Marcia L. Chose

June 12, 1953 - September 7, 2020

Marcia Luanne Chose was born on June 12, 1953 in Lisbon North Dakota, the only daughter of Martin and Martha Chose. She died September 7th, 2020 at the age of 67. She lived on the farm until 1965 when the family moved to Snohomish Washington. But she always loved and missed the farm life, and spoke of it often. To her, as a child, it was a wonderful place to grow up. She was always fond of animals, cats, dogs and birds, and she often had multiple pets in her home. In the recent years when she was not able to care for pets any longer, she would spend time watching Animal Planet; she could tell you any facts you wanted to know about many species of animal, wild or domestic. She graduated from Snohomish High School in 1971, and immediately started working for GTE telephone Company at the age of 18. She worked there for 20 years, and faced a forced retirement when the company merged and moved to another state. At that time, she decided to moved to Oregon to be closer to family, and shortly after moving she began a new career when she purchased a small glass shop in Newberg. She owned and operated that business for many years. She loved interacting with all her customers and many became friends. Her health took a turn for the worse and she ended up on dialysis for the past 7 years. She took this in stride. She referred to her treatments as “work”, and her weekly test results as her “report card”. She made many friends there over the years, and became close to them and the staff. She always had stories to tell, and such positive things to say about them. She is survived by three brothers; Myrvin (Joan) of Woodburn, Oregon, Michael of Vancouver, Washington and Mark of Phoenix, Arizona. As well as many nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her Mother and her Father. She will be greatly missed. At Marcia’s request, no service will be held. If you wish to make a remembrance in her name, she supported the Humane Society throughout her life.
