THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14, 2017
Question: What advice would you give to a graduating senior?
“Stay fl exible. You’ll
have more opportu-
nities that way.”
“Don’t believe every-
thing you read or
hear. Investigate on
your own. Be an in-
dependent thinker.”
“I’d say to make sure
you work hard.
There’s no substitute
for hard work.”

THE DAILY ASTORIAN // QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Mary Marjolaine Bruer Truedson
Elizabeth May Lampien
Seaside
Dec. 10, 1922 — June 10, 2017
Hillsboro
Dec. 1, 1933 — June 7, 2017
Mary Marjolaine Bruer Truedson, known
by many as Marge, several by Granny T,
some by Auntie M, and fi ve by Mom, died in
her sleep June 10, 2017, in Seaside, Oregon.
She was born to Faye and Henry Bruer in
a logging camp in Kerry, Oregon, on Dec.
10, 1922, the wedding anniversary of her
soon-to-be favorite uncle, Bill, who left his
young wife that stormy night to drive a rail-
road handcar up the line to fetch the doctor
in a driving snowstorm.
Marge grew up dividing her time between
Clatsop and Columbia counties. She had one
brother, Wesley Bruer, who proceeded her in
death in 2013.
She graduated from St. Helens High
School in 1940, where she was well-known
for her art and roller skating skills. She lived
through the Great Depression, learning the
value of “waste not, want not.”
She married Carlton Purvis and together
they had three children: Carla, Marcia and
Mel. The marriage ended, and later she mar-
ried Donald Truedson, and they had two
more children: Patti and Paul.
Mary and Donald made their home in St.
Helens. Donald worked at “the paper mill.”
Besides being a wife and mother, Marge
painted, drew, sewed, crocheted and even
worked for Carl Brandenfel of Brandenfel’s
Baldness Scalp Hair Care Health Beauty
Toiletry. Marge didn’t work for the infamous
hair care division, she worked for Oregon
Holly, gift baskets and parcels.
She made everything from “Kissing
Balls,” made from pine cones and mistletoe,
to elaborate swags and baskets. She even
made a few designs of her own. She and her
coworkers often came away from work gig-
gling, “probably from the glue.”
After the last of her fi ve children gradu-
ated from St. Helens High School and Don-
ald retired, they sold their house and moved
to Seaside, where Marge devoted a great deal
of her time to painting. She took classes,
joined the Trail’s End Art Guild, and even
had a small room in a co-op where she sold
paintings, cards, rock people and sand dollar
Christmas ornaments, among other things.
She loved oil painting with brushes the best.
The couple traveled by air, rail, ship and
car all across the U.S. mainland, Mexico
and the Hawaiian Islands. Donald preceded
Marge in death in 2006.
Marge is survived by her fi ve children,
and several grandchildren, great-grand-
children, and even a couple great-great
grandchildren.
No funeral is scheduled. Any memorial
donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s
Association.
