Mabel E. Dean's Obituary
MABEL ENGEVIK ANDERSON DEAN
Mabel was born August 27, 1916 in Fargo, North Dakota to Knute and Bessie Engevik and passed away in Tacoma February 2, 2009. She grew up in Tacoma with her 6 siblings. If you were lucky enough to have known Mabel, she was a woman you would never forget. Whether at her days as the Revlon rep for Rhodes or around the casinos or ever present at her house on the Day Island spit, an encounter with Mabel always included a beaming smile, a friendly hug, a twinkle in her eye and a warm feeling in your heart. Renowned for her gold shoes, her upswept hairdo, the ever present pot of hot coffee, Mabel will be missed by all. Mabel was preceded in death by her first husband William in 1969, her second husband Stan (Bud) in 1989, son-in-law Cliff Duane, her beloved daughter Carol, and grandson Bill III. She is survived by her sister Joyce (Toni) Hirschy; son William Anderson (Ruth); grand daughter-in-law Christine and her children Eliza May and Carter; grandson John (Val); and granddaughter Tiffany and her son Caden. A memorial service will be held on Saturday February 7, 2009 at 3:00 PM at Mountain View Garden Chapel 4100 Steilacoom Blvd. SW Tacoma. Remembrances may be made to Mary Bridge Childrens Hospital in Tacoma
