Notes |
- Couldn’t find her in the 1930 census. There was an Annie Lee, schoolteacher, of about the right age living in Okanogan County at that time but her place of birth, as well as the places of birth of her parents, were all wrong.
Annie Irene Lee Holmes, 90, of Tonasket, died on Tuesday, Aug. 3, 1999 at the North Valley Nursing Home in Tonasket.
She was born on Dec. 19, 1908 in Superior, WI to parents, Elling and Mary Lee.
When Annie was a child, her family moved west to an orchard near Omak. Five years later, they moved into town. There Annie attended school, graduating from the Omak High School in 1925. She then attended and graduated from the Cheney Normal School with a teacher's certificate. Schools she later taught in included Foster, Tonasket, Wauconda, Riverside, Methow, Manson and the Chewiliken Valley. On Aug. 27, 1933, she married Cecil Holmes in Omak. Following their retirement, they moved near Oroville and lived there until 1990 when they moved to an apartment in Tonasket.
Her husband, Cecil, preceded her in death in 1991.
Due to ill health, Annie's last years have been spent in the North Valley Nursing Home in Tonasket.
Annie had an enormous capacity for the love of children.
She was a charter member of the Tonasket Free Methodist Church and also a member of the Retired Teachers Assoc.
Annie is survived by numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by an infant daughter, Marjorie, four brothers and two sisters.
Services will be Friday, Aug. 6, 1999 at 11 a.m. at the Tonasket Free Methodist Church with Fred Boyd officiating. Burial will be in the Tonasket Cemetery.
