Catherine Armstrong Obituary

Catherine (Kay) Felder ARMSTRONG Our mother passed away April 8, 2011, at the age of 87, from complications of congestive heart failure. She was born April 26, 1923, in Sumner, Washington to Frank and Anna Felder. She lived her entire life in the greater Seattle area and was married to her late husband Lloyd Armstrong for 53 years. She was a loyal Boeing employee for over 30 years, loved to travel around the southwest with Dad, in their RV, and to go fishing at Westport. She was an avid collector of Beanie Babies and antiques. She and Dad had the wonderful opportunity to travel to Switzerland on two occasions to reconnect with relatives. Mom had three passions in her life, her family, her dachshund dogs and everything Swiss. She will be greatly missed by her son, Jerry Armstrong (Bridget) of Brier, daughter Beverly Edwards (Dave) of Bellevue, her grandchildren, Bree Edwards, Curt Armstrong (Vanessa), and Brett Edwards (Katie), and her beloved great-grandchildren, Logan Armstrong and Lydia Edwards AND her sweet, sweet dog Amber. We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to our extended family, all her faithful friends, to her wonderful caregivers, Mr. and Mrs. Vasile Paul, Jan Sweeney, Bev Schmer, and Zelphine McAlvey and also the valiant staff at Evergreen Hospice. There will be a memorial service 2:00 p.m. on April 17, 2011, at the Monroe Swiss Hall, 18500 Tualco Road, Monroe, WA 98272. In lieu of flowers please consider donations to Evergreen Hospice or the Monroe Swiss Hall.
