Obituary
Mae Allbright
Passed away peacefully at home at Alki where she has lived since 1941. Her loving husband of 57 years, Jim, died in 1996, infant great granddaughter, Nicole, in 1984 and she was preceded in death by her sister, Norma, and her brothers, George and Ted.
Her family includes daughters Norma, Rod and Marlene, brothers Roy and Howard DeBritz, sister Eleanor Schaefer, 5 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.
Mae loved her family, her friends and her place at Hood Canal. Swimming was her favorite pastime; she spent most of her life close to the water. She was born on Orcas Island and grew up in Seattle near Lake Washington.
We will miss her terrific sense of humor, her zest for life and her generous spirit. Services will be held at BONNEY-WATSON Washington Memorial Park, 16445 International Blvd., Seatac, WA 206 242-1787 on Saturday, May 19th at 10:00 am. Memorials may be made to Children’s Hospital.
Aunt Mae,
I believe our entire family saw the “Grandma Christine” side of Mae. I will miss this motherly side as well as the silly, spirited side of Mae. Always up for the next opportunity in life, Aunt Mae was an inspiration, an outstanding example of living a full life, while being involved in so many of our lives. We will truly miss you.
Ron Schaefer Nancy & Sarah too
There is no question in my mind that the world is truly less without Mae Allbright in it. She was one of the most decent and kind people I have ever met. Her sense of humor was always at the ready. I can remember laughing with her about something funny until tears streamed down our cheeks. Mae had this really unique quality about her that seemed to emanate from not only her generation but of today’s generation as well. She seemed to have a savy reflected both the past and the present. Words cannot express my sadness at her passing and my heart goes out to Marlene, Chris, Danielle and all of Mae’s family. I am sorry for your loss.
Norma I am so sorry for your loss. It is so hard to lose our mothers, they are a very special part of our lives, no matter how old we are. Just remember that love that is in your heart will never go away, never.
My heart goes out to you and a big hug. Love B.J.
To my dearest mom:
Everyone who met you loved you. You lit up the room with your smile. I’ve never known anyone so giving and so happy to be with family and friends. You are irreplaceable. My heart is broken. You were the sweetest, most beautiful person, and I will love you and miss you forever.
