Kristine Ann Edwards' Obituary
Born August 1, 1952 in San Mateo, California, the daughter of Margaret and William, Kris lived a life of grace, generosity, and kindness. She graduated from the University of California at Berkeley and the University of Washington Tacoma’s Masters in Nursing program. She was married to the late Dr. David Fogel, her beloved husband for nearly 30 years. Together they raised a loving family, giving the gifts of “roots and wings” to their children Jessica, Jeremy, and Peter. She had an unmatched closeness with her sister Lynne. She was also a proud grandmother to Caroline, a cherished mother-in-law to Kevin and Sarah, and a treasured aunt to the Fogel boys. She found a special partner and companion in John Selby, and they spent the last 3½ years enjoying a loving and joyful life together. She was a true and generous friend to many in California, Washington, and beyond. As a public health nurse, she was committed to making the world a better place and worked tirelessly to help people with asthma and to make sure women could access cancer screening. She passed away peacefully at home on October 14, after a courageous two-year battle with cancer. She lived a beautiful life and leaves a legacy that will live on in all who were fortunate enough to know her. Please sign the online register at www.mountainviewtacoma.com.
