Blanche Marion Suelzle
Blache (White) Suelzle born in Minot, ND on February 9, 1918, passed away on March 27, 2013, after a brief illness and complications of heart failure.
Blanche resided at Alderwood Court in Lynnwood, WA since 2003. Before coming to Lynnwood she lived for 50 years in Yakima, WA. She retired after serving many years as a retail clerk working at J.J. Newberry's and Peoples department store.
Blanche was preceded in death by her husband,
Edmund Suelzle; her parents, Archie and Mae Swords White; sister, Hazel (Sabo), Margaret (Tofteland Wills), Norma (Stevenson), Jean (Anderson); and brothers, Donald and Archie, Jr.
Survivors include her sisters, Doris Dries of St. Paul, MN, Ardis Huizenga of Glenburn, ND; and her brother, Robert White residing in Minot, ND. Also surviving is her son, Mel (Ginny) Suelzle of Bothell, WA; and her daughter, Wendy (Gene) Clinger of Running Springs, CA. Blanche has two granddaughters, Diane (Clint) Ripperger and Deborah (Robert) Geer; as well as two grandsons, Steven Suelzle and Jason Dwyer. She leaves nine great grandchildren; one great-great granddaughter; and numerous nieces and nephews.
She also leaves her dear friend, Doris Piercy of Port Orchard, WA. She and Doris have been friends for over 90 years.
Blanche was active in the Bethlehem Lutheran Church while living in Yakima, and Saint Timothy Lutheran of Edmonds, WA when she moved to Lynnwood in 2003. She loved to crochet and embroider, did it beautifully and loved to share it with friends and family. Her crafts were recognized by many and were popular items at church bazaars and local fairs.
Blanche was a very sociable person, enjoyed being around her many friends at the Alderwood Court Apartments and her church. She especially enjoyed interacting with younger women who she related to best. She was an avid bingo player, faithful to her favorite numbers and bingo cards and an excellent card player. In her younger years she enjoyed dancing, especially to western music.
The family wishes to extend a special Thank You to all the staff at Seabrook Assisted Care in Everett and to the Providence Hospice Staff who provided wonderful and loving care.
