It is impossible to put into words the noble character, beauty, virtue, sacrifices and life exhibited by the matriarch of our family. Our blessed Mom's interests were family, bible studies, travel, piano playing, dancing, sewing, knitting, quiz shows, reading and personal friendships. Moneta's life long gift was her sacrificial involvement with her family. She is considered our family treasure due to her positive attitude and her unconditional love. We are thankful for the major role she played in each of our lives and we will cherish her love forever. The family wishes to express special gratitude to Angelwings Adult Family Home, for their care and kindness to Moneta during the last five years of her life. Bleitz Funeral Home and Mount Pleasant Cemetery made her burial arrangements. Her Memorial Services will be held at Trinity Community Church, 3807 Reith Road, Kent, WA 98002, on March 13th, at 2:00PM. The family requests that remembrances be made in her name to Trinity Community Church and/or to Seattle Union Gospel Mission.
