Ronald A. BARRETT

Ron died peacefully at his home in Bothell, WA on June
29th, 2006 with his wife and daughters by his side. We
will miss his love of family and friends, sense of
humor and his organization. Ron was born March 10,
1952 in Sacramento, CA to Joseph and Jean Barrett. He
was raised in Montana and Spokane, WA. He graduated
from Shadle Park High School. He received his
respiratory Therapist Degree from Spokane Community
College, and his R.N. from Lewis and Clark State
College, in Lewiston, ID. He moved his family to the
Seattle area in 1987 to work at UWMC. He retired from
the University and worked at Stockpot for the last six
months. His wife of 31 years Patricia, daughters Sarah
and husband Ho Le, Suzanne Barrett and Jason Wagner,
Emily and husband Paulo Jimenez, granddaughters
Gabrielle and Isabel Jimenez, survive him. Mother
Jean, brothers Joseph, David, Jon and sisters Nancy

him. He also leaves his beloved dogs Lucy and Buster.
The Family would like to thank the Dr's, nurses and
staff at Overlake Hospital I.C.U. for their care and
support, Evergreen Hospice for all their help so we
could bring him home. We would also like thank all of
our friends and family and neighbors. Special thanks
