MARGERY ANN HUTSELL Age 90, died peacefully at her home on 9/2/2012 from complications of Parkinson's disease. She was born January 10, 1922, in Couer d'Alene, Idaho, daughter of Robert C. and Flo Hutsell, who, with sister, Carol, predeceased her. She is survived by Billy Bush, her loving and devoted husband of 67 years. Also surviving her are sons Michael, with wife, Cindy and grandchildren Erin and Andrew, and Steven, with wife, Peggie Findlay, granddaughter, Alex Hickman, and grandson, Brendan Dorsey. Her sister, Betty, also survives her. Margery was raised during the difficult circumstances of the Great Depression, learning the values of hard work, fortitude, and self-reliance from an early age. Her family was familiar with the practice of "farm to table" as a matter of survival. She obtained her pilot's license as a teen-ager, flying float planes off Couer d'Alene Lake and, later, worked in the defense plants during WWII. She earned a 4H scholarship to the University of Idaho where she obtained Bachelor's degrees in Pre-nursing and Home Economics, and where she managed the dormitory food services for those returning to study on the GI Bill. She was married to Billy Bush in January 1945, while he was on shore leave from the Navy, and spent the next 67 years in a loving, collaborative and mutually supportive relationship. Her lifelong loves were family, hospitality, her kitchen and her garden. She had an innate appreciation of the beauty of Creation, whether experienced in the mountains of her native state, the redwood groves of California or the vistas of New Mexico, and believed strongly in its preservation. She had a humble and kind heart, a practical and down to earth understanding of human nature and the strongest loyalty to family and friends. She has been much admired and much loved and will be missed by all who have known her. A memorial service is to be scheduled at a time to be determined later in the fall.
