Carrolls mark 50th

The celebration was hosted by their two sons and their wives, Chuck and Lynn, Bellingham, and Jay and Jill, Yakima, and their six grandchildren.

Chuck Carroll and Marlene Schumacher were married Sept. 5, 1959, in Colfax.

Both graduated from Colfax High School and Chuck graduated from Washington State University with a degree in science and math.

His first teaching and coaching job was in Oak Harbor where they lived for four years.

They moved back to Colfax so Chuck could finish his master’s degree at WSU. He taught math and was an assistant coach for football, basketball, track, cross-country and golf at Colfax High School.

Marlene worked as a hairdresser.

Both retired in 1998.
