- [S5] Obituary.
Idella ?Marie? Carle (Martin) was born in Goffstown, New Hampshire on Oct. 19, 1923.
Our mom grew up skiing and tapping maple trees. After high school graduation, she boarded a train to Boston to visit with a girlfriend and joined the United States Navy! The girlfriend (ruse) was to get around her father?s refusal to let his daughter leave her home!
Leave she did and went to work for the Judge Advocate Generals (JAG) office in Washington D.C. She met a handsome U.S. Marine guarding the gate who eventually became mom?s husband and our father. A Navy yeoman married to a career Marine created a disciplined and mobile family. We traveled a lot as a tight-knit foursome and enjoyed many assignments. Mom always kept us together, safe and happy.
Our mom worked for Sears at the catalogue desk and made many lifelong friends. After retirement, she and our father ate lunch at different restaurants almost daily!
Mom continued to enjoy life traveling and ?visiting? Legends Casino. The last 6 months saw her health failing and she left us on the morning of Aug. 6, 2015 to join our father and the Heavenly Father for some much needed rest.
Thank you to Dr. Dimeo and staff for providing compassionate medical care and personal attention for many years. Hospice provided care for the last week of Mom?s life and a special thank you to Nurse Karen for being an Angel on Earth!
Our special friend Andre was another gift we received to help with chores and comfort Mom. She always said ?Andre?s a good guy? and we agree.
Marie is preceded in death by her husband, Ernest Carle, mother & father in law, Edward and Georgia Malecki, and son in law Don Beck. Marie is survived by her daughters Susan Gamache (Les), and Nancy Carle, grandsons Jeff Beck (Tiffany) and Seth Carle-Duve, brother and sister in law, David and Arlene Carle of New Providence, New Jersey.
A Memorial Service will be held on Tuesday, August 11, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. at Keith & Keith Funeral Home.
Memorial Donations may be made to the William Wharton Post #379, VFW or to Regional Hospice in care of Keith & Keith Funeral Home, 902 W. Yakima Avenue, Yakima, WA 98902.
