Victoria L. Kissler (Jamie) went to be with the LORD August 16, 2016 after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born in Fresno, CA January 17, 1957, but was raised in Tacoma, WA and died at Highline Medical Center in Burien, WA. Her early career was working as a drug/alcohol counselor at The Highline Recovery Center (Care Unit). She was also a gifted speaker and worked closely with The Seattle Union Gospel Mission to help many successfully navigate onto a life of recovery and sobriety. Her last career was as an esthetician in which she owned her own shop (From My Hands) in Des Moines, WA. It brought her joy to help bring out the beauty and potential in people.

Jamie is survived by her brother Mark Owens of Tacoma, WA, nephews Joshua Peters of Yakima and Anthony Peters of Tacoma and an entourage of friends. She was preceded in death by her husband, Lyle Kissler. A Celebration of Life service will be held on Saturday, September 10, 2016 at 2:00 pm at Hope Christian Community Church in Burien, WA.
