Karlee Eaton

With broken hearts, we announce the passing of Karlee Charmaine Eaton, who passed on October 23, 2025, at the age of 35, in Olympia, Washington. Born on December 29, 1989, in Medford, Oregon, to Lisa Renee Siler and Charles Lee Eaton, Karlee was a bright, beautiful soul whose laughter and love touched every life she encountered. Karlee spent her childhood in Medford and White City before moving to Olympia in 1999, where she would grow, work, and raise her family. She attended Howard Elementary, White City Elementary, L.P. Brown Elementary, Komachin Middle School, Timberline High School, and South Puget Sound Community College Those who knew Karlee will forever remember her vibrant personality - she had a gift for making people smile, even on their hardest days. Whether she was working at Westside Lanes, Tipsy Bar, Subway, or Fujiyama Japanese Steak House, Karlee brought warmth and energy wherever she went. Her coworkers and friends will never forget her kindness, quick humor, and the way she could light up any room just by walking in. Karlee's greatest joy in life was being a mother. She loved spending time with her children, Taedyn Fortune and Laina Mesta, who were her whole world. She loved animals deeply, had a heart full of generosity, and never hesitated to help others before herself. Her selflessness and compassion were the foundation of who she was - a loyal daughter, sister, mother, and friend whose love knew no limits. Karlee leaves behind her beloved children, Taedyn Fortune of Olympia, WA, and Laina Mesta of Olympia, WA; her parents, Lisa Siler and Charles Eaton; her sisters, Rachel Koping of Bremerton, WA, Allie Pollen of Olympia, WA, and Kimberlee O'Sullivan of Kingman, AZ; and her grandmothers, Lois Siler of Olympia, WA, and Drucilla Eaton of Grants Pass, OR. She was preceded in death by her grandfathers, Frederick Siler and Chuck Eaton, who now welcome her with open arms. A service celebrating Karlee's life will be held on Friday, November 7, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. at Woodlawn Funeral Home in Lacey, Washington. Friends and family are invited to gather, share memories, and honor the life of a woman whose love and laughter will echo in our hearts forever. In remembrance of Karlee's deep love for animals, donations may be made to Joint Animal Services Animal Shelter, 3120 Martin Way E, Olympia, WA 98506. Though her time here was far too short, Karlee's spirit remains - in the laughter of her children, the warmth of her family, and the countless lives she brightened simply by being herself. She will be missed beyond words and remembered beyond measure.
