Eddie Lee Stephenson's Obituary
Eddie was born in Tacoma, WA Sept. 12, 1932 to Fred and Violet Jorgenson Stephenson, and died Dec. 29, 2010, at his home in Parkland after a brief but intense battle with lung cancer. He was a lifelong resident of Pierce County, but commuted to Renton and Everett during his 35 yr career with Boeing. He was a longtime member of Lakewood Baptist Temple. Ed was dedicated and hard working, knowledgeable, detail-oriented and organized. Eddie loved life, people, politics, and knew more than most about cars and airplanes. He loved a lively discussion! Eddie was preceded in death by his parents, brothers George and Leroy, sister Margie. He leaves behind brothers Neil, Wilfred, Forrest and Lyle; sisters Claire, Laurel, Naomi, and Gael, many nieces and nephews, and a host of friends, including his caring friends with whom he shared meals daily at the Redeemer Lutheran Church meal site. He will be greatly missed by all, but his unique personality will live always in our hearts and memories. Donations may be made to Lakewood Baptist Temple, Franciscan Hospice. Viewing will be Wednesday Jan 5, 1-8pm at Mt. View Funeral Home.
