Passed in peace at the age of 86, Marguerite was born in Chico, California and married her high school sweet heart Donald Compton, in 1948 in Durham, CA.

They moved to Washington state in the early 1960's and farmed in both Stanwood and Ephrata before retiring in the Spokane area.

Marguerite bore years of physical challenges but never lost her sense of humor and optimistic spirit.

She was a beloved friend to many of her caregivers. She credited her French Basque heritage as well as her Catholic faith in giving her the strength to endure life's adversities.

Marguerite is survived by her sister Rosalie Cartwright of Phoenix, Arizona, and five children: Marica Gibbons (Michael), Gail Compton, Mark Compton (Ava), Adele Compton Weed (James), Renee Compton (Diana); five grandchildren: Shannon, Justin, Brianne, Noele, Tyler, Devin, and ten great-grandchildren.

We love you dear Mother, and thank you for your demonstration of unconditional love and strength.
