Mary Dorothy (Tracey) Marsonette Basha
October 18, 1918 December 25, 2012

SPRINGFIELD Dorothy Tracey, 94, was born on October 18, 1918 as the fourth child of Bernard and Letha Tracey on homestead land near Weldon, Dawson County, Mont. When she was about seven years old, her family moved by train to a two-room cabin near Coram, Mont, where she was able to attend school. Dorothy loved the beautiful, care-free days of life on the prairie where she developed a real passion and appreciation of nature. Throughout her life she enjoyed studying plants, rocks and birds. She loved to take walks in the forest and on the beach to observe sea life. The Tracey family moved to Columbia Falls, Mont., when Dorothy was a teenager and graduated from high school at St. Matthews School in nearby Kalispell. She and Wallace Marsonette were married in Whitefish, Mont., on September 8, 1939 and moved to Chinook, Mont. While living in Chinook they had nine children. In 1959 the family moved to Scotts Mills. Sadly, in 1963 Wallace passed away. Dorothy married Dale Taylor in 1968 and she and the younger children moved to Dale's home in Springfield where they started a fuchsia and geranium nursery. Dorothy loved to work with flowers and together they had a very rewarding and successful business. Dale passed away in 1986. In 1988 Dorothy met and married Bill Draper. They did many exciting things together, such as taking bird-watching classes at Lane Community College, and traveling in their motor home to the northern reaches of Alaska and south to Mexico with Dorothy's brother, Robert and his wife, Darlene. They spent many winter months in their motor home near Yuma, Ariz. Bill Draper passed away in 1996. Dorothy met and married Joe Basha in 1997. Joe passed away several years ago. In 2003, when she was 84-years old, Dorothy decided to write a book about her life, to pass on to her children. Her 229-page hardback book entitled, "The Journey," was published in 2004. Dorothy always had a positive attitude and looked for the best in everything and everybody. She had a zest for learning and exploration, and loved to travel. Some of her foreign trips include Rarotonga, New Zealand, Wales, Ireland, England, Scotland, Canada, Mexico and the Bahamas. She also had a love of singing and often broke into song with one of the 'oldies but goodies.' One of her favorite games was 'Spite and Malice' and, even at 94, she was a consistent winner. Swimming and water fitness with her friends was a favorite social event. Dorothy is survived by her brother, Robert and his wife, Darlene and all nine of her children: Wayne Marsonette and Sandy (Oregon City); Robert Marsonette and Sue (Olathe, Kan.); Theresa Mellott and John (Salem); Glenn Marsonette and Pat (Eugene); Ruth Ewald and Greg (Silverton); Donna Ruscitti (Portland); Vern Marsonette and Sheila (Springfield); Judy Allen and Randy (Eugene); and Jay Marsonette and Krista (Aloha). Dorothy has left a legacy of numerous grandchildren, as well as great and great-greatgrandchildren. She is preceded in death by her sisters, Florence Wolvington and Marjorie Kollenborn.
