F Marian Eveleth \
Marian Eveleth age 85, passed from this life Oc—
tober 19, 2020, at her home overlooking Totten In—
let. She was born in Shelton on-April 30, 1935, to
Oliver and Mary Ashford, the first of three children.
In 1939, she moved with her parents to Fernandina
Beach, Florida where her father, an employee of
Rainier Pulp and Paper Company, was a member of
management operating a Rainier owned mill. Mar-
ian had fond memories of living in a home on the
beach, but before playing there, the beach had to
first be inspected to assure there was no war wreck-
age present. She began her education at Fernan-
dina, attending St. Josephs Academy, first through
third grade.
In 1945, the family returned to Shelton where
Marian attended Lincoln Grade School, Shelton J u—
nior High and Irene S. Reed High School, graduating with the class of 1953.
Marian studied the flute and by ninth grade her talent had exceeded the
lev-
el of Junior High. She was assigned to the High School band. This required
her to trudge between buildings. Near the end of the school year a senior
boy,
also a band member, asked her for a date. They did what all kids did in the
fifties; they went to a movie and like teenagers, held hands. Seventy
years
later, after sixty—five years of marriage, on Marian’s last day of
life, they were
still holding hands.
At the age of 39, having resumed her education, Marian received a Bach-
elor of Science degree in Nursing from PLU in Tacoma. She would spend a
full day at school, come home and bake bread. In her sixty-five years of
mar—
riage, she never bought bread at a store. Marian served as a nurse at Mason
General Hospital, retiring after more than twenty years. Her example as a
stalwart and dedicated woman was highly regarded within her family. Mar—
ian loved her family and was proud of each and every one of them, pleased
with their accomplishments and lives. Marian was a quilter, an ardent read-
er, enjoyed ballroom dancing, and loved to grow plants in pots. Her love of
dahlias could be seen in her garden, in flower vases around the house, and
her artist painted Kitchen Aid.
Marian was a fifty-five year member of PEO Chapter B, a member of Rain-
ier Guild, and a faithful member of St. David’s of Wales Episcopal
Church. As
a woman who in midlife renewed her life through education, Marian epito-
mized the purpose of PEO. She is survived by her husband Norman, four
children, five grandchildren and one great granddaughter. Also surviving
her are two sisters; Barbara and Nancy,-and one cousin Russell.
For those interested in memorial, the family suggests PEO Chapter B
“Mary M. Knight Award” in memory of Marian Eveleth. If by check the
pre-
ceding Award should be noted on the memo line. Or, contributions can be
made to St. David’s Episcopal Church, discretionary fund. PEO contribu—
Paul Michael Schoening \
July 8, 1932 to October 12, 2020
, Paul Michael Schoening, age 88, died on Monday
;, October 12, 2020, at his residence on Hood Canal.
Paul was born in Lake Forest Park, Seattle on July
8, 1932 to the parents of John William and Gud-
: ' run (Kittilsby) Schoening. Paul was the youngest
of three brothers, Peter Schoening and William
Schoening.
Paul graduated from Bothell High School in
1942, and then attended the University of Wash-
, ington studying business. Shortly thereafter Paul
worked in Alaska on a fish processing boat. He was
then drafted into the Washington National Guard
in June 1952, stationed in Germany serving in the
military police. Paul became a successful contractor
in King County building several malls, schools, and
homes.
Paul learned to fly at the age of 16. He was an outstanding Bush Pilot and
avid hunter. He had several cabins at lakes in'Alaska and Northern
Canada
where he flew in with his float plane, and guided hunters for moose,
caribou,
bear, and fishing for trout and salmon.
He moved to the Hood Canal in 1978, where he built his beautiful 10g
house and air strip for his 1949 Stinson airplane. His home is full of game
trophies that he hunted, and you never knew if you were going to be
attacked
by a lynx, moose, elk, grizzly, and maybe a flying duck. Paul had many,
many
friends during the construction of his log home and on the weekends, you
knew where to go for a party, some work would get done, but not always.
Paul then became a gold miner prospector flying his plane to his gold
claims in the Yukon Territory on Eldorado Creek and Oro Gulch during the
summers. He had a cabin and built a landing strip at Eldorado Creek. In the
later part of his life he found the love of his life Wendy who joined him
in
some of his adventures. Paul and Wendy spent their honeymoon in the Yu-
kon. If you were around Paul, you knew you could get caught up in some of
his adventures and sometimes you would say he cheated death again!
Paul is survived ,by his wife Wendy Shelton—Schoening of 20 years and
his nine children, Cheri King of Edmonds, Lori Chappell of Arizona, Krista
Schoening of Shelton, Steve Schoening (girlfriend Tracy Maurath) of
Lilli—
waup, Theresa Schoening of Shelton, Dustin Devaney of Lacey, and Brandon
Devaney of Shelton. Paul had lost two of his children, his daughter Cathy
Schoening of Seattle, and his son Greg Schoening of the Philippians. Paul
tions can be mailed to Jocelyne Gray, 301 Wallace Kneeland, Suite 224-211,
@elton, WA. 1 .
