In 1965 she went to work for the Washington State Dept. of Labor and Industries and later for the Dept. of Social and Health Service, retiring in 1982. As a family we spent many days driving the "mountains" of Mason County, picking wild blackberries, picnicking at Carson Lake, wending through the Skokomish Valley and along Hood Canal and one of our favorite places, Rocky Brook Falls. Our favorite sunnner trips were driving "around the loop," marveling at the depth and coldness of Lake Crescent, the pink sand of Kalaloch, and the huge trees and ferns of the Hoh and Qninault rain forests. Morn loved the verdant green of Western Washington and passed her interest in nature on to us. We were always a family with cats. Morn loved these animals that showed up as strays - and'later as the offspring of our strays - and we grew up appreciating the feel of a soft furry kitty curled up in a lap or at the foot of the bed. References to Calico, Goulash, Sitter, T'mkerbell, Paddlefoot and other long-gone felines would find their way into our conversations over the years. Mom continued to keep cats for most of her life, until cats underfoot became a danger. If she had had a magic wand she would surely have first waved it for world peace and an end t~ hunger, but the second wave would have been for all the kitties in the world to ~ve loving homes. If you would like, you might consider a donation to Kitten Rescue (420 State Rte 3, Shelton WA 98584) or Feline Friends (6515 Sexton Drive, Olympia WA 98502), both of which Morn supported. At Mom's request there will be no services, but the family will gather at a later date to remember her.
