Marilyn Ann Hallett

Born in 1932 in Kellogg, Idaho, to Harvey Hammer Doty and Anna (Doubt) Doty, Marilyn was the third of five siblings. She graduated from Kellogg High School before attending the University of Idaho, where she earned her Bachelor's Degree in Education in 1955. It was there she met Kenneth D. Hallett; the couple married in 1954 and remained together for 72 years. She served as an elementary school teacher in Spokane from 1956 until her retirement in 1990. Her dedication to education touched many lives throughout her career. Earlier in her life, she also worked at a local flower shop with a love of flowers, particularly those in shades of pink. She also found joy in tending to gardens, spending many happy times with family and friends at their cabin at Diamond Lake, and

baking and cooking wonderful meals.

Marilyn is survived by her husband Kenneth of 72 years; her sons David (wife Marklyn) and Denny (wife Alice predeceased); her sister Laura (husband Bob); her brother's wife Cora Lea; grandchildren Caleb (wife Casey) and Carole (husband Tony); grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.

Marilyn was preceded in death by her parents; her daughter Ann Louise; brother John, brother Ben and sister-in-law Pat; sister Helen and brother-in-law Vernon Eaton.

A graveside internment service will be held Friday November 6 at Riverside Memorial Park Garden of Peace. Funeral arrangements are being handled by Hazen & Jaeger Valley Funeral Home.
