In Loving Memory

Charlane J. Engelhardt

Born Charlane Jean Doyle in Seattle, WA in April 1944 Char was raised in Fremont and as a child was a frequent visitor to the pony rides at Woodland Park Zoo. She lived with her aunt Bernie, and cousins Janet and Linda, for a time. She attended Holy Angels High School and graduated from Lincoln High School in 1962.

In November of 1962 Char married Leo Engelhardt and they were together for 60 years until his passing in 2022. They had four children: Jim, Tony (Tiffany), Andy (Cindi), and Janell (Justin) and seven grandchildren: Logan, Taegla, Brenna, Kingsley, Noah, Luke, and Ava. Leo and Char also opened their hearts and home to three of Leo’s sister’s children: Mike, Barbara, and Donna Lytle.

Char was very active in her younger years. In her late 20’s she played on the Univac Football, full tackle moms’ league where she was known as ‘Evil Engelhardt’. She was in a bowling league in the 1970’s and took up racewalking in the 1980’s. Char and her friend Darlene would regularly racewalk around Greenlake.

Char’s working life was spent in medical offices. Starting as an office admin at Dr. Sullivan’s office at Northgate and then as a medical billing clerk for Puget Sound Cancer Center. But her real career was in her volunteer work.

Char was very involved in Pacific Northwest Track and Field serving as a meet official, Youth Regional Coordinator, and Youth Treasurer spanning time from the 1970’s until she retired from her volunteer work in 2022. She made some of her closest friends through track. Volunteering with track gave Char the opportunity to go on trips to places like Korea, Japan, the 1994 Olympic games in Los Angeles, and more trips to Oregon and Eastern Washington than she could count.

The family had many trips together including many to Montana to visit the DeMink cousins and often to celebrate Thanksgiving with them. The DeMinks and Engelhardts also went on many trips together including Priest Lake, Idaho and Mt. Rainier. There were also a few trips to California to visit the Dubeau cousins, most notably in 1974 and in 1984. Since 2004 the highlight trip every year was the Engelhardt Family Vacation with all her kids and grandkids to Mt. Baker or Plain, WA. The last family trip was in 2025.

Her final years were spent quietly at home with visits from her children and grandchildren, watching the backyard birds and squirrels, and observing the mountains from her window. She passed quietly after only 2 days in the hospital, surrounded by her children and grandchildren on June 3, 2026.

She was known for her classy, unique clothing, vast quantities of cookies and the best pie crusts. Survivors include her husband Ken, brother Grant Eidsness, sons Mark and Matt Liscom, daughter Renee’ Morgan (Claude), grandchildren Kirk (Carissa) Liscom, Kyle (Sauren) Liscom, Rachel Morgan (Ben), Carly Alling (Zach), Andrew Liscom, Nathan Liscom (Sophia), along with many nieces, nephews and friends.

The Old Rugged Cross

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,

The emblem of suff’ring and shame,

And I love that old cross where the Dearest and Best

For a world of lost sinners was slain. So, I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,

Till my trophies at last I lay down;

I will cling to the old rugged cross,

And exchange it some day for a crown.

Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,

Has a wondrous attraction for me;

For the dear Lamb of God left his glory above,

To bear it to dark Calvary.

In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,

A wondrous beauty I see;

For ‘‘twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,

To pardon and sanctify me.

John 15:12

Anything that matters

Anything that matters is here. Anything that will continue to matter

Approaching in the distance is the child you were some years ago.

See her laughing as she chases a white butterfly.

William "Bill" Sherman

With his family gathered around him at his longtime home in Shoreline, Washington, William “Bill” Fredrick Sherman passed peacefully into heaven on May 28, 2026, at the age of 98.

Bill was born at home in Ballard, Washington on March 3, 1928 to Fredrick “Fred” and Florence Sherman. His only sibling was his brother Richard who was nine years younger. Bill grew up in Seattle’s Greenlake neighborhood where he had a newspaper stand during the war years. He also worked at Boeing “bucking rivets in B-17s,” as he described it. He attended John Marshall Elementary School and graduated from Roosevelt High School. His father was a brickmason and Bill worked alongside him, learning the trade at an early age. In the late fifties, Bill took the first computer programming class offered in the Seattle area which led to a career as the data processing manager for Tradewell Stores.

Raised in a Christian home, Bill embraced a personal faith in God at an early age and remained devoted to the Lord throughout his life. He raised his family in that same faith, attending Westgate Chapel in Edmonds from its opening in 1959. Bill served in the Royal Rangers program and participated in other ministry opportunities over the years. His deep trust in God was evident in his prayers, his conversations, and the encouragement he offered to family and friends. He often spoke of God's faithfulness and reminded those around him to place every concern "in God's hands."

A chance meeting at the Arabian Theater on Aurora Avenue with a young lady by the name of Shirley Rossman led to an elopement just two years later. They were happily married for 55 years.

Shirley’s parents had a cabin on Lummi Island north of Bellingham and they enjoyed many days there in the early part of their marriage. Years later they bought their own property on Lummi Bay and weekends were often spent camping at the beach property. Later they had the shell of a cabin built and over the next few years, Bill, his sons and other family and friends completed the cabin.

Other summer pursuits usually involved a variety of outdoor adventures, always with family, including camping, fishing and backpacking in the Cascade Mountains, as well as many long car trips exploring the Western US.

In the mid-seventies, they bought a timeshare on the island of Kauai and began to visit the Hawaiian islands frequently. They semi-retired there in 1987, although it was not a normal retirement, as they had bought a donut shop on Kauai which the family owned and operated until 1990. After that, they divided their time between Kauai and the Pacific Northwest.

Sadly, Shirley passed away in 2004 after a brave battle with cancer. Bill joined a grief support group at Westgate Chapel where he met Janice Putnam who had also recently lost her spouse. They began dating and were married on Kauai in 2005. Bill said that “she gave me a new lease on life.” Bill and Janice also split their time between the Pacific Northwest and Kauai where they made many friends. Their marriage was marked by 20 years of love, faith, and devotion.

Bill was bitten by the travel bug early in life as his father had been a merchant marine and told many stories of his time in the South Pacific. Bill made multiple trips to the South Pacific with both Shirley and Janice. They visited places such as Micronesia, the Cook Islands and Samoa, as well as New Zealand and Australia, making many friends along the way. They preferred the less traveled, more remote islands. In later years, he and Janice enjoyed taking many cruises, his favorite being the one through the Panama Canal.

An avid Seattle sports fan, Bill enjoyed watching the Sonics, Mariners and Seahawks. He was a charter season ticket holder of the Seahawks and had season tickets for their first twenty-five years.

Bill was preceded in death by his parents; his brother, Richard; his first wife, Shirley; his sons-in-law, Bill White and Marty Clare; and his great-grandson, Rory Ober. He is survived by his wife, Janice; his children, Leanne Clare, Gayle White, Darryll (Lily) Sherman, Keith Sherman; and his beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Bill will be greatly missed, but we know he’s in a better place with our Lord and that we will see him again.

A celebration of life service will be held this Friday, June 12, at 2:00pm, at Beck’s Funeral Home in Edmonds, Washington.

Joyce E. Barry

Joyce E. Barry our beloved mom and grandma died peacefully on May 29th, 2026, with her family by her side. Despite experiencing a stroke several years earlier, her infectious love for life, adventurous spirit, and fiercely independent personality stayed with her to the end. Joyce was born December 15th, 1937, in Kirkland, WA as the first of three children to Robert and Catherine Barry of Carnation, WA. Joyce loved growing up on the family farms in Duvall and Carnation, and fondly recalled many memories of milking cows, riding horses, and ice skating on the family lake. After graduating from Holy Names Academy in Seattle, she completed her studies with a degree in Spanish from Marylhurst College in Oregon. Joyce worked as a corrections officer at the King County Jail for over 25 years, retiring in 1997 to spend more time with her grandchildren, travel the world, and live life to the fullest. A longtime resident of Mountlake Terrace, she served 8 years on the city council and was active in various civic and church clubs locally. She had many passions in life, but nothing was more important to her than family and her Catholic faith. Her boisterous laugh, love of music, and larger-than-life personality will be remembered fondly by her family, her many friends, and all who knew her. Joyce is survived by her son Michael Ramsey (Brenda), grandchildren Julie (Wyatt) and Kevin, her daughter Elizabeth Barry, grandson Michael, her brother Robert, and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents and sister, Roberta. A requiem mass in the traditional Latin rite will be celebrated at North American Martyrs Catholic Church 9924 232nd St SW Edmonds, WA, 90820 on Monday June 15th, 2026, at 11am.

Bernard John Goldman

Bernard John Goldman passed away unexpectedly on February 6, 2026 in Seattle, Washington, at the age of 82.

Bernie was born on February 18, 1943 in Odanah, Ashland County, Wisconsin on the Bad River Indian Reservation, to Bernice Barbano and Joseph M. Goldman. His Aunts and Uncles helped his single mom raise him. He was a proud member of the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community of the Lake Superior Band of Chippewa Indians.

Bernie graduated in 1961 from DePadua High School. His classmates knew him as John and gave him the nickname “Bear.” He enjoyed playing football and was in other activities including choir. Shortly after graduation, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. Bernie was honorably discharged after three years of dedicated service - a service he spoke of with lifelong pride.

Following his military service, Bernie moved to Chicago, where he met Donna Hendricks. They married in 1966 and welcomed their daughter, Michelle, two years later. In 1970 Bernie moved his family to Missoula, Montana so he could connect with his father and pursue higher education at The University of Montana. He earned his Bachelor’s degree in Accounting in 1974 and went on to receive his Juris Doctorate in 1977 from the UM Law School. Bernie practiced law alongside his father in their successful firm, Goldman and Goldman. His marriage to Donna ended in 1984. During the 1980s, Bernie had several brief relationships. One relationship led to the birth of his son, Devlin Murray, in 1986.

A series of events in 1987 brought significant change to Bernie’s life (if you know you know). He began a new chapter in the Seattle area in 1990, establishing a delivery business. He reconnected with Linda Wikstrom in 1995 and she joined him in Seattle and was with him until the end. Bernie had many friends, an active social life, and countless adventures with Linda including international travel.

Bernie was an avid football fan throughout his life. He especially loved cheering for the Green Bay Packers, Seattle Seahawks, and Montana Grizzlies.

Bernie is survived by his partner of the last 30 years, Linda Wikstrom, and her children Jennifer (Tushar) Devidayal and William (Birgit) Wikstrom IV; his ex-wife Donna Hendricks with whom he remained friends; daughter Michelle Avery; son Devlin (Brooke) Murray; grandchildren Patricia (Daniel) Johnsen, Nicole Johnsen, Vada Murray, Evan Murray, Sanjeet Devidayal, Katelyn Devidayal, Lisa Wikstrom and Anika Wikstrom; brother Joe Goldman; half-brother David (Nancy) Lindmeir; and many nieces and nephews.

Bernie is preceded in death by his parents; half-brothers Paul Goldman and Barry Goldman; and son-in-law Mark Avery.

A small graveside service with military honors will be held on June 17, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at the Missoula City Cemetery.
