Thinking of you.

THANKS*

We would like to thank our mother, Nita, for having graced our lives with her presence. She found joy in the simplest of things and was generous to a fault. Her endless curiosity was infectious as was her respect for all opinions and cultures. And when faced with life’s challenges, she consistently demonstrated the qualities that many of us aspire to – patience, compassion and forgiveness.

We would also like to thank those individuals and communities that welcomed Nita and extended friendship and support during her long life: her lifelong friend Marion; the sorority sisters at Sigma Kappa Mu chapter; her sisters-in-law Denise, Heather and Ursula; Seattle Senior Housing Council and the residents at Carrol Terrace; the residents and staff at Vashon Community Care, where she spent the last years of her life, and lastly, to Dr. Kappleman, who so patiently and compassionately shepherded our mother through her last days.



*This euology was given during the funeral service.

I have fond memories of Nita's smiling face, her wit and her bright mind. Though I didn't see her often, I was always impressed with her knowledge on a wide variety of subjects and her avid interest in the world. I hope sweet memories comfort her entire family and their families as well.
