesemer and they moved to Priest Lake for one year where their father worked in the woods. They lived in the logging camp for 6 months and in a house for 6 months. The girls graduated from the 8th grade at the one room school house on Lamb Creek. The family then moved to Priest River where Marie and her sister completed their schooling. According to Marie's sister, [name omitted], "Marie and I had a great childhood, spending a lot of time with our grandparents at Jewel Lake. We were also very lucky to have Paul Griesemer as our father and he treated us just like we were his own children and showered us with lots of love." Marie and her sister were very close and did everything together growing up. Marie had a son, who was born in May of 1945, when she met and married Russ Ratcliff in June 1946 at West Yellowstone, Montana. Work took them onto Leadville, Colorado, where their son was born in October of 1946. They then moved to Oakland, California, and their daughter was born November 1947. Shortly thereafter they moved back to Granddad Ratcliff's farm at Diamond Lake. Their son was born February 1950 and the family moved to a dairy farm on Coyote Trail where they lived for nine years. [Names omitted.] Marie did everything from raising kids, baling hay, cutting and hauling pulpwood. While on the farm [name omitted] was born in February 1953, and [name omitted] was born in August 1955. When the regulations for dairy farming changed, the family sold the farm and moved next door to the cemetery in Newport. While they lived there [name omitted] was born in March 1960. Marie went to work at the Pennell fur farm and several of her children followed in her footsteps. She divorced in 1969 and then went to work for the Pend Oreille Road Department in the Engineering Department from which she retired on September 30, 1991. In her retirement she loved to knit, crochet, work in her garden and play cards with her friends. Marie passed away due to cancer on April 19th at the Newport Community Hospital.
