They were married as Del went off to boot camp. After Del’s service in the navy and Pat’s life following Del from port to port, they settled in West Seattle where they raised six children and lived for over 71 years. Del had a distinguished career at Seattle/Metro Transit, while Pat established a long career at Sears Roebuck & Co. They have 15 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren. A grand family celebration will be held in their honor in Des Moines, WA.
This is my great uncle and Aunt we have been trying to contact them and some others in our extended family but it shows they have sold their house. If anyone from their side of the family could email me at lonna.reed@att.net I would be so greatful. They used to contact us once a year but we haven't heard from them!
