Laryn Anderson Obituary
Laryn Ellen Anderson, age 54, passed away suddenly on May 23, 2013. She was born on August 1, 1958 in Seattle, WA.
She was a graduate of the University of Oregon School of Journalism and held various positions over the years in the high tech, airline and retail industries. She also excelled in sales. She loved the outdoors and her hobbies included skiing, cycling, hiking and canoeing. Other passions of hers included cooking, artwork and world travel. Most recently she had been a volunteer tutor, helping children in developing their reading skills.
Laryn leaves her loving family, her mother Beverly J. Alger, her sister Linda M. Anderson and brother-in law Brent E. Nissly, her aunt, Sylvia Mickelson (Alger) and uncle, Earl Mickelson, as well as many relatives in Seattle and California. Laryn was preceded in death by her loving father Laird Julius Anderson and uncle Norman T. Alger.
Laryn was so full of life, and when she smiled, she set the world aglow, especially that of her loving companion Bobby. She will be remembered for her sweet, kind and generous soul. There is a huge hole in the hearts of everyone who knew and loved her.
Per the request of the family, services will be private.

My heart will ache for a long time. I know how many of us knew she was in pain. Collectively, we would have been a strong voice. I miss Laryn everyday. We will keep her memory and her missions alive. We just need to get through these first few weeks of pain. We had great plans for the beginning of June.

Laryn had style and class. A beautiful woman but still down to earth. She loved people and could make anyone feel at ease. A kind, genuine person. She will be missed.

I worked with Laryn many years ago at the Seattle Times, when we were both in our 20's. She and I were born the same year and had lots in common. When she left the Times, we lost touch, and I wish I would have contacted her in recent years. I always loved her positivity, energy and beautiful spirit! I am so sorry to hear of her sudden passing. With love, Karen (Rosini) Themelis
