Marie Goodfellow Easter
d. August 14, 2017
1935 ~ 2017
Our loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and aunt, Marie Easter, passed away into the loving arms of her Heavenly Father on August 12, 2017 at St. Joseph Villa, Salt Lake City, in the presence of her loving Husband of 59 years, James Lee Easter, Sr.
Marie was born July 18, 1935 to Elmer L. & Marion Goodfellow in Salt Lake City, UT. She attended the Grant and McKinley Schools in Vallejo, California, North Davis Jr. High School in Clearfield, UT, and Cyprus High School in Magna, UT.
At the age of ten, Marie started Ballet and Tap Dancing which gave her many interesting opportunities.
After graduating from high school, Marie Joined the Air Force. While in the Air Force Marie met and married Anthony Blake, 16 December 1954. They later divorced. Marie later met and married James Lee (Jim) Easter, Sr. on November 16, 1958. Marie brought two sons into the marriage and Jim brought a son and three daughters. They had another daughter and son together and the whole family was sealed together for time and eternity in the Salt Lake Temple.
The family made their home in Edmonds, Washington for many years before moving to Utah and relocating several times here.
After her time in the Air Force, Marie used her GI rights to take a beauty course. She used this skill for a time to help support the family. Jim built her a nice beauty shop in the basement of their home where she continued to serve her many, happy customers. Marie also kept the books for Jim's plumbing business. After Marie closed her beauty shop she was always happy to cut and style hair for family, friends, and all the missionaries in or near Edmonds.
Marie and Jim love the gospel of Jesus Christ and have served missions for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Charlotte, NC and Manilla, Philippines.
Marie was a very talented artist who loved to paint, draw, sing, do wood-craft and make jewelry.
Marie is survived by her husband, James: children, James L. Easter Jr. (Linda), Oregon; Sharon (Steve) Powell, Mountlake Terrace, WA; Meredith Winn, Tennessee; Barbara (Jim) Malmgren, Bountiful, UT; Robert (Shirley) Easter, Paducah, KY; Lelia (Bart) Grant, Monroe, UT; Frank Easter, Salt Lake City, UT, Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren from Alaska to Florida and many places in-between.
