A memorial service will be held later for Margie Buck Todd Griffith of Yuma, Ariz., and Eugene, who died March 10 of congestive heart failure. She was 90.
Griffith was born Sept. 5, 1911, in Manley Hot Springs, Alaska, to Samuel and Hattie Jones Buck. She and her family moved to Eugene in 1932 and operated a fox farm.
Griffith attended Oregon State College in Corvallis, where she was a member of the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority. She earned a degree in home economics.
She married George Todd, bought the fox farm from her parents' estate and started subdividing the land into what is now the Acorn Park subdivision. Her husband died shortly after.
Griffith formed and managed the Hawkins Hill Water District to distribute water for the area west of the Eugene city limits. She also purchased property south of West 18th Avenue and developed the Greiner Subdivision and the Todd Subdivision, and continued extending Acorn Park north of West 18th Avenue almost to Bailey Hill Road.
She met her current husband, Robert Griffith, when he bought a speculation lot from her. Since 1988, Griffith and her husband wintered in Yuma and summered in Eugene.
Griffith was a member of the Eugene Fuchsia and Begonia Society and belonged to Eugene Friends Church.
Survivors include her husband.
A memorial service will be held in Eugene this summer. Yuma Mortuary is in charge of arrangements.
Margie’s ashes are in Rest Haven Cemetery in Eugene, Oregon, with her parents and 1st husband, George Todd. She died in Yuma AZ, and she was cremated there. She already had a plot in Rest Haven with her parents, so U. Bob brought the ashes from Yuma, and had the container buried in her plot.
