Our beloved Earline slipped into eternal rest on Saturday July 26, 2025, at home surrounded by family.

Earl as she was called by family and friends attended Horace Mann Elementary School, 

Washington Jr. High School, and Garfield High School class of 1965.

Earline was employed at Boeing, Puget Power and her last job at Catfish Corner which she had to

quit because she was soon diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

Earline was a loving person and had a heart of gold, her house was the neighborhood house.

She liked football (Seahawks), music, dancing, cooking, baking, playing dominoes and cards.

In her downtime she loved to watch The Young & The Restless, Family Feud, ID and Sisters.

Earline married Ronald Baxter in 1967 after divorcing they remained the best of friends.

Ron left us on April 14, 2025, and that broke Earline's heart.
