Starr Wall Obituary

Starr Wall Jan 25, 1952 - Jan 24, 2013 Starr Wall passed away on January 24, 2013 after 8 years of very bothersome chemotherapy. She does not recommend it as a way to go, but she stuck around because she loved the following: snow storms, graphic novels, Kalaloch, Cannon Beach, hobbits, overfeeding the fauna, pho, sushi, fish and chips, coffee, quiche, pork chops, madeleines, soft serve with hot fudge and peanuts and other foodstuffs. She is sorely missed by her husband, Virgil; father, Vern; secret lover, Legolas; daughters, Layla and Sunday; daughterly niece, Tina; granddaughter, Allyson; grandniece, Heather; ex-husband, Jay; son-out-law; Mike; and a whole train car of relatives that you would grow tired of reading the names of. She will be missed most of all by her army of fat, insolent squirrels. As a co-founder of Babette's Bakery in downtown Olympia, Starr was known for her world-class granola, irreproducible pear bread, and the mysterious Scottish Oat Cake, neither Scottish nor cake, but definitely oat. Prior to baking, Starr was a Registered Nurse. Her advice for any aliment-from heartbreak to head cold was to take a nice hot shower. It works most of the time. By Starr's adamant request, there will be no service. In remembrance, please bake yourself some cookies (any kind but gingersnap), eat them warm with coffee, read a comic book and take a shower. Please leave memories of Starr at www.FuneralAlternatives.org.
