Mamie Matilda Raleigh was welcomed into her heavenly home on Tuesday morning, April 5th, 2016. She passed away in Dallas, Texas, her earthly home of 20 years. She was 85.

The middle of twelve children, Mamie was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania December 24th, 1930. She is preceded in death by her parents; Julius and Matilda Raleigh, her oldest brother,
JT and his wife Marybelle, her brothers, Zealous, Conley, Jessie, Nathaniel and his wife Christine and youngest brother, Furman, her sisters, Margie, Arnello and her husband Richard Thomas, Princess Lee and her husband John Scott, and sister in law, Renata, She is survived by two younger brothers, Glen, of Killeen, Texas, husband of Renata, Neal and his wife, Mary, of Albany, Georgia, her son David, of New York, New York, his partner Richard and a host of nieces, nephews, grand nieces and nephews and extended family members, all whom she loved dearly and prayed for daily.

Mamie lived a purpose filled and godly Christian life. She had a profound love for and was a devoted scholar of the Bible. She sought out every opportunity to study God’s word and was passionate about her devotional and prayer life. She attended Moody Bible Institute, Prarie Bible College and Dallas Theological Seminary and filled hundreds of notebooks and manuals with her personal notes from almost every sermon or Christian lecture she listened to or attended. An avid prayer warrior, Bible study leader and choir member, Mamie, was an active and faithful member of First Baptist Dallas, and each church she attended during the course of her life.

A licensed practical nurse by profession, Mamie began her 25 year career as a private nurse and then, in 1958, joined the staff at a hospital in Rochester, New York. In 1964 she moved across the country to Seattle, Washington where, with the exclusion of a two year sabbatical to attend Bible College in Canada, she held a position as head nurse in the Skilled and Ambulatory Care nursing facilities at Crista Ministries (formerly King’s Garden) until her retirement in 1981.

She loved to learn. She advanced her nursing education, and also completed courses to further her love of writing and composition at Shoreline Community College, Richland College, and through various online courses.

Mamie was a prolific writer. She took pride compiling her yearly Christmas letter, enjoyed writing personal poems for any and every occasion, and reveled in her self - appointed post as family historian. For years her monthly “Focus On The Family” newsletter brought and kept together her large extended family of which she was very proud.

An outstanding hostess, Mamie loved entertaining. Her dinner parties and ladies luncheons were legendary, and having 25-30 guests over for a meal with long tables set up throughout every inch of her entire apartment was not uncommon. Baking was her hobby and almost everyone who knew her received a loaf of one of her famous breads during the holidays.

She will be remembered as devoted friend, colleague, sister, sister – in – law, aunt, cousin, and loving mother, who sacrificed and selflessly gave of herself completely to create a better life for her son and only child, David.

A memorial will be held on Saturday, May 21, 2016 at 11am in the Truett Chapel at First Baptist Dallas, 1707 San Jacinto, Dallas, Texas. Her son will welcome friends and family at a reception immediately following.

In life, Mamie was a generous giver of gifts to her church, countless charities and Christian foundations, and to the people she loved. It is no surprise then that one of her final wishes was that her body be used to aid in research and help others. She bequeathed her remains to the Willing Body Program at UT Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas. Summarily, she will be interred in the columbarium at Evergreen - Washelli Cemetery in Seattle, Washington.

There is a link death cannot sever,
Love and remembrance last forever.
Heavy are our hearts today,
Memory brings you back once more,
To the time when you were with us,
To the happy days of yore.
Gone is the face we loved so dear,
Silent is the voice we loved to hear;
Too far away for sight or speech,
But not too far for thought to reach,
Sweet to remember him who once was here,
And who, though absent, is just as dear.

After overcoming every obstacle and setback for almost five years, Shpresa Malazogu died peacefully at home on the morning of April 11th under the loving care of her husband John, daughter Jody, son-in-law Neal and new grandson Anderson Axel Tahiraj.

She loved her crew of guys and gals. And they loved her just as much. Many of them continued to visit right up until Shpresa's passing.

Shpresa Malazogu loved being in the fresh air and was an avid outdoorsman. She loved planning yearly summer hikes, fishing excursions, and golfing with her lifelong friends. Annual fishing trips to Sekiu and golf tournaments at Alta Lake were (and will continue to be) family traditions.

Behind their white picket fence, Shpresa Malazogu and John loved to tend their beautiful garden together and were even featured in several national magazines. And as the sun was setting, you could always find them on their vintage front porch, wine in hand, inviting you for a glass, or just some friendly conversation with anyone that wanted to.

Shpresa Malazogu could make friends with anyone. She had a knack for knowing a bit of everything, but was never a “one-upper.” She was a great story teller and could remember finite details the rest of the world had forgotten. After you met her, she made you feel like she was your best friend, and you could walk away thinking that you knew her for years. The woman simply did not know a stranger.

As you are reading this, take a moment to look out and watch the clouds go by. And tonight, go outside, look up and smile at the stars.

Pamela Egbert Dowling, a resident of Woodinville Wa., passed away at Evergreen Hospital on March 28 2016 at the age of 67. She was surrounded by family and friends and we were all honored and privileged to be by her side.

Pam was married to Kirk Dowling in 1973 and spent 43 years building their lives together. Pam is survived by their son Brandon (Rachelle) Dowling of Granite Falls, daughter Autumn Dowling of Bothell, grandson Jaydon Tramell of Woodinville and grandson Damon Dowling of Granite Falls. She is also survived by Mother Joyce Egbert of Woodinville, siblings Debbie Bahr of El Dorado, Scott (Paula) Egbert of Plain, Cheri (Kevin) Doyle of Snohomish and Jeff (Shelly) Egbert of Bothell. Pam was preceded in death by her father, Dale Egbert, who passed in 2000. Pam is also survived by many nieces, nephews and countless number of friends, who will miss her dearly.

At the early age of 2, Pam was struck down by Polio. At 3, she was forced into a wheelchair. She overcame horrendous obstacles and road blocks in her life to become the incredible women that she was. As Pam moved through life inspiring and mentoring, she presented herself to the world with courage and grace, allowing her handicap to become irrelevant. With careful thought and consideration and the ability to listen and hear, she helped all of us see the world from a better perspective. Determined to make a difference, she championed many issues that help make life a better place for the mobility challenged.

For all of her challenges, Pam loved life. She loved her family and friends. She loved the pure joy of playing pinochle and sharing discussions with a group of longtime friends. Her loving spirit along with her great ability to counsel others is a gift we will continue to cherish.

Pam graduated from Lake Washington High School in 1966. With true grit and determination Pam strapped on her braces, grabbed her crutches and proceeded to traverse the hallways and stairs of Lake Washington High School. She was just another one of the kids, “no special treatment needed". She attended college in Everett and later the University of Washington. She worked for the University of Washington from (1975-77) as an Office Manager with the Alaska Regional Medical Program. After the program lost it's funding, she accepted a position (1978-80) as Office Supervisor at the University of Washington (School of Dentistry) Patient Admissions. She then worked off-campus for a program called Handicap Referral Services. During this time she attended Bastyr University and received her Master's Degree in Grief Counseling. She later worked for King County, which employed her for a number of years until retirement. She also volunteered for the Hospice Program at Evergreen Hospital for several years. Pam loved to volunteer and serve her community. Many organizations benefited from her presence and insight. She was also involved at the Center for Spiritual Living performing administrative duties and office support.

Pam will always be remembered for her compassion, wisdom and great sense of humor. Reaching out to family and friends, remembering important occasions in people's lives with thoughtful cards and her motivation to learn and share new ideas, were all part of Pam's arsenal that will be forever missed. Most that knew Pamela Joyce Egbert Dowling will recognize her as one of the greatest women of her generation.
