Florence Eleanor Lien, 88, of Kent, Washington, passed away on January 19, 2010.
Florence was the youngest of three born to William and Gertrude Calvert on January 21, 1921 in Seattle, Washington. She spent her early years in Fall City and enjoyed dancing as a young girl. She moved to Kent for her high school years and graduated from Kent Senior High in 1939.
Florence married her husband of 62 years, Floyd W. Lien, a WWII veteran, on Sept. 30, 1941. Their only child, daughter Trudy Ann, was born in 1942. When Trudy was two months old, Floyd was deployed overseas and returned to Florence and Trudy when Trudy was three years old.
Florence worked outside the home as an administrative office assistant for the City of Kent. She enjoyed lots of activities with family and friends. She was known to her grandchildren as the "Camping Grandma". She enjoyed following her grandchildren and great-grandchildren through all their activities and spent some of her later years caring for her great-grandchildren. She was always willing to jump in and lend a hand when needed. She loved to visit family in Ellensburg.
She was active in the Kent Lutheran Church, Sons of Norway and the Airstream Club. Florence spent the last few years at Best Care in Kent where she continued to build her circle of friends. Florence always had a sparkle for life, was admired and loved by all those that knew her and will be greatly missed.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Floyd W. Lien; brothers: William and Jack Calvert; and son-in-law, Richard D. Ravet.
She is survived by her daughter, Trudy Ravet; sister-in-law, Clarinda (Tootsie) Heinze; grandchildren: Michele (Dan) Cook, Laurie (Bill) Gordon, Terri (Jeff) Thomas, Jeff Ravet, Shannon (Aaron) Radich and Tim (Julie) Ravet; and 20 great-grandchildren.
