Marian Graybeal

Marian Graybeal, 83, of Twin Falls, passed away peacefully at her home Sunday, Jan. 4, 2009, with her beloved husband and son at her side. Marian was born May 5, 1925 in Luray, Kansas, daughter of Vern and Blanche Teasley. Marian graduated from Colorado Women's College in 1946, married Vic Graybeal on February 14, 1948, worked at The Vogue and the Lamplighter Motel both located in Twin Falls. Most of her life was spent making a beautiful home for her family. Marian and Vic were active in the Junior Chamber of Commerce, Lyons Club, Elks Club, El Korah Shrine Club, and Christian Science Society of Twin Falls. They traveled to 49 States, Canada, and Mexico, enjoying life together and spreading love and compassion to everyone. She transformed lives and created smiles with her kind words and compliments, of which she loved to say even to complete strangers. Marian loved books reading most of them two or three times; however, her favorite past-time was collecting meaningful quotations. One of her dearest friends was Puck Whittelsy, daughter-in-law to the late Ernest Hemmingway. Marian is survived by her husband, Vic Graybeal of Twin Falls, her one son Mark (Joyce) Graybeal; six grandchildren Victor Graybeal, Crystal Bay, Nevada; Jason (Emily) Graybeal, Gooding; Destiny (Chad) Nielson, Jerome; Jared (Stefanie) Graybeal, Fort Collins, Colorado; Jennie (Lance) Sears, and Julee (Justyn) Anderson, Twin Falls; and eight great-grand children Sheree Graybeal, Colin Graybeal, Garrett Graybeal, Adalynn Graybeal, Natalie Nielson, Dallan Nielson, Saige Lehmann, and Alee Anderson. The family wishes to thank Visions Hospice, Twin Falls Care Center, their wonderful friends on Casa Grande Court, and their amazing friends and family for love and support. Arrangements are under the direction of Parke's Magic Valley Funeral Home, 2551 Kimberly Road, Twin Falls.
