About Marie Lamfrom
For decades, Marie gave to the people of her city and state through her numerous volunteer efforts and support of community causes.
She served in World War I as a nurse at the age of 18. At the end of the war, she returned home to Germany and married Paul, then had three daughters. As the Nazis rose to power, Marie and her family fled to Portland, Oregon.
Without a doubt, Marie left behind a tremendous legacy.
