Mardelle’s father was born in Missouri and eventually died of a heart-attack.
When she was in first grade, the family moved to Yakima.
One of her uncles came with his wife to stay in the house where Mardelle’s parents and grandparents were already staying.
Her mother started working for the Public Utility District, and this was good for her depression.
During her school years in Pasco, if your family didn’t work for the railroad you did not belong.
She met her future husband when she was a sophomore in Pullman.
