Chermi Lorraine Harlick

1970 - 2014

Chermi Lorraine Harlick

Chermi was born on the first day of Spring, 1970; the day the first daffodils bloomed. She was joyously welcomed as the first child of parents Michael and Cheryl. Chermi was a very happy and content baby who grew into a very happy child and young adult, comfortable and talkative with anyone who came into her life even if only as a seat mate for a bus ride. She enjoyed these bus encounters and brightened the day of many elderly riders. She was very giving with a smile as well as putting on fund raising events to help a person in need or a cause, and volunteered at a food bank.

Chermi attended John Rogers, Madrona Elementary schools, Meany Middle School and Nathan Hale High where she was an exchange student to Japan, and Shoreline Community College.

She sailed boats from dinghies to 40', painted, sang, was an avid crafter, the Seahawks best 12th Woman, loved movies and music, and read voraciously, and loved her niece and nephews. She traveled and immersed herself in various cultures. She visited Hawaii, Mexico and spent time in the United Kingdom. Her career choices were as varied as her interests. She worked as a Pharmacy Tech, manager of a retirement center, home care/companion, bartender, companion/assistant in IT, house caretaker, etc.

Chermi left us shortly before midnight, August, 25, 2014. She leaves behind her mother Cheryl, sister, Kristin, brother, Michael, Grandmother Judy, and nieces and nephews. She now joins her father Michael, aunts, uncles and grandparents.
