Marie K. Fox's Obituary
Marie Fox, of Spanaway Washington, went to be with the Lord on Wednesday October 8, 2023 at the age of 83. Marie worked for many years at Montgomery Wards department store as executive secretary responsible for catalog development. Marie was best known for her humorous carefree nature, always joking around and being witty. She adored playing board games as a favorite family activity. Marie was a selfless person, nurturing mother, supportive wife, amazing cook, and loved teaching Sunday school from age 22 until she finally retired at age 80. Marie was always willing to help out wherever she could; it was not uncommon for her to cook or bake something for a member of her church and deliver it.
Born on November 3, 1940 to Murl and Blanche Nichols in Minitare, Nebraska, Marie is survived by her husband of 59 years, Daniel T. Fox; son, Christopher A. Fox (Faye L. Fox), daughter, Tamara L. Fox, and grandchildren Nekiyah, Taryn, Olivia, Brooklynn, Josslyn, Zoe, and Felix. Marie was a woman of faith who loved the Lord, her family, and her church community.
