Frederick M. "Fred" BARNES


Beloved Husband, Father, Grandfather and Friend went
to be with his Lord on February 6, 2006. Fred was born
on April 6, 1929 in Harrisburg Pennsylvania, the third
son of Charles and Mary. Fred began his career at
Bethlehem Steel in Pennsylvania working his way from
Laborer to Engineer. It was in Pennsylvania that he
met the love of his life, Anna. Fred and Anna married
and moved to the Pacific Northwest raising two
wonderful children. Fred went to work as a
Manufacturing Engineer at Honeywell Marine Systems
where he retired after providing over 30 years of
service. Although Fred was a self made man with many
accomplishments, his greatest joy and achievement was
his family. Fred was an avid fisherman, hunter, and
outdoorsman who lived his life as a grand adventure.
His kindness, honesty, great stories and gentle humor
touched all who knew him. Fred will be greatly missed
by his loving wife, Anna, daughter, Maryanne and son
in law, Tom, son, Brett and daughter in law, Andrea,
grandchildren: Kyler, Kaelyn and Thomas, sister, Lela
Bart, many family members and special friends.
Services will be held to celebrate Fred's Life and
Faith on Saturday February 11th at 2:00 p.m. at
Shoreline United Methodist Church, 14511 25th Avenue
NE Seattle WA, 98155. The family respectfully requests
that in lieu of flowers donations be made to Shoreline
United Methodist Church.
