The Wahkiakum County Eagle-Published Thursday, November 5, 2009 Patricia Hallin Puget Island resident, Patricia W. Marsh Hallin, 79, passed away October 29, 2009 at Community Home Health & Hospice in Longview. She was born April 12, 1930 in Kirkland to Robert and Minnie (Cox) Ogilvie. Pat graduated from Kirkland High School in 1948 and attended the University of Washington. She married Edward L. Marsh in December 1949 and together they moved to Puget Island in 1950; he preceded her in death in 1972. In June 1974 she married David B. Hallin. They lived at Silver Lake for over 20 years before moving to their home on Puget Island; he preceded her in death in 2002. Pat’s greatest love was entertaining family and friends. She was a great story teller and delighted all with lively tales of the antics of both family members and her varied menagerie of pets. She was also a talented water color artist and leaves behind a beautiful collection of art work that will be treasured for generations. Though Pat made close friends wherever she lived, her favorite years were perhaps those spent on Puget Island where she spent the majority of her child rearing years and where she returned in retirement to enjoy dear old friends and the grandeur of the Columbia River. She is survived by her son George Marsh of Scottsdale, Ariz.; daughters, Wendy Marsh of Vancouver, and Megan Whitmire of Kennewick; a brother, Mike Ogilvie of Bellevue; grandchildren Kylyn Johnson, Stacy Anderson, Tiffany Wallace, Amy Blain, Christina Marsh, Justin Marsh, Will Marsh and John Ellavsky; 11 great-grandchildren, six step- grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by brothers, George Ogilvie and Robert “Bud” Ogilvie and her sisters Katherine Hall and Ellen Davenport. A funeral was held November 1, 2009 with a private burial at Greenwood Cemetery in Cathlamet. Memorial contributions may be made in Patricia W. Hallin’s name to Community Hospice, P.O.
