Mark Lancaster Obituary

Mount Vernon, WA - It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Mark Lancaster. He died on October 25th, at the age of 70, of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Mark was married to the love of his life, Nellie, who passed before him. He was known for his love of his family, history, firearms, and the railroad. Along with his wife, he was also a devoted member of Skagit Valley Baptist Church.

He worked for TTX, Trailor Train Company, for over 30 years, as a welder.

He is survived by his daughter, Katharine Lancaster, and his step-daughter, Aileen Shields. He was not a man who drew a distinction between the terms "daughter" and "step-daughter." He loved both equally.

Memorial services will be held at Skagit Valley Baptist Church on November 23rd at 10:00 AM.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
