Frank W. "Papa" McGhie Aug. 10, 1924-April 17, 2007 Frank W. "Papa" McGhie, of Mill Creek, WA, fell asleep peacefully in the arms of Jesus on Tuesday, April 17, 2007, after a brief illness with lymphoma. He was born in Springfield, MO, and moved with his family to Everett, where he grew up and attended school. As a young man he served in the south Pacific with the US Coast Guard. After returning home he entered automotive sales where he was recognized by General Motors' Buick and Cadillac divisions with several outstanding achievement awards in both sales and customer service. He began a second career in 1980, opening a mortgage and escrow firm in the Northgate area. He worked in this field for several years. He continued to work until January 1 of this year, spending the last few years as a field service representative for The Everett Herald. Frank loved fishing and bowling, but his true passion was the game of golf. He was an avid fan of the Seahawks, Mariners and Sonics and only missed games if he was on the golf course or working. He was a charter member of the Mill Creek Country Club and always felt privileged to be one and to be a part of the Mill Creek community. He made many wonderful friends in the neighborhood and at the country club. He leaves behind the love of his life, his wife of 53 years, Darlene McGhie, of Mill Creek; daughters, Shawna McGhie, of Mill Creek and Linda Shermer, of Everett; granddaughters, Mitzi (Sean) Charlton, of Point Mugu, CA, and Trinity Sims, of Colorado Springs, CO; three beautiful great-grandchildren; and his little white dog, Bingo. He was preceded in death by his parents, William and Mary McGhie; and his son, Kim McGhie. A memorial service is planned for a later date, place and time to be announced.
