Obituary
Born 12/30/1916 in Seattle, WA & passed away 12/05/2009 in Burien, WA. Proceeded in death by her loving husband of 55 years, Andrew, & daughter, Andra Bosch. Survived by sons, Gary of Kent, WA & Andy & Carlene of Portland, OR; grandchildren, Debbie Bosch-Gravel, Tammy Cimmery, Dawna Tarrant, Rico, Dino, & Drew Traverso; & 7 great-grandchildren. She loved to work in her flower & vegetable garden, was an avid Bingo player, & donated time at the library helping young kids with their reading skills. She was a nurse’s aide in her earlier years helping the sick. The last of a generation, she was one of nine children. You’re all together again in God’s hands, brothers, sisters, spouses, & friends. ‘God saw that Mom was getting tired & the cure was not to be. So He put His arms around Mom & whispered ‘Come with Me’. With tearful eyes we watched Mom fade away. A life fulfilled. Although we loved her dearly, we could not make her stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.’
Love Always. May God Be With You.
