Corwin Thomas Slentz

Corwin Thomas "Tom" SLENTZ Tom left us peacefully on February 18, 2011, at age 91. He was born in Bellingham, WA, on December 17, 1919, and his strength of character was largely defined by his coming of age during the Great Depression and World War II. After high school Tom's studies at Western Washington College were interrupted by World War II, during which Tom served his country in the Army in the Pacific Theatre. On his return, he began his 42 year career at Pacific Northwest Bell. As in everything he did, Tom's work as an engineer was meticulous, and his reputation for drawing skills was legendary. Tom demonstrated his commitment to serving his community as a 32nd degree Scottish Rite Mason and member of the B.P.O.E. Tom loved the outdoors and the natural beauty of the Northwest. He climbed Mount Baker as a young man and was an avid fisherman. He continued to ski and golf into his eighties. Tom was fortunate to travel widely; his favorite destination was always Kauai, where he went annually with Peggy for 35 years. Tom's greatest source of joy and pride was his family, particularly his grandchildren and great grandchildren. Even as his cognitive abilities declined, he remained an enthusiastic supporter of their every creative, academic, and athletic endeavor. His favorite words of encouragement to all of us were "Keep busy, work hard, and have fun!" Tom is survived by Peggy, his wife of 54 years, daughters Judy Dawson and Linda Wishkoski, son-in-law Michael Wishkoski, and niece Kathleen Brainard. He is also survived by grandchildren Lori (David) Lyon, Lisa (Jon) Usher, Rachel Wishkoski, and Sam Wishkoski, and seven great grandchildren. Tom's kindness and generous spirit resulted in a life richly blessed with many friendships, some of which were lifelong. We appreciate these loyal friends, as well as the kindness and respectful care of the staff at Ida Culver Broadview and Tom's physician, Dr. Robert Haining. A memorial will be scheduled at a later date. In lieu of flowers, remembrances of Tom may be made to the Alzheimer's Association or the charity of your choice.

Signe Arick

Signe ARICK Signe Arick passed away February 10, 2011, at Northwest Hospital surrounded by her loving family. She had turned 90 on July 19. Though she was challenged by vision and health problems- and deeply saddened by the death of her sister Hilda Guldseth in 2007 - her last years were marked by many joys and pleasures. Signe was a long-time member of Gift of Grace Lutheran Church. She loved the church music, communion, and the devotional group that often met at her home. Before macular degeneration curtailed reading, Signe taught Bible Study at the church, and she enjoyed making quilts with other church women for Lutheran World Relief. A lifelong reader and a lifelong learner, Signe replaced reading with audio books from the Washington State Talking Book and Braille Library. Her favorite was Alexander McColl Smith and his Number One Ladies' Detective Agency books. She loved NPR and the Diane Roehm Show, as well as Prairie Home Companion. Signe was born on a dryland farm south of Malta, Montana to Norwegian homesteaders. Their community was peopled by hard-working Lutherans who had been drawn to the harsh prairie by Railroad Company promises of bounteous new beginnings. After eight years in a one-room school, Signe attended high school in town, paying her expenses with a bookkeepingjob which also provided some money to keep the farm going during the Depression. She graduated class Valedictorian. Soon after, while working in Malta, she met a handsome stranger from Cristobal, CZ. Signe married Alexander D. Arick in 1940, in Panama. They lived in the Canal Zone and Costa Rica until Alexander felt the need to serve his country in WWII. In 1952, he was killed in Korea, leaving Signe with two young children. The little family lived in the Lutheran community of Parkland near Tacoma in the fifties and sixties and was active in the Trinity Lutheran congregation. Signe was a secretary at McChord AFC, principally in the flight clinic. While working, she earned her BA from UPS, and then her MA from PLU at the age of 60. On retirement in 1986, Signe moved into the Wallingford home of her sister, Hilda. They enjoyed many adventures, flying to Hawaii and rambling across Washington and Montana to visit friends and the family farm. They also visited family and friends in Sequim, Aberdeen and the Seattle area. They were thrilled to attend a large family reunion in Minnesota and meet many members of their mother's family for the first time. Another highlight was their Norway trip to see family and old family farms. Signe delighted in meeting new people and the children that came into her life. She had vast collections of memorized poetry, jokes, and butterfly brooches. Signe loved listening to the Mariners, especially when she shared the experience with her sister. Last fall her garden was a miracle of sweet corn, beets and tomatoes. From organic gardening techniques learned from books on tape, she supervised the planting of potatoes and selected flowering plants that her family hoped she would enjoy this summer. In October her health declined sharply. Her son, Michael, had come from California to stay with her in spring and she very much enjoyed his company and his sense of humor. When her health failed, he worked tirelessly during her last months to help restore her comfort. She finally succumbed to an aortic aneurysm. Signe Arick was preceded in death by beloved husband, Alexander, parents, Marit and Joseph Guldseth, brother, Jennings Guldseth, and sister, Hilda Guldseth. She is survived by daughter and son-in-law, Alexis and Harvey Greenberg, of Seattle, and son Michael Arick of Santa Barbara. She also leaves behind her twenty-year-old cat Missy. Signe was blessed with dear friends in Montana and Seattle and Tacoma who remembered her with their calls, cards and prayers until the end. Signe's ashes will be buried in the grave of Alexander Arick at Fort Lewis Cemetery. She has asked that a memorial service also be celebrated at Gift of Grace Church on Fortieth and Meridian in Wallingford. Memorial gifts or tributes can be made to Gift of Grace. Vi elsker deg, Signe, and we miss you. A memorial will be held in the spring. The time will be announced in this paper.

VIRGINIA LEE (GINGER) KNIRCK

Meanwhile, her father took a job on the Manhattan Project, and the family moved to the Tri-Cities; Ginger followed in 1945. She settled in Richland where she married Ben Krepsky only to tragically lose him shortly into their marriage. She then met and fell in love with Rueben Knirck. Rueben and Ginger were married on February 26, 1949, in Couer d'Alene, Idaho, spent the next 61 years together, and raised three children (Bill, Sandi, and Karen)., Rueben's long career at GE involved frequent transfers, which meant that he and Ginger were able to live in a variety of places in the United States and abroad. They spent most of their lives in Richland, but also lived in Alabama, upstate New York, and Louisiana, as well as spending two stints in Spain in the early 1970s and early 1980s. Ginger enjoyed living in Spain, and made many lifelong friends there. She and Rueben also traveled to Italy and Germany while in Europe, and their house remained decorated with mementos acquired during their time in Spain., Despite frequent moves, Ginger also had a career of her own, as she worked at (or 'ran' as she liked to say) various doctors' offices, Fischbach Lord, and the Athens Courier; but her favorite job was as the women's clothing buyer at the Bon Marche in downtown Richland, a job that suited her charming and engaging personality. While at The Bon, she traveled to fashion markets in New York and Los Angeles to obtain the latest women's styles and clothing lines for the shoppers of Richland. Ginger was a great saleswoman, and convinced many a buyer that they absolutely needed that dress. Having been a cancer survivor, she was also a volunteer at the Tri-Cities Cancer Center., Ginger always considered Richland her home, and was glad to return when Rueben retired in 1986. In retirement, Ginger enjoyed square dancing, snow skiing, cards (poker and bridge), bingo, bowling, golf (wielding a mean Ginty 9- wood), shopping, fishing. She was also a huge fan of All My Children and was proud to tell her friends and family that she had been watching since 'the very first episode!' She and Rueben also enjoyed occasional casino trips, visits with Karen at the lake, stays with Sandi in Mukilteo, and spending time with her best friend, Edna. Always the life of the party, wherever Ginger went, fun followed., Ginger also derived much joy from, and loved to brag about, her eight amazing grandchildren: Jason (and Mari) Knirck, Amie (and David) Waters, Stacey (and Paul) Morrison, Tyson (and Hayley) Bushnell, Michael (and Elizabeth) Parker, Daniel Schmidt (and Jenn), Jocelyn (and Nat) Roe, and Sarah Schmidt. Her eyes would sparkle when she visited with, and spoke of, her fourteen great-grandchildren: Justin, Kendra, Riley, Ethan, T.J., Lila, Kylee, Rian, Kyla, Hayden, Mackenzie, Derrek, Beau, and Dylan., In addition to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, she is survived by her daughters Sandi (and Richard) Schmidt, and Karen (and Jim) Parker; and her daughter-in-law Teresa Knirck. She is also survived by her younger sister Sharon (and Rowland) Griffith, sister-in-law Joyce (Marion) Blank, brother-inlaw Doug Knirck, sister-in-law Marion Morey, as well as many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband Rueben, her dear son Bill, her sister Betty Snorf, and her parents.
