Virginia Fifer
Virginia Fifer passed away Friday, September 15, 2023 in Spokane Valley, Washington. She was the fourth child of Frank and Mary Kaelber. Virginia was born in a log cabin in Inchelium on August 29, 1925. She attended Barnaby Creek school and Inchelium school where she would walk three miles to catch a bus.
Virginia married Robert Fifer, at the end of World War II and moved to Olympia where Robert was stationed at Fort Lewis. When Robert was sent to Japan with the Corp of Engineers, Virginia moved to Spokane where she worked in a parking garage. After Robert was discharged from the Army, Virginia and Robert moved back to Inchelium.
In 1959 Robert and Virginia purchased the family ranch on Barnaby Creek. Virginia raised a huge garden and provided food for the family. She was active on the Inchelium election board. One of her favorite hobbies was picking huckleberries. She was noted for the delicious pies she baked.
