Obituary of Edna Doris Peebles

Edna Doris Cutler Peebles passed away peacefully on March 26, 2014, in Lacey, Washington. She was born on December 30, 1921, to Burt and Esther Libe Cutler, in Livingston, Montana. Edna always considered herself a tomboy and the small Montana town afforded her many outdoor adventures. She moved after high school to Spokane, Washington, to attend and graduate from Kinman Business College. She met the love of her life, Harold A. Peebles, at Kinman. They were married on April 8, 1944, in Spokane. Harold and Edna lived the majority of their married lives in Spokane. They had three sons, Bruce (deceased), Scott, and Chris. In the ‘70s, Edna attained a life goal by graduating from Eastern Washington University. Once Harold retired as a partner at LeMasters Daniels CPA firm, they began to travel throughout the U.S. Their joint hobby of genealogy, along with memberships in Sons of the American Revolution and Daughters of the American Revolution, made their US trips even richer. Edna was especially proud of her pre-revolutionary ancestors. A few years after Harold passed away, Edna moved to the Lacey area to be near her grandchildren, where she attended many Timberline High School activities. She developed friendships with members of OGS, DAR, The LutheranChurch of the Good Shepherd, and Christ the Servant Lutheran. What mattered most to her was her family. She was especially proud of her sons, two grandchildren and four great grandchildren. Edna is survived by her sons, Chris and Scott and wife, Nancy; grandson, Addam, and his wife, Shannon; granddaughter, Amanda, and her husband, Daniel; and four great grandchildren, Devon, Naomi, Andrew, and Emerson. The family would like to thank all the caring staff of Bonaventure Assisted Living, Assured Hospice and Catholic Community Services. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that any memorial donations be made to Q Club Student Scholarships at Office of Advancement, Pacific Lutheran University, Tacoma, Washington 98447 or Catholic Community Services.
