SPOKANE

Margery was born July 5, 1932, in Post Falls, Idaho, to James and Ida Huff. She died peacefully in her sleep in the presence of family on May 10 in Spokane, Washington.

She spent much of her childhood living in Usk, Washington.

Margery married Joe in 1952. Together they raised three sons on the family cattle ranch near Cusick, Washington. She enjoyed working and had a strong work ethic, starting to pick up jobs as soon as her children were in school and continuing to work into her early eighties.

When the family farm was sold, Margery completed her education and earned an Associate’s degree at Spokane Community College to become a Licensed Practical Nurse. Working primarily in geriatric care, she was a nurse for nearly 50 years, first practicing at the Newport Hospital and nursing home. After moving to Spokane in the 1980s, she worked in various healthcare facilities and for numerous private in-home patients.

Margery was a caring and devoted nurse to those she served. Family members of past patients would regularly contact her, remembering fondly and with appreciation the care she provided for their loved one.

Margery was pre-deceased by her parents, her husband Joe in 1980, her son Lyle in 2018, her sister Mary and brother Bob Huff. She is survived by her sons Dan (Cindy) of the Spokane Valley, Paul (Beth) of Olympia and daughter-in-law Gail of Newport; her four grandchildren Lane, Michael and Michaela and Melody Brown and a great-grandchild Connor Brown.

Margery will be interred at the Newport Washington cemetery. At her request, there will be no memorial service. Remembrances may be made in her name to Family Promise of Spokane, 2002 E Mission Ave. Spokane WA 99202.
