Lillianne Brinkman Roberson Blundell
What a woman! Born April 5, 1913 in Seattle, WA, she made her transition on December 2, 2003.
Former wife of Gus Brinkman, widow of Robert Roberson and subsequently the widow of Jack Blundell, Lillianne lived life to the fullest with an ever-ready laugh. Among many things, she was also a Hawaiian dancer, woodcarver, fire truck driver, Index city council member, prize-winning Japanese Bunka embroiderer, notary public, vintage fashion model, singer, tap dancer, piano player, line dancer, bookkeeper, title clerk, loyal FOE member, horseback rider, avid reader, collector of really cool junk, and a snappy dresser.
Eternally optimistic, Lillianne's response when queried, "How are you?" was always, "I'm better than anybody!"
In addition to her numerous activities she also managed to become the mother of Dianne Meeks, Lorraine Weeks Doyne, Charlene "Vicky" Cummings (who preceded her in death), Leslie Brinkman Baggenstos, and David Brinkman; the grandmother of eight and the great-grandmother of thirteen.
Her cheerful, upbeat, outlook on life and many other wonderful things about her will be memorialized at a service on Tuesday, December 9th beginning at 2:00pm at the Victorian Manor, 610 1st Street, Snohomish, WA 98290.

William John Breen IV
On December 3, 2003, unexpectedly, Bill went home to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Bill's faith in Jesus was incomprehensible. With this faith he touched many lives. His faith made him a man that once you met, you could never forget. This last year of his life his faith grew even deeper, which was a testament to who Jesus was to him.
Bill was born On October 4, 1950 in Rantoul, IL. He was the first son of Stella and William Breen. Bill's career in Nuclear Medical Imaging spanned 30 years of time, creating bonds all over the world. He worked hard and influenced many lives. He loved his family more than anything else and gave everything he had to support anything they needed. His pride and joy were his grandchildren. Jasmine and Bill were inseparable from the moment she was born ten years ago. He devoted himself to her and she was always there to return the love. Isaiah and William were his baby boys, both under the age of one. Bill would glow every time he was with them. He had a passion for adventure and the determination that could not be brought down. He loved water skiing, snow skiing, running, hiking, roller blading and this list goes on.
Bill loved children and children loved him. From the children he taught in Sunday school to the neighborhood children who came to play chess or shoot hoops with him, they all loved him. He had the ability to come down to their level. With his warm smile, a twinkle in his eye, and his gentle touch he made everyone he met feel like they were the most important person in the world. Bill was gifted with the amazing talent to love freely and unconditionally. He will be missed by too many to list. His loving legacy will be passed on to the next generation.
He is survived by his loving wife of 32 years, Mary; daughter Laura; son William; granddaughter Jasmine; two grandsons, Isaiah and William; daughter-in-law Rene'; son-in-law Bill Young; two sisters, Fran White and Alice Gallagher; little brother Michael; nieces and nephews, Michelle, Mikey, Chris White, Jennifer White, Brian Doerr, and Bobbie Anne Doerr; brothers-in-law, Wayne Doerr and wife Karen and David Doerr and wife Victoria.
Although Bill's passing has been difficult on those who knew him, we have seen God's goodness and grace. As God's children we remember that
"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints." Psalms 116:15. We are looking forward to the day when we will stand with Bill before God's throne and praise Him throughout eternity.
"Well done good and faithful servant."
There will be a celebration of his amazing life on Tuesday, December 9, 2003 at New Life Center in Everett, WA at 1:00pm.
