Remembering Marilyn Wentela, 1933-2026
Marilyn Wentela, born in 1933 in rural Wisconsin, grew up in a family that moved 10 times before she finished high school. She later settled in Seattle with her family in 1952, where she worked at Marshall Wells Hardware and met her husband George at the old Rainier Lanes bowling alley. Marilyn stopped working to raise their three children, but returned to the workforce when her youngest was five.
