Lamoine (Sallee) George
Wilma Lamoine (Sallee) George, 84, of Everett, died Thursday, June 2, 2005, at home with her devoted family by her side.
Called "Lamoine," she was born to Jesse Sallee and Coretta (Irwin) Sallee on June 19, 1920, in Linn, Missouri. Shortly after her birth, the family moved to Boseman, Montana.
Lamoine and her brother, Wyman, lived with their grandmother, Mary Alice Eaves Irwin, in Idaho, from 1923 to 1933. When her grandmother died, she and her brother returned to Boseman, Montana, where she met and married Ray George in 1935.
Ray and Lamoine moved to Everett, Washington in 1939. She raised her family in the Everett area. She worked for Safeway for seventeen years, before retiring in 1971.
She was a wonderful mother who devoted her life to her family. Her family loved and respected her in return. Some of her hobbies included gardening, golfing, ceramics, and crafts of all kinds. Her cooking and love brought her large family together for countless holidays and celebrations.
Lamoine will be especially missed by her three children, Leon (Mary) George, LaVi (Larry) Waller, and Bernard (Nancy) George. She was devoted to all of her family, including her nine grandchildren and 22 great-grand children.
Services will be held at 1:00 p.m., Monday, June 6, at Purdy & Walters with Cassidy, Everett.
