*Washington State Marriages.

1919- 1920

1973, July 24 -  Vince was 55 years young when he died. 

Margie was left with lots of life and a need to work.  She started her own company and worked very hard.  She contracted with several large department stores to be their bill collector.  She eventually sells the company to a Canadian who bankrupts the company. 

She continued to be a wonderful loving grandmother to three children.  Vincent J. Thyng II,  Marc-Allen & Kristen.

About 1989 she meets a wonderful man, Warren White.  Warren was an interesting individual in his own right.  He had been raised on a farm in the Snohomish River valley and was largely on his own from the age of 16.  He enlisted in the Sixth Marine division in WW II and was part of the amphibious landing force on Okinawa on Easter morning of 1945. He was wounded in battle and received the Purple Heart while the Sixth Division received the Presidential Unit citation.  He returned to become a locomotive engineer on the Great Northern Railroad (now Burlington Northern) for 47 years. He had three children by his previous marriage - Warren W. White, Richard P. White, and dau. Cheryl White.  He retired in 1970. He bought and developed his own ranch in between trips.  He loved his horses and took them backpacking into the Cascades, especially into the area around Winthrop.  Somehow he also found the time to learn to fly a plane which he kept at the Snohomish Airport.  This is where he met Margie who came to eat lunch at the airport diner.  [Obituary Nov 29, 2015, Seattle Times]


1991  Warren and Margie marry.  They had many adventures.  They took their honeymoon on a horseback trip for two weeks into the Cascades.  Margie was not so used to horses and had to learn the ropes the hard way. 

Much more recently they drove their motor home on Elks Caravans to many national locations.  Warren finally sold the plane when he was about 85 but until that he point he had to fly to maintain his license.
