They owned a Dairy Queen, farmed, and she was a seamstress for a group that made the ski jackets and pants for the U.S. Olympic Ski Team in the 1964 Olympics at Innsbruck, Austria. Her hands were always busy knitting, crocheting, sharing her home and made wonde meals for family and friends. She loved pinochle, skip-bo and would drop everything to play a few hands of cards. She played a big part in the lives of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She is survived by her son Galen (Carla) Dreis of Mukilteo and daughter Loretta (Erland) Pananen of North Pole, Alaska; grandchildren: Annie (Richard) Bibby, Debby Spidell, Sharon (Brian) Werk, Jake (Katie) Pananen, and Max Pananen; great grandchildren Lauren (Jakob) Kleparek, Kyle and Trent Spidell; and soon-to-be great-great granddaughter Lily Jean Kleparek.
