Marion Elizabeth Denison-Simons-Holland-Fry passed away Saturday, April 5 due to complications from heart surgery.
She was born Oct. 27, 1932 in St. Mary’s, Idaho and shortly thereafter moved to Miles where she lived until graduation from Hunters, High School in 1950. Soon after graduation, she married Thomas A Simons and they made their home in Davenport, where all five of their children were born. Chet in 1951, Charlene 1952, Richard 1955, Tom 1957, and Yvonne in 1960.
The family moved to the Kettle Falls area in 1965 and in 1967 she lost her husband, Tom, in a logging accident. Late the next year, in 1968, she married Claude Holland, who had been a friend of the family for years. He was unfortunately also killed in a logging accident in 1970.
Later that year she met Dean Fry and shortly thereafter they were married. During their years together they have owned and operated numerous businesses, including a country store near Inchelium, The Coulee Dam Tavern, and their latest, the Moccasin Flats General Store and Smoke Shack near Riverside, where she worked until her passing, making sure that her customers of many years were well taken care of.
Dean and Marion were married for 38 years, adding to the family Dean’s children, Caroline, Betty, Deano, and granddaughter Anna, also many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nephews and nieces.
She was loved by everyone who knew her. Her kind, loving, giving, nature was evident whereever she went. She enjoyed making her jams and jellies and giving them to friends and family.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Roy and Bertha Denison; two brothers, George and Emmett Denison; and their sister Carrie and her son, Deano Fry.
She is survived by her husband, Dean Fry, Riverside; their children, Caroline Fry, Spokane; Betty Sun Dust, Inchelium; Anna Fry, Riverside; her brothers, Charles Denison, Kettle Falls; Jim and Harriet Denison, Kettle Falls; sister Hazel Utecht, Tonasket; children, Chet Simons, Barstow; Charlene Hood, Kettle Falls; Rick and Pam Simons, Colville; Tom and Carol Simons, Spokane; Yvonne Simpson, Kettle Falls; and many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nephews, nieces and cousins.
She will be loved and missed forever by everyone who knew her.
