Age 90

Sun., Sept. 7, 2014

CALAHAN, Marjorie D. (Age 90) Marjorie was born in Plentywood, Montana on February 4, 1924 and passed away August 24, 2014, in Spokane Valley.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Eugene and son, Mike.

She is survived by her three daughters, Donna (Karl), Linda, and Tammie (Steve); grandchildren, Cheryl, Kellie, Carl, Angela, Chris, John, Derrick, Breezy and Sandi, and many great-grandchildren.

She is also survived by her brother, Earl.

Marjorie, Gene and the kids moved to Spokane Valley in 1950, where Marjorie raised her family.

Her favorite pastime was dancing, which she did two nights every week at the Senior Center in Post Falls and the Spokane Valley Eagles Club.

She will be missed by all her friends and dancing partners and we are positive she is up there, passing her time, dancing with the stars.
