human rights groups that she was not involved in," said her granddaughter. "Her personal crusades were against drivers crossing the yellow line, restaurants wasting water, and litter. When she saw trash tossed on the ground, she picked it up."

Mrs. [Marie Waldron] Inslee had an artistic side. She self-published a book of poetry, Light and Shadow, in 2002, played the piano, and was an accomplished painter. She collected antiques, jewelry, napkins and stray dogs.

Mrs. Inslee was a teacher until the end.
