Marelia's Story
I went to MHS for 1 1/2 years then went to Louisana, then came back to MHS & didn't graduate as I quit to get married. I had four children within five years. During the marriage I worked off and on in nursing homes, in home care & resturants & also being a housewife. That marriage ended in divorce. Later I married my partner now & we have been together for 28 years. Between us we have 7 children, 14 grandchildren, 2 great grandchildren with 2 more on the way. During this marriage I have worked in nursing homes, dry cleaners (like my folks owned in Clovis & Marina, worked with mentally & developmentally challenged people & then my passion working with people who were in domestic violence relationships &/or sexually assaulted for over 13 years. I retired once to be able to take care of my Mom & when she moved to a sister (which she did before as spent time with me & both of my sisters), I went back to work & then ha...Expand for more
d to retire due to medical reasons. As you can tell I went into professions of helping people & not the making money kind;) Our families are all across the states so we keep in touch by phone & computers & now we're all on Facebook.
I was asked why my name was different than the way it's listed in yearbooks, etc. The answer is my first name is Estelle & the teachers wouldn't call me anything but that although all of my friends knew me as Marelia as that was what I liked. Now a lot of people call me Lee as it was easier for them to say. I still prefer Marelia;-)
I do a lot on our family history, crafts, repairs & re-organizing of things in our home, needle work, sewing, taking photos, enjoying all of our animals & enjoying the birds & wildlife outside.
I live between Pendleton, Oregon & Walla Walla, Washingtom with a super view of The Blues.
I appreciate all of the notes that I've received. Look for me on Facebook
