Marcia J. Griffith

At 77 years old, our beloved mother went to be with our Lord Jesus on Tuesday, March 5, 2019, surrounded by her family. She was born on July 19, 1941, in Mt. Vernon, OR. As a little girl, she loved helping her daddy on the farm. She moved to Wenatchee, WA, at the age of 13. She later met and married Russell Lee Griffith and raised six children. While living in the Wenatchee Valley, she worked for Tree Top, where she loved being a fork lift driver. She loved being outdoors and enjoyed camping, riding her bike or walking on the loop trail. In her earlier years,m she played catcher position for the women's softball teams, and for the over 50 Jack and Jill teams. She also enjoyed going to the annual Rod Run car shows with her husband, who was a member of the Wenatchee Valley Street Rods. As she got older, to her family's surprise, she loved watching the Mariner's play ball, often yelling at the TV as if she were at the game. Mackie enjoyed spending time with her sisters, taking road trips, especially to see the Montana family. She had a fun personality that so many came to love and a spunk that kept us all laughing. She showed all of us how to "hold on" when facing her own sorrows and disappointments when life didn't go as planned. She was a caring, loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother and her face always brightened whenever she was spending time with her family. When she was told by the doctors that there was nothing more they could do, she bravely responded, "If I've got to go, I got to go..." and later said, "I love you so much, I'll see you on the other side." She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Russell Griffith; and her sister, Janice Scott. She is survived by two sisters: Judy Ford and Mary Harris; her children: Donna Fritz, Rick Griffith, Sheila Walters, Lanny Griffith, Tami Jameson, and Rachelle Olin; as well as 15 grandchildren; and 21 great-grandchildren. Our mother requested a Graveside Service. Please join us at Evergreen Memorial Park, 1301 NE 10th St., East Wenatchee, WA, on Monday, April 8, 2019, at 12:00 p.m. We will be laying flowers on her casket and invite you to join us for that as well. Arrangements are by Chapel of the Valley, Wenatchee, WA.
