Obituary of Marie T. Oeth
Please share a memory of Marie to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Marie Thayer Oeth, age 68, of Misty Hollow Lane, Beech Mountain, died Sunday, June 12, 2011. Born April 18, 1943 in Massachusetts, she was a daughter of the late Phillips and Hortense Lamb Thayer.
For over thirty years she was a Certified Dental Assistant and then she became a Dental Implant Surgical Assistant. She lectured at Holy Cross Hospital in Ft. Lauderdale and appeared on local television speaking about dental implants. After retiring, she wanted to start a catering company and take up golf. Due to health reasons, both were put on hold while she fought the beast; we called Cancer the beast. One of her greatest wishes was for ALL women to get a simple blood test for Ovarian Cancer detection- called a CA-125.
All cancer centers in this country use it to monitor ovarian cancer and many family doctors say it is not needed or not accurate. If she had had her test with her physical 5 months earlier, she would be alive today as it would have been found at stage 2.
The love of our entire family has passed and our hearts are broken. I love and I will forever miss (pumpkin) my great love. Your Husband.
Marie Thayer Oeth is survived by her husband, Murray A. Oeth, Jr., son John E. Tuggle, sister Shirley Dunn, nieces Carol Harvey and Phyllis Dunn, nephews John, Russ and Kenny Dunn, sister-in-law Karen Bond and brother-in-law Jim Bond.
