Marion Grace Vallier
July 6, 1914 – Dec. 02, 2010

Marion Grace Gosney, 94, of Ames, died Dec. 02, 2010. An open house will be held at a later date when her grandsons can attend and honor her life and wishes.

Marion was born in Victoria, British Columbia, on July 6, 1914, to Alfred and Jenny Gosney. Her childhood was spent at whaling stations in the Queen Charolotte Islands, Victoria, and finally at Moss Landing, Calif. Later she married Fred J. Vallier on April 07, 1935, in Santa Cruz, Calif. They lived in Watsonville, Calif., where their only child, Fred J. Vallier Jr. was born.

Marion had five sisters: Nellie, Ina, Beatrice, Ilene and Victoria. There were also four brothers: Raymond, Claude, Victor and Alfred. Marion’s family, including 44 nieces and nephews, were one of the great joys of her life. None of her siblings survives her, but her nieces and nephews came to Ames to celebrate both her 90th and 95th birthdays.

She and Fred enjoyed the Senior Center of Ames. They were active members of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship and the AARP Senior Program. They both enjoyed gardening, camping, and moving to Iowa. They were wonderful neighbors.

She is survived by her son Fred James Vallier, Jr. and daughter- in-law, Jane Vallier, two beloved grandsons, Jeff of Seoul, South Korea, and Robb of Phoenix, Ariz; great-grandson, Darwin Lee Vallier of Seoul; great-granddaughter and namesake, Vivian Grace of Seoul, and great-granddaughter-in law, Su Yong Lee and her extended family in Korea.
