Morilles May (Hamaker) Uttich
Morry passed away January 22nd in University Place, WA. She was born on May 10, 1925 in Portland, OR to Harold and Francis (Scholz) Hamaker. She was the middle of three daughters and was raised in Scappoose OR, graduating in 1943 from Scappoose High School where she played varsity basketball.
Morry married Steve Joseph Uttich of Yankton, OR on July 16, 1943, in Fresno, CA. They were married for almost 67 years before the passing of Steve on May 12th, 2010. Until 1958, they lived in the Scappoose / St. Helens area. During this time, Morry worked as a grocery clerk, originally for Bill Phillips and later for Dewey Adams. In 1958 they moved to Idaho Falls, ID where she continued her career at Skyline IGA. In 1966 they moved to Port Orchard, WA where Morry finished her career as a grocery clerk at South Park Thriftway retiring in June of 1984.
After retirement Mom & Dad traveled throughout the West and Alaska and even making it to Indiana to meet some of the Scholz family for the first time. They went on several different cruises, and also enjoyed dancing, camping, and being with friends and family, finally settling in Yuma, AZ.
Four years ago due to health reasons, they moved to Tacoma, WA to be with family.
Morry was an avid Mariner's Fan, and looked forward to watching their games during the baseball season. Her favorite player was Ichiro and Edgar before he retired. She also loved Bingo.
Morry is survived by her son Richard and daughter-in-law Bobbi Uttich of Sarasota, FL and Long Beach, NY; son Kenneth Uttich of Idaho Falls, ID; daughter Kathy and son-in-law Joseph Mayesky of University Place, WA; four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband Steve (The Love of Her Life, who she missed so very much), her father, mother, sisters Genevieve Marcott and Joan Evans, and grandson Shawn Uttich.

A special thanks to Myra, Luce and family at "Ocean Breeze Care Home" for the loving care and comfort they provided during her stay there.
