Blessings to all of you Shipman family that read this. I remember when you all lived in Everett and went to the Friends Church as I did. I think there were 12 of you. I happen to stop by your house when your dad had his heart attack. Your mom was always so kind and never seem to get too rattled keeping you all in line. Those were good days at the Friends Church. Your mom was also a postal employee too. Thinking of you all now and she will see you all later. Kathy Kines Sexton

Margaret and her family moved to Everett the summer of 1965, and lived there until after her husband, Delbert passed away in 1977. She attended Everett Friends Church, then Bethany Temple until she moved to OIregon. She later lived in Eugene, OR and finally Tigard, OR.
