JUNE HASS Obituary

June Hass Our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great-grandmother, born June first 1920 in Morton, WA to Gladys and Jack Thompson, passed away peacefully February fifth 2011 at 90 years of age, surrounded by loving family, in her home of more than fifty years. June spent her last years cared for by her daughter Tanya D. Erickson, and her two grandchildren, Julie O'Neill and Eben Erickson. June was the oldest living member of Children's Orthopedic Guild of Seattle. June graduated Centralia HS in 1938. June and Byrd moved to Eatonville shortly after they were married, and spent the remainder of their lives in the community of Eatonville. June and Byrd donated the park land triangle at the north entrance to the town of Eatonville, now named Nevitt Park. This land is preserved as parkland for generations to enjoy. June was involved in many community-enhancing organizations and charities until her death. She was a beautician by occupation, but also served many other important roles in the community as well as in her family. Donations on June's behalf can be sent to Children's Orthopedic of Seattle, MultiCare Home Health Hospice, or a charity of your choice. June is survived by her daughters Jaqueline Gordon and Tanya Erickson, grandchildren Darren and Julie O'Neill, Eben and Aimee Erickson, Carmen Gordon, and Geoff Gordon, seven great-grandchildren, and seven great-great-grandchildren. At June's request there will be a graveside memorial to be announced at a later date. Arrangements by Hill Funeral Home, Puyallup, (253) 845-1172.

Tanya and family, It is such a loss when our parents die. We lost mom 7 years ago and each day I find something I would have loved to ask her. She was so lucky to have you take care of her and be able to stay at home: not a small task by any means. Hold on the the memories...the good times.... I did not know her but she sounded like quite a lady. My wishes for strength and peace at this difficult time.

Tanya, I knew you as Tany, my name is Kathy (Coplan) Gehrke. We spent summers together at Clear Lake. When I had my hair styled for my Sr. picture, by my cousin, boufant was the in-style then, Mom desperately needed a redo. She called your Mom, up sto Clear Lake we went. . .and that is the hair style shown in my Senior annual. Our beloved mother, Dorothy Coplan passed last February 23rd, 97 years old. We send our sincere sympathies. Kathy and Mike Gehrke
