Yolanda Dunlap Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Nov. 9 to Nov. 10, 2004.
YOLANDA M. DUNLAP Our beloved mother, Yola Dunlap, was born September 6, 1916 in Minneapolis, MN. On November 6, Mom rejoined her parents and brother Vincent and sister Clara in the Georgetti family kitchen in heaven. Shortly after her birth, the Georgetti family relocated to Washington Street in South Taco- ma. Surviving family and relatives fondly remember the wonderful and boisterous family gatherings at the Georgetti family home. Mom attended Edison Elementary, Gray Junior High, and graduated from Lincoln High School in 1934. All four of her children also graduated from Lincoln. On November 21, 1940, Yola married Max "Al" Dunlap, a construction worker from Spokane. In 1941, Yola and Al purchased a house on East C Street that remained home to Mom until a stroke in August necessitated placement at the Tacoma Lutheran Home. Surviving family members include husband Max, sons Jerry (Maren), Larry, Dick, and daughter Donna Burt (Dan). Brothers Wedo and Mimi Georgetti, and sister Flora Endicott also survive her. Ten grandchildren and six great grandchildren are her legacy. A memorial service will be held at Bethlehem Lutheran Church, 38th and A Street, Friday, Nov. 12, beginning at 11:00 a.m. A luncheon and time for sharing will follow in the church reception room. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Yola's name to the Bethlehem Lutheran Memorial Fund, 101 East 38th St, Tacoma, WA 98404.
