Mayme Sylvia Price

On June 29th, just three days short of her 90th birthday, Mayme Sylvia Price passed away in Helena, Montana where she had been living in her own apartment in a senior living community since October 2009.
Born in Dublin Township on July 2, 1921 to Charles and Signe Fay, Mayme grew up just north of Williston, North Dakota on the family homestead.
She attended country schools through eighth grade and graduated from Williston High School.
After high school, she lived with her Aunt Selma in the Seattle area and worked as a nanny.
Upon returning to Williston, she married
Robert M. Price on December 1, 1941.
In January of 1942, the young couple moved to San Francisco.
Mayme loved living close to the center of the city and being able to walk to her job as cashier in the Emporium Department Store’s bank.
In 1948 the couple returned to Williston, ND at which time Bob started Price Refrigeration.
Mayme, always a partner in all of the couple’s business ventures, was the bookkeeper.
They also owned Andy’s Bakery and Cafe in downtown Williston for a short time around 1950.
Mayme managed and worked in the cafe.
Mayme was a dedicated mother to her two children, Penny Lee, and Steven Lynn.
Always active in their activities, she was a Bluebird and Campfire Girl leader and Boy Scout den mother.
She encouraged them to do their best and she was heard to say more than once, “If something is worth doing, it is worth doing right.”
She packed many a picnic basket for family boating outings and gatherings at the Price family cabin on Lake Sakakawea.
She was well known beyond her family for her peanut brittle, brownies and gingersnaps.
Her cookie jar was always full.
Mayme’s quiet, gentle manner hid her fearless, adventuresome spirit. China, Israel, Mexico, Alaska and the Panama Canal were among the places she traveled to.
She rode on a roller coaster with her grandson, Jarvis, when she was 85.
Last summer at 89, she rode on a giant inner tube behind the family motor boat with her two great grandchildren.
Mayme and Bob wintered in Mesa, Arizona for 20 years where they enjoyed dancing and golfing.
Reading books, her daily walk and playing cards were among her favorite activities.
Mayme was an avid bridge player.
In her retirement, she volunteered at the First Lutheran Church and in the gift shop at the Mercy Hospital in Williston.
Mayme was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Robert, her sister, Irene Westerso, and her brother, Acey Fay.
She is survived by her daughter, Penny (Richard Swanson) of Helena and her son Steven (Karla) of Williston; her grandsons, Jarvis Price (Kimberly) of St. Paul, Minnesota and Alexander Swanson of Eugene, Oregon; her great-grandchildren, Breanna and Kaleb Price.
She is also survived by her brother, Charles Fay (Eileen) of Bismarck and many cherished nieces and nephews.
Mayme Price was a devoted wife and mother.
We will miss her gentle ways, her subtle sense of humor and, most of all, her love and support.
She was much loved.
A memorial service will take place in Williston, North Dakota in August.
Details to be announced at a later time.
Donations in her name may be sent to the Williston Public Library, 1302 Davidson Dr., Williston, ND 58801.
