Obituary: Rev. Diane Baldwin Tickell
Former Juneau resident the Rev. Diane Baldwin Tickell, 84, died April 24, 2002.
She was born to Roy Baldwin and Elsie Fuller on April 11, 1918, in Fitchburg, Mass. In 1939, she received her bachelor of arts degree from Smith College and moved to Southeast Alaska in 1944, after her marriage to Albert "Budd" Tickell.
Her route to the priesthood was unusual. She had been a social worker in Juneau for a number of years, then attended the Episcopal Theological School in Cambridge, Mass. Graduating in 1973, she was ordained to the diaconate the same year. In September 1975, she was one of four women ordained to the priesthood in an irregular service in Washington, D.C. The women were ordained by retired bishops before ordination of women was permitted by the Episcopal Church. At the 1976 General Convention, it was voted to change the canons to allow ordination of women to the priesthood.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her twin brother David and brother John; an infant daughter; and husband "Budd" Tickell.
She is survived by her sister Mary Armitage, Salt Lake City, Utah; sister-in-law Nancy Baldwin, Sewickly, Pa.; sons Peter Tickell, Auke Bay, Bruce Tickell and his wife Judith, Auke Bay; Mark Tickell and his wife Ester, Pohnpei, Micronesia; granddaughters Diane, Julia and Olivia and grandsons Mark, Tommy and Ralphie, all of Pohnpei, Micronesia.
The family thanks friends and clergy for prayers and support. They said she never gave up hope or faith and will always be remembered for her generosity and kindness, her great love for people and animals, and her turkey stuffing that "floated on air." They said she was a truly remarkable woman and they love her.
Services will be held at 1 p.m. on Monday, April 29, 2002, at St. Brendan's Episcopal Church on Mendenhall Loop Rd.
Episcopal Bishop of Alaska the Rt. Rev. Mark MacDonald, Archdeacon of Southeast Alaska the Ven. Mark A. Boesser and the Rev. George A. Walter, the rector at St. Brendan's Episcopal Church, will preside at the service.
In lieu of flowers, donations to honor her can be sent to AWARE Inc. Children's Program, P.O. Box 20809, Juneau, AK 99802-0809.
