Gennady Selivanoff Obituary
Michael died September 9th at home after a long battle with lung cancer. He was 81 years old. Michael was born 1933 in Seattle to Michael Paul and Janina Selivanoff. He attended Highline High School and Seattle University where he received a degree in Civil Engineering. He served his country proudly in the Army Air Corps during the Korean War. The patriotism he learned in the service never left him, as family members will attest. He was an avid fly fisher and spent many wonderful days fishing Washington rivers.
Michael is survived by his wife Kathy; sons Joseph (Gemini), Peter and John (Stefani), daughter Teresa Thornton (Steve), step-daughters Juliann Hernan (Lucinda), Elizabeth Golden and Jennifer Sullivan, many grandchildren, great-grandchildren and nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by two brothers, two sons and a daughter.
Special thanks go to the Hospice staff, especially to Lori and Macrine, for their compassionate caring during his illness.
A Memorial Mass will be held at St. George Church in Seattle on September 30 at 11:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers donations may
be made to the Providence Hospice, 425 Pontius Avenue North, Seattle, WA 98109.
