ELLEN HUGHES Obituary

Ellen Marie Hughes July 14, 1924 - January 8, 2016 Born to Frank and Marie Siegfried of Oak Harbor, from pioneer stock, Ellen was born in the same farm house her father was born in. Never far from the Sound, Ellen moved from north Whidbey to Tacoma, where she graduated from Stadium H.S. in 1943. Ellen was devoted to the timber industry, first working for Ben Cheney in the Tacoma Building and then for Weyerhauser, which she retired from after 30 years of service. Ellen was preceded in death by her husband, Hal Hughes and brother Jack, and survived by her daughter Salise and son Evan. A celebration of her life will be held at the Sunset Plaza club house at 7309 N. Skyview Pl., Tacoma, 98406 on April 9 at 2 PM.
