On June 7, 2021, Margaret “Marretta“ Hurst, passed away peacefully at age 97, the mother of 5 children; David, Jannette, Darlene, Tim and Cindy, 12 grandchildren, 17 great grandchildren, and 3 great great grandchildren. Born to John and Flora Belle Tingey on Feb. 8, 1924, Marretta loved to travel and frequently organized and participated in trips near and far for her fellow retirement home friends often looking for that big casino jackpot to bring home. She was always game for a life experience; all you had to say was “hey Ma wanna do something” and she would laugh in her special way and say “sure, let’s go!”
She married Olaf “Dewey” Hurst on May 26, 1945, and spent most of her time caring for and loving her children and their children above all else. Marretta was loved by many and memories of her loving spirit and sage advice will never be forgotten.
“I wonder if her secret to a long life was to keep laughing and when she laughed, she filled the whole room with laughter. She was loving, always laughing and she was there whenever I needed help.”
“I will never forget and will always follow the advice she gave over the years. Her wise words have gotten me through many life challenges, I learned so much from her.”
“We love you and will miss you so much grandma, nana, mother, mom.”
