Dan Lohman

Daniel (Dan) Lohman passed away on October 17, 2026, after a long and courageous fight with thyroid cancer. He spent his final day surrounded by his loving family, with his sisters singing him home to Jesus.

Dan was born in Seattle to Clyde and Carolyn Lohman and grew up in Ballard as the oldest of five children. He shared a childhood full of cherished memories with his younger brother, Gary, and three sisters, Debbie, Pam, and Becky. Their busy, close-knit family life centered on church, family, and friends.

While attending Pacific Lutheran University after high school, Dan met Charlotte Larson, who would become his beloved wife of 56 years. Their first date was over french fries and a Coke - the beginning of a lifetime together. Dan’s love for Charlotte was endless.

In 1968, Dan was drafted into the Army and served in Vietnam. He and Charlotte married in Hawaii during his R&R leave. Following their wedding, Dan returned to Vietnam, where he served with honors and received multiple medals, including Bronze Stars for valor.

After his military service, Dan graduated from Portland State University and began a lifelong career as a business owner and entrepreneur. He and Charlotte made their home in Edmonds for more than 50 years, raising their two children, Andrew and Gretchen, whom he adored.

Dan found joy in working hard and taking care of others. He treated everyone he met with kindness, making people feel welcome and cared for. He could often be found tackling projects around the house, reading a good book, or enjoying a game of tennis and pickleball. In retirement, he and Charlotte traveled with dear friends and spent winters soaking up the sunshine in Palm Springs. He particularly enjoyed annual summer trips with the whole family, especially the grandchildren.

Dan leaves a legacy of love, faith, hard work, and devotion to his family. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.

To honor Dan, a Celebration of Life will be held on October 30th at 2:00 at Aurora Community Church in Shoreline, WA. We invite all who knew and loved Dan to join us in honoring him.

In lieu of flowers, consider making a donation to Everett Gospel Mission.

Jacqueline Mitchell

Jacqueline Mitchell was born on October 15, 1926, in Seattle, Washington, and passed away on October 6, 2026, at Angels Adult Family Home, where she had spent the last five years of her life.

After graduating from Ballard High School in 1944, Jacqueline began her career with Northern Pacific Railway. Her knowledge of Gregg shorthand helped her secure a good position—an opportunity that might otherwise have gone to a friend who did not possess that particular skill. She put her shorthand abilities to use for many years and continued writing in shorthand well into her 90s, a testament to her sharp mind and talents.

In 1957, Jacqueline moved to Sumner, Washington, as her husband began a manufacturing business. When life took a different turn, she returned to Seattle as a single mother and resumed her career with Northern Pacific Railway. In 1970, Northern Pacific merged with other railroads to form Burlington Northern, where she continued working until her retirement in 1991.

Retirement opened the door to a world of travel and discovery. Jacqueline loved exploring new places and experiencing different cultures. Her travels took her to Thailand, China, Hong Kong, Korea, Mexico, Hawaii, Denmark, Greece, Spain, and Portugal. She also enjoyed cruises to Alaska, Costa Rica, Panama, Mexico, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, and France.

One of her most memorable adventures was riding an elephant in Thailand, an experience that sparked a lasting love for elephants. Her travels fueled her curiosity about the world and her willingness to embrace new experiences.

Jacqueline had a special love for cats. Cats have been a part of her life since she was a young girl. The joy which cats brought to her life was unmatched. The easiest way to brighten Jacqueline’s day was to show her photos and videos of her past cats and her current great-grand cats.

Jacqueline also took pride in looking her best and had a style all her own. She was known for her signature bouffant hairstyle, beautifully done nails, lovely skin, and her love of jewelry. She enjoyed dressing up and adding those sparkly finishing touches that made her feel polished and ready for the day. Her appearance was part of her personality, and those who knew her, will fondly remember her always looking elegant and put together.

Jacqueline is survived by her two daughters, Suzanne Ries and Shaughn Kraft; four grandchildren, Briana (Paul), Travis (Megan), Brendan (Amanda), and Rochelle (Wesley); and four great-grandchildren, Zoey, Matthew, Ella, and Liam. She was preceded in death by her parents, Clarence and Edna Gross, her son-in-law, Jim Ries Jr., and her beloved cats.

Just nine days shy of her 100th birthday, Jacqueline leaves behind a remarkable legacy of independence, adventure, and family. Her life spanned nearly a century, filled with accomplishments, travels, and memories that will live on through the generations of family who loved her. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew her.

Jacqueline "Jacquie" Bailey Cole

Jacqueline “Jacquie” Bailey Cole, a lifelong artist, pioneering art teacher and devoted grandmother, died Oct. 3, 2026, at Sunrise Assisted Living in Edmonds, Washington. She was 92.

Jacquie was born in 1933 to Keith and Thelma Bailey and grew up in Flushing, Michigan. Her father was a banker, hardware store owner and insurance broker, and her mother was an avid gardener and a talented cook. Her brother, Bob, seven years her senior, became an architect, and she looked up to him her entire life. She loved her hometown and attended all 13 years of school in a single building, for a time just a block from home. Along the way, the family moved from town to a gentleman’s farm in the country, where she began raising horses. She graduated in 1951.

She spent two years at MacMurray College, a women’s college in Jacksonville, Illinois, which she chose for its horseback riding program, then transferred to Michigan State University, graduating in 1955 with a degree in interior design. She married Fritz Russell and worked briefly in the family hardware store before earning a master’s degree in art education from the University of Michigan.

Jacquie was one of the first art teachers for Flushing Community Schools, and for a time the only one. She spent many days driving from one rural schoolhouse to the next, a few of them one-room country schools, before the district consolidated into five modern elementary schools in the 1960s and 1970s. After her first marriage ended in divorce, she married landscape architect Bill Thomas, and they welcomed their son, Troy. Bill died six years into their marriage.

While teaching at Central Elementary School, she met its principal, Dr. K.C. Cole. They married in 1979 and dubbed their new chapter “R Nu Life,” an exciting fresh start for them both. It came with a bigger family, too: K.C.’s children, Jeff, Gregory and Caroline, and their children, and his many sisters and their families across the West. K.C. was a Montana native, and getting to know everyone meant many summers on the road, weeks of fun adventures and decades of Cole family reunions. They canoed and sailed, played tennis, skied downhill and cross-country, and even took a course in hot-air ballooning. Every car trip turned into hiking, camping and horseback riding in national parks across the country. They spent a week on a windjammer cruise off the coast of Maine and made two trips to Europe, all of it captured on home video, much to Jacquie’s chagrin.

Jacquie retired in 1987 after 30 years of teaching art, and the travel continued year-round. She and K.C. moved from Flushing to a home near Sugarloaf Mountain, outside the small town of Cedar in northern Michigan. There they took up golf, which quickly became an almost daily passion and led each of them to a coveted hole-in-one, just two months apart. Jacquie got hers first, and eight years later she made a second. They both also enjoyed volunteering and serving their community in many ways.

Art was never just her job. She moved through textiles in the 1960s, leatherwork in the 1970s, and stained glass in the 1980s and 1990s, always returning to drawing, sketching, watercolors and oils. Norman Rockwell was her favorite artist. In later years she made and collected greeting cards of every kind, with a special love for Christmas.

She was thrilled when Troy and Gina started their family, and she was at the hospital the day their son Zach was born. In 2009, she and K.C. bought a condo in Edmonds, Washington, to be closer to Zach and his brother, Cam, splitting their time between Edmonds and Cedar. Summers brought “summer camp at Grandma’s condo,” when the boys walked all over Edmonds with her and stopped each week at Edmonds Bakery for snickerdoodle cookies.

She was a lifelong member of the United Methodist Church wherever she lived and enjoyed her social clubs, including Lamplighters, and her dominoes league. She was also a staunch Republican, a devotion she inherited from her father. Artistic, witty and a loyal friend to many, she will be deeply missed.

Jacquie is survived by her son, Troy Thomas (Gina LumAng); stepdaughter, Caroline Obert (Keith); stepdaughters-in-law, Shirley Cole and Maria Cole; grandchildren, Zachary, Cameron, Shani, Shannon, Keely, Greg, Angela and John; 10 great-grandchildren; nieces, Debbie Love (Robert) and Anne McCauslin (John); nephews, Kirk Bailey (Dianne) and Brian Bailey (Jeri Lynn); and 11 grandnieces and grandnephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents; brother, Robert “Bob” (Patricia) Bailey; husbands, Fritz Russell, Bill Thomas and Dr. K.C. Cole; and stepsons, Gregory and Jeff Cole.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the American Cancer Society.

Barbara Anne Kleine

Following her graduation from high school, she entered the Convent of the Good Shepard. During that time, she attended St. Thomas University, an all-boys school, where she received her bachelor’s degree, graduating summa cm laude.

In 1978, Barbara met the love of her life, Sheldon Kleine. They married in Spokane on November 16 and moved to Edmonds, where they would remain for the rest of their lives together. Dedicated to offering guidance and assistance to those in need, both served in the mental health profession. Barbara spent the majority of her working life at Seattle Children’s Hospital. In her many years as a therapist, Barbara was a respected leader who developed and provided cutting edge treatments to complex clients, some of whom might be alive today due to her compassion and commitment. She was adored by clients and colleagues alike for her generous and kind spirit-she will be missed.

Barbara and Sheldon were joined by their daughter, Elizabeth, in 1981.

Barbara is remembered for her love of the arts, her passion for supporting others, and most especially, her love for her child and grandchild.

Patricia Knutson

In loving memory ofPatricia (Pat) Loma KnutsonOctober 18, 1923 - September 12, 2026She will leave a huge void in our lives, though filled with “happy” memories that she wished to be remembered by. For those of you that were unaware, she developed a heart condition that deteriorated over the last few months, causing her body to finally succumb to the inevitable. Over the last few months she was surrounded by her family and friends, celebrating her while she could enjoy it, how fortunate we all were.Pat was born over 102 years ago, though she’d never want anyone to know that! As her family, we were always proud of her and what she did throughout her wonderful life. Truly spectacular. Just as an example, she was doing Tai Chi into her 100’s! Her schedule was always full, she had more energy and zest for life than most, that’s for sure!She was born in Seattle, Washington to Ethel and Forrest Eaton. She grew up in a predominantly catholic community and always wished she was either Irish or Italian, though in reality Northern European and Scandinavian, mostly. As an example of that, we were sitting around the dinner table on her 99th birthday, asking her questions about her life. It was enlightening and pretty humorous! One of the questions was what was the most favorite country she’s traveled to. She answered “Ireland”. We all looked at each other, laughing and finally told her that she’d never been there! Didn’t phase her a bit, since in her heart she was Irish! She spent her early years in the Graham Hill neighborhood in South Seattle, with a short stint in San Diego during her military service, a majority of her life in the neighborhood of Innis Arden in Shoreline and her last 30+ years in Edmonds.She loved being an only child to her much loved parents.She graduated from Franklin High School, worked at KJR radio station, then joined her beloved Marines. She went across the country on a train with her best friend, Bernice Parker, for training, before they were stationed in San Diego. She met a man there from North Dakota, who soon became her husband, Elliot Knutson. They were happily married for over 50 years. Not long after being married they had a baby boy, Patrick Knutson. After that, they moved back to Seattle to be near her parents and family. Soon after returning to Seattle, they were blessed with the birth of their sweet daughter, Shirley. For the rest of her life she was a mother, one of the toughest and most important jobs you can take on. 10 years later another son was born, Dale. Around 16 years later, their daughter, Shirley, passed away and they adopted her daughter, Dana, and raised her as their own, along with her birth parents spirits to be the woman she is today. She had growing children in her home for over 40 years, now that’s some Mothering! Bet she went to more kids events than most! So proud when Patrick graduated from the University of Washington and the ROTC, though his time in Vietnam was very stressful as you could imagine. She just wanted her boy to be safe.All throughout these years she was busy supporting her husband in his banking and real estate career, playing golf, bowling, playing bridge, traveling, forming many lifelong relationships and taking care of her children’s needs.Pats zest for life was exemplified by her groups of friends and the many adventures they were involved with, whether it be coffee hours every week or traveling to places unknown, she was up for it all. One of the mottos from her mom that she frequently quoted was “if someone asks you to do something, do it!” That outlook on life opened up many great opportunities that she treasured. We can all embrace this thought on her behalf and just maybe have a life like hers, full of relationships that are overflowing with love and wonderment.She was an active member of First Lutheran of Richmond Beach Church for over 60 years. She would donate her time and money to many charities throughout her life that touched her soul. A major donor to the local YMCA and a long time volunteer at the local Children’s Hospital Goodwill outlet.Later in life, there was little that she loved more than going to see the Mariners play or watching them on TV with her family and friends. She even went to a game around her 100th birthday, with a celebratory message up on the scoreboard screen, so fun! A fan next to us couldn’t believe she was 100, a sentiment commonly said whenever anyone was aware of her age. She always said that you need to keep moving or you’ll stop moving. She continued to do PT and exercise as much as she could till days before she passed, amazing!Another one of her passions was reading, especially sports books, historical novels and the daily newspaper. These helped keep her mind active, along with doing the daily crossword puzzles. She was also an amazing letter writer, always a treat when you’d receive a note from her in your mailbox, that too will be missed.A truly remarkable woman!What brought her the most joy was all the little ones, her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and great great grandchildren.She is survived by her son Patrick (Bonnie) Knutson, her son Dale Knutson, her daughter Dana (Mike McGillivray) Knutson, grandson Christopher Knutson, grandson Cody (Heather) Knutson, grandson Jesse (Amy) Knutson, grandson Blake Knutson, granddaughter Kelsey (Marcus) Tunison, great granddaughter Christa (Jason) Gullidge, great granddaughter Kayla Knutson, great grandson Adrian Knutson, great grandson Elliot Knutson, great granddaughter Annabelle Knutson, great granddaughter Rosie Tunison, great grandson Tanner Knutson, great grand daughter Margot Tunison, great grandson Teddy Knutson, great great grandchildren Shay, Kelly, Violet and Fran Gullidge.Pat was preceded in death by her husband, Elliot Knute Knutson, mother Ethel Eaton, father Forrest Eaton, daughter Shirley Anne Boese, son in law Allan Boese, daughter in law Carol Knutson, daughter in law Kerry Knutson, grand son Michael Knutson and many other much loved extended family members.As you can see, Pat had quite the family to enjoy, though her legions of friends may have even been more prolific! Her love, companionship and zest for life will forever be in our hearts and minds.In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Toys for Tots or your local EMS.There will be a celebration of her life on ( to be determined). It will be at (to be determined). It would be appreciated if you could find a personal favorite photo or two and forward them to Dale Knutson, either via text at 2063837371 or email at [email protected], for inclusion into a lifetime of memories slide show.We know she would want to thank each and every one of you for the joy and love you so freely gave her over the years❤️

James Scott Turney

Scott, a beloved husband, father, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully on September 21st, 2026, at Ashley Gardens in Mount Vernon, WA. Born in Kirksville, Missouri, Scott was the son of James Turney and Barbara Hutson, who preceded him in death along with his brother, Mark Turney.

James, known to many as "Scott," was a man of many talents and passions. He graduated from Meadowdale High School in 1972, and went on to lead a life filled with diverse experiences and careers. A true jack of all trades, Scott made a significant impact in the food industry, working as a chef in private and corporate catering. He was particularly fond of his time at the Premiere nightclub in Seattle, where he could merge his dual loves of cooking and music. Scott also showcased his culinary skills as a chef at Anthony's HomePort in Edmonds, WA, and ventured into entrepreneurship with his own food stall at the Bite of Edmonds.

Scott's passions extended far beyond his professional endeavors. A record-breaking swimmer from a young age, he was talented enough to qualify for the Olympic Trials, an achievement he cherished. His artistic abilities were equally impressive, with a knack for drawing that allowed him to replicate any image with precision. Music was another of his lifelong loves, with rock and alternative genres holding a special place in his heart. And his passion for cooking was most on display when he was cooking for his family and friends.

Despite his many talents, Scott will be most remembered for his warmth, humor, and storytelling. He had an uncanny ability to connect with people, leaving smiles in his wake wherever he went. Whether in the grocery store line or at family gatherings, Scott's stories were legendary, filled with humor and heart.

Scott is survived by his devoted wife of 24 years, Maria Turney, whom he married on July 14th, 2002, and by his two beautiful daughters, Kayleigh Partlow and BreeAnna Turney, who were the pride of Scott's life. He is also survived by his sister, Tami Robbins, whom he loved dearly. Scott's family and friends will forever treasure the love and joy he brought into their lives.

A service to celebrate Scott's life will be held on October 5th, 2026, at 12:00 PM at Beck's Tribute Center, located at 405 5th Ave S, Edmonds, WA 98020.

Scott's light will continue to shine in the hearts of all who knew him, and his memory will be cherished forever.

Pamela Karen Buckley

Pamela Karen Buckley — A Life Remembered

Pamela Karen Buckley passed away on September 29, 2026. She was born on February 20, 1947, in Norfolk, Virginia, to Howard and Kathryn Dudley, the third of four children. Growing up in a Navy family meant frequent moves, but those early travels shaped her resilience and curiosity. The Dudley’s eventually settled in Edmonds, Washington, where Pamela graduated from Edmonds High School in 1965. She continued her education at Western Washington State College, earning her degree in 1969 and started work as an English teacher in Sequim.

In 1970, Pamela married Norman Allen Buckley, beginning a partnership that would span more than five decades. When Norman rejoined the Navy in 1971, the couple moved to Alameda, California, where their first son was born. During this time, Pamela served as president of the USS Coral Sea wives club, supporting families and strengthening the community around the ship. The Navy next took them to Hawaii, where their second son arrived, before the family settled permanently in Bothell, Washington, in 1979.

Although trained as a teacher, Pamela discovered her true professional calling in accounting. She began at Pemco Insurance and went on to work for several private companies, including the Mental Health Housing Foundation. Ultimately, she retired after twelve years as the account manager at EnviroIssues, where she was known for her precision, dedication, and steady presence. After retirement she continued to apply her accounting skills as a board member for the Mental Housing Foundation, until 2023.

Pamela was an avid reader and an enthusiastic traveler. Together with Norman, she visited every continent, collecting memories from dozens of countries. Two journeys stood out above the rest: a safari in Kenya, and walking among the penguins in Antarctica, moments she cherished deeply. She also remained closely connected to her Edmonds High School classmates and played a key role in organizing several reunions, keeping friendships alive across decades.

Pamela is survived by her husband Norman, their sons Jeffrey and Jason, and her grandson Rainier.

Celebration of life will be Sunday, October 11th at 2:00pm in the Becks Funeral Home Chapel.
