Carl Michaelson Obituary
Carl D. Michaelson
"Papa"
Carl was a loving husband, father and grandfather. He worked in the grocery business for over 40 years throughout Snohomish, WA, and King Counties. Carl enjoyed spending time with his family, and was passionate about classic films and cars. He will be remembered for, among many things, his wisdom, guidance, sense of humor and warm spirit.
His parents, Martin and Ella Michaelson; sisters, Edna, Stella, Hazel and Bernice; and brothers, Martin, Alfred, Ernie, Merle and Marvin preceded Carl in death.
Carl leaves behind a large family who will miss him tremendously, including his wife of 53 years, Mary Ann Michaelson; and six children, Gene (Jayne) Michaelson, of Gig Harbor, WA, Keith (Sue) Michaelson, of Everett, Diane and Steve Berg, of Marysville, WA, Donna and Bryan Davidson, of Everett, Sharon and Fred Wilde, of Snohomish, WA and Carl Michaelson, of Seattle, WA. He will also be greatly missed by his seven grandchildren, Jordan and Zach Wilde, Jacqueline Michaelson, Greg and Katie Michaelson, Alyssa and Garrett Davidson.
At Carl's request, there will be no services.

Michaelson Family,
I was so sorry to hear that Carl died. I will remember him as being a quiet and gentle man. You are all in my prayers.

Dear Sharon and family, My sincerest sympathies to you and your family. Even though I did not personally know your father, I can see by his photo that 'smiling' must have came easy to him, just as it does you. I recall a conversation many years ago in the old operator days about your childhood and how a simple phone call from 'Mr. Michaelson' could elicit prompt action. I'm sure you and your family were shaped by your father's presence and he will continue to live on in the souls of your family.
