Obituary
Kathleen Lynn Ranetta
Kathy passed away June 2nd at the University of Washington Medical Center surrounded by her family. She was 52 and had been diagnosed with lung cancer a few months before. Thirty-one years of her life were spent working at The Bon Marche’s Distribution Center. There she organized many potlucks, pulled a few practical jokes, and made many friends smile. Gardening was her passion, as was donating various bulbs to others’ gardens as well. This was matched with her love for sunshine, as you could find her attached to her lawn chair nearly every summer day. Singer Josh Groban, Stuffed frogs, and email were interests, and not to forget her favorite TV show, COPS. She is survived by her son Ryan, sisters Judy and Diane, nephews Michael, Skyler and Tyson, and niece Lacey. Her sister Sue preceded her in death. The funeral was Thursday, June 10th at Glendale Evangelical Lutheran Church in Burien. Interment followed at Holyrood Catholic Cemetery in Shoreline. She will be remembered.

I was a long time friend of Kathy’s. Sorry to hear of her passing.
I enjoyed working with Kathy at The Bon Marche. She will be missed.
