Shirley R Pease

Shirley Pease went Home to Heaven on Sunday, August 20, 2017 peacefully and surrounded by her family. Shirley was born to Ernest and Marion Crane on April 5, 1927 in Boston Massachusetts. As a young girl, she enjoyed ice skating (often skipping school to skate). As an adult, she always loved watching Figure skating on TV. Highlights for her were attending the Ice Capades and several other live skating events in Seattle. She married Charles Pease on September 11, 1948. In 1954, they moved to Seattle, WA. where Dad was an employee of Boeing. There they raised their 5 children, Laurelei, Linda, Charles (Rick) Barbara and David. After a short time in Denver, Colorado, they returned to Seattle and later retired in Wenatchee. Mom was mostly a homemaker when her kids were young but was always busy with her many friends and interests. She also did foster care for several years. Above all she was faithful in service to her Lord. She taught Sunday school for many years. Her home was always open and we often had friends for dinner on Sundays after church and always had a house full on Holidays. After the “kids” were grown Mom was able to pursue her love of writing. She had articles published and wrote and self- published several books. She was involved in a Wenatchee Writers Group (teaching for several years) and was often a speaker for Christian Women’s Club. She went to Hawaii, Europe and went on an Alaska Cruise with friends. She spent her recent years in Colonial Vista where she continued taking on new projects and making many friends. Shirley was preceded in death by her husband, Charles L. Pease on August 28, 1988. She is survived by her children – Laurelei (Robert) Krueger, Linda (EdKrueger), Charles (Violet)Pease, Barbara (Bill Pruitt) and David Pease and numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren. Mom lived a long and fulfilling life and was a faithful Wife, Mother and Friend. She will be missed by so many in so many ways. She loved Jesus and we believe she is in Heaven now. Her dearest wish was that she would see her friends and family there someday. There will be a Memorial Service on Monday, September 11 (her wedding anniversary) at 2:00 pm in the afternoon at Colonial Vista preceded by a private family burial. The family would like to take this opportunity to thank the Doctors, nurses and caregivers at Central Washington Hospital for their kindness to the family and excellent care of Shirley. Colonial Vista has been so gracious in allowing us to use their facility for Family events and her memorial service. They are a wonderful, place to live-always caring, supportive and accommodating. Thank you.
