Marlois's Story

Hi Everyone, I am Marlois (Cain) Keeney. After graduation in 1967 I married and moved to Vancouver, Washington and since my husband worked all over we did a lot of traveling, so I have lived in a lot of places in the Northwest, Alaska, and Hawaii. My husband and I divorced in 1987 and I moved to Hawaii where I met and married my second husband. I am now a widow and live alone in Mountain View, Hawaii. I have had a number of jobs since I moved to Hawaii including being an auto body repair person, carpet cleaner, and working in the lab of a fruit processing plant for my late husband. I then worked for the State Of Hawaii at a correctional facility as the Captain's secretary for a number of years until my doctors ruled me as disabled because of a heart condition and a number of other conditions. I now make Lampwork Glass Beads. I melt glass rods with a two fuel (oxygen & propane) torch and form glass beads into different shapes. I have sold my beads (mostly hearts) on eBay since 2003. I love making beads even though they are not selling so well on eBay at the present time (the economy, I think). I do sell my finished work (making my beads into necklaces, key chains, and such) locally. My business name is Momo's Beads (Momo is a name that one of my younger Sisters hung on me when she was little and couldn't say Marlois). Three years ago my doctor am...Expand for more
putated my left leg four inches above the knee (because of a botched heart bypass in 1995 then a balloon pump was inserted and left in too long cutting the circulation to my left leg). So now I spend a lot of time in a wheel chair, but it hasn't slowed me down much. I still drive, do all my own shopping, and all my own house cleaning. About the only things that I can't do anymore is do yard work, do carpentry work and work on my car so I hire those things done. I have three Step Sons, thirteen Grand Children and upteen Great Grand Children. I never had children of my own because of medical reasons, but I really enjoy the Grand Children and Great Grand Children that were my late husband's. My walls are covered with all of their pictures. Mostly, I have lived a good life and I plan to go on living an even better life for many years to come. I still have Siblings that live in the Pendleton area and my Mother who turned 90 this past (2009) July lives in Hermiston in an assisted living facility so I return to Pendleton about every other summer. I tried to return to Pendleton one Christmas and about froze to death, so summer is the only time I will return. You aren't going to see any recent pictures of me on this site because the only ones that I have I'm in my wheel chair and that's not how I want to be remembered. Hope to hear from any of you soon!!!!!
