ELDA JEANETTE “JAN” STEPHENSON HUMPHREY, 7/23/1930-6/12/2012
June 12th, 2012 by Clark Humphrey

My mother did so much more than simply make me. She was my anchor, my unconditional “home base.”

Others will talk about her as a tough lady of hearty eastern Washington pioneer stock, sturdy support system to friends and strangers, a bulwark of the Snohomish antique-shop strip, and a valiant survivor of condition after condition (breast cancer, macular degeneration, chronic bronchitis, two fractured vertebrae, and finally a series of heart attacks).

But I will think of her (always) as a gentle heart within a tough-as-steel soul.

    Yes, someone does read this blog, and I am sorry to hear of your loss. I hope everyone who is still here gives you comfort. Oh, and keep up the good work.
