Marian Fitts, 66, of Monmouth died on Nov. 28, 2020. Marian was born in Salem, Oregon on Aug. 3, 1954. She graduated from Central High School in 1972 and attended Oregon College of Education (now WOU). She then married and moved to Nuremberg, Germany where her son, Arron Randall Boham was born in 1976. Returning to Oregon and the Monmouth/Independence area to raise her son, she later married her husband Robert D. Fitts and recently celebrated their 39th wedding anniversary. Life was busy for Marian as she was always taking care of her family, children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. She was known as Tanteâ (German for Aunt) and loved spending time with children; she was like a second mom to many. Over the years Marian had a variety of careers including her first job at Jim Smith Realty, Insurance Companies, the State of Oregon, the Oregon Marionberry Commission and Windermere Commercial Real Estate. Being an entrepreneur and a love of flowers, she opened Rainbow Country Flowers & Gifts in Monmouth, she and her husband Bob ran Airways Aircraft Refinishing for over 25 years, and she most recently retired from her 20+ year career as a local real estate agent. Her final venture and passion of the arts called Made Marian flourished into lovely handmade greeting cards and specialty arts & crafts where she held workshops to share her creative visions with others.
