Our entire family sends our thoughts to the Quincey and Siliga families. Carolee was a kind and generous woman. I was proud to know her. God Bless.
Darryl, Jan, Russell, Darryn, Mary, Chuck,
I’m so sorry for your loss. Carolee was such a wonderful person, always warm and gracious to all of us who were privileged to be part of her family or circle of friends. I feel lucky to have had several visits with her not long before her passing. We’ll all miss her greatly, but can feel fortunate that she was in our lives.

Dear Darryl, Jan, Darryn, and Russell, I so loved Carolee-so many wonderful childhood memories of our visits. I feel blessed to have been able to see her last June and visit and catch-up. It was wonderful to see all of you and Josh and Lena as well and meet Christie too. Sending love and hugs to all of you-my heart will be with you tomorrow. Andrea
Darryn,Kristi too I’m so sorry to hear about your mother’s passing. I am keeping the family in my thoughts and prayers at this very sad time.
Darryl,
We were so saddened by Carolee’s passing. She was the most encouraging person at the home; always smiling, upbeat and open to sharing life stories. Please know we are praying for you as you walk through this loss.

I just wanted to take a moment to say how sorry I am to hear of Mrs. Quincey’s passing. I was a student at Mt. View Elementary many years ago, and she was my crossing gaurd, lunch and recess teacher. When I think of Mt. View, I think of her. She was such a kind lady, and was one of my very favorite teachers. She is still so clear in my memory. I’m very sorry for your loss. My prayers are with her family.
Darryl, Russ, Darryn and Jan,
Dear friends, I am so sorry to hear of Carol’s passing. Carol and I had such great time while working together at Mt. View. What a surprise, about 25 years later, to find her Mom living in the room next to my Mom at Renton Villa. They became good friends like Carol and I had become. You will be in my prayers during this difficult time. God bless you all, Virginia and Don Holm
Darrell and family, I have such fond memories of Carol. We went to the pool each morning to swim and excersise, we worked at Mt.View together and she was truly a wonderfully kind lady and a dear friend. Your house was our retreat during our lunch and breaks when we both worked at Mt. View. My husband Bert sends his love also and remembers Carol as his crossing guard, lunch lady and all around wonderful employee and friend. We have both often thought and spoke about just how kind and considerate she was. We will miss her and we send our love and prayers. Bert & Barb
Darryn and Family, we fondly rememeber your mother as she was; funny, smileing. May God be with you and yours during this Season. Love, Frank and Greta Falkner
Darryn….. you know it was your Mom who paved the way for you and I to meet. In a round about way. I am so grateful for that. All my love and prayers are sent your way.
I certainly feel richer for having known Carol, even for such a short time. My heart and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time.
Uncle Darryl, Russ, Jan and Darryn:
Many blessings to you and your families. We will be with you in our thoughts and prayers..
Love Bob & Kandi
Mom, We all are going to miss you. You will be remembered for your kindness and thoughtfulness. The kids will miss their cards with dollars in them at every Holiday. Your smiling face will never leave our memory!!

I was one of kids of the neighborhood who met Mrs Quincy (Carol ) everyday to go to school. I have many good memories and know Carol was a friend to many.
