IDA MARRIOTT The last child born to Mary and Charles was a beautiful brown-eyed daughter. She had dark-brown, curly hair that her mother kept in beautiful ringlets during here childhood. She was born January 16, 1912, at the family home in Ogden. They chose the name of Ida since Charles and Mary both had a sister by that name and added Virginia as a second names. Ida Virginia Marriott was affectionately called various names by her father such as: Ginger, Black-eyed Pick-a-Pie, and Pansy. At the early age of three, her parents realized that their daughter was endowed with a special talent in music. Sitting at the piano keyboard, she would play by ear the familiar tunes she heard on phonograph records. This was a delight to her family and relatives. Later, she was given piano lessons for a short period of time. Her teacher would play the next lesson for Ida to hear, and on returning home, Ida could play perfectly the entire assignment for the next week. Supposing her to be reading by notes, the teacher never realized that Ida was playing by ear until Ida played one of her pieces in an entirely different key. Needless to say, during her young years, Ida was called on daily to entertain family, relatives and friends. When she was sixteen years of age, she was playing the pump organ for church services in the Ogden Seventh Ward. During her high school years, she entertained classmates daily in the gymnasiumplaying requests for some while others danced to her music. Also at sixteen she was engaged to play piano in the Hadley Orchestra. Being too young to drive a car, her father transported her to the dance engagementssome as far away as West Weber. After graduating from high school in 1931, she worked at the telephone company in order to fulfill a dream of owning her own baby grand piano. This was done with the advice and help of a noted concert pianist, Frederick Dixon. Mr. Dixon had recently moved to Ogden, and Ida became one of his first students in Utah. Frederick soon realized Ida's special talent as well as her gift of perfect pitch. He said of her: "Had I been able to teach her when she was a child, she could have been a concert pianist." Mr. Dixon became a personal friend of the family and was often invited to dinners at the family home. He enjoyed his association with the Marriotts as they did his. He featured Ida in several recitals at the Hotel Ben Lomond in the Crystal Ballroom. Ida left the phone company to enter Weber College where she enjoyed some music classes under the noted Ogden composer, Roland Parry. She increased her knowledge of composers and compositions and continued to develop the fine taste and style which she exhibits today. She worked for a time as personnel director at the Ogden Defense Depot while continuing to play with several dance bands in
