KELLER Sr. Dick Keller passed away at Providence Hospital in Everett on February 11, 2019, age 87. He was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. He was born December 7, 1931 in Hiawatha, Utah, grew up in southern Idaho and graduated from Pocatello High School in 1949. He served in the Pacific with the US Navy during the Korean War and returned home to earn a degree in hotel and restaurant management from Washington State University. While managing the coffee shop on the MV Kalakala on the Port Angeles to Victoria BC run, he met the love of his life, Vera Allen. They married in July 1958 and celebrated their 60th anniversary in 2018. After a short time with Stouffer’s Restaurants in Pittsburgh, he and Vera returned to the Seattle area where Dick took a job with Clark’s Restaurants, managing several popular establishments in and around Seattle. They settled in Edmonds and started a family. In 1973, Dick left the Clark’s organization to build and operate his signature achievement, The Country Cousin Restaurant in Centralia, WA. It was an instant hit, popular not only among those traveling from Seattle to Portland, but also among Centralia residents. Dick fostered an atmosphere of homespun friendliness which combined effortlessly with the Country Cousin’s hearty American cuisine. It has since become a revered institution in the Centralia-Chehalis area and still operates to this day. In later years, Dick advised the hotel and restaurant faculties at Oregon State University and his alma mater, WSU. He also served on the board of the Washington State Restaurant Association. He is survived by Vera, his beloved wife of 60 years, son Richard Jr., daughter Julia Jaspen and grandsons, Alan and William Jaspen. He will be missed by all. The familywould also like to thank all the caregivers whose kindness and caring made Dick’s final time on earth happy and meaningful. Momoko Morinaga KIDO Momoko Morinaga Kido passed away peacefully on February 28, 2019. She was born to Setsu and Yonezo Morinaga on March 6, 1925 in Thomas, Washington. Momoko was the 4th child in the family of 10 children. During World War II, her family was interned in Pinedale, Tule Lake and Heart Mountain. She never spoke badly about the internment but talked about all the friends she made in “camp”. The Morinaga family settled in Oregon Slope. There she met her husband, Edward Kido. They were married in Ontario, Oregon on October 14, 1950 and lived first in Weiser, Idaho where their daughter Vicki Ann was born. Later they moved to Nyssa, Oregon where sons, Kurtis Wayne and Kenneth Edward were born. Ed andMomo were farmers and Momo was in the fields working along with Ed until they moved to Seattle, Washington in 1968. Momo worked for Pacific NW Bell. Momo had strong work ethics, which was passed on to her children. She liked to sew, crochet, cook but she loved her family and all the friends she made from her early days in Thomas and her friends she made while interned and those that she worked with. Momo never played cards until the family moved to Seattle. Then she got hooked into the weekly family poker game. She enjoyed going to Muckleshoot. Her nieces and nephews will remember her for her cooking such things as her mochi, manju and sweet and sour chicken wings. Of course family, friends and friends of her children will all remember her for the crocheted towels. She enjoyed the Sonics, the Seahawks and her favorite was the Mariners especially when Ichiro was playing. She is survived by daughter Vicki and her husband Jeff Smith, son Kurt, and son Ken and his wife Alison Whitmire. Momo is also survived by three grandsons Bradford, Joseph, and Cole, her siblings Jimmy Morinaga, Benny Morinaga and George Morinaga (Kim Morinaga), her sisters- in-law Helen Murahashi (Roy Murahashi) and Suzy Kido and brothers-in-law Frank Ota and Jan Yagi. Momoko was preceded in death by her husband Edward, her parents and siblings, Teruko Morinaga, Kaz Morinaga, Marion Ota, Yutaka Morinaga, Lillian Kitamura, and Violet Yagi. She leaves behind numerous nieces and nephews on both the Morinaga’s and the Kido’s along with many grand-nieces and grand-nephews. We want to thank Kais er Permanente for the care they gave her along with the Lakeshore and Maria and Joseph Luta and their staff at Kennydale Golden Age AFH for their loving care of Momo. In lieu of koden, please donate to the Kaiser Permenente foundation, cancer foundation or the charity of your choice. A Private memorial will be held at a later date Edith Marie LARSON Edith Marie Larson passed away at Spiritwood Assisted Living in Issaquah, Washington on February 24, 2019. Marie was born August 7, 1932, in Puyallup, Washington, to Pete and Edith Avenetti. She was raised in the small tight-knit mining community of Roslyn, Washington. Roslyn was home to many immigrant mine workers with very strong family traditions and her Italian family roots were no different. She greatly enjoyed, and was proud of, her Italian heritage and looked forward to the annual family reunions that were held in July every year. In 1953 Marie married Bill Larson, the boy across the street from her family home on 4th Street and moved to Bellevue as Bill, a civil engineer, had accepted a job with the City of Seattle. He soon went to work for the Boeing Airplane Company testing aircraft sub-assemblies. Bill and Marie raised the three children, Bill, Cindy and Bob, in Bellevue. They made the trek back to Roslyn most weekends during the fall, winter, and spring. Then, in the summer, they would go to the family cabin at Lake Kachess. The cabin is still in the family and enjoyed by them in the summer. Marie was a tireless “shopper” and collector of small knick kna cks . Her h o us e wa s always very organized, neat and meticulous. There was a seemingly endless supply of M&M’s in an antique jar on the counter for those who visited. She took great delight in her flowers and garden. It was not uncommon for her to have almost 20 hanging fuchsia baskets on the eaves surrounding her patio. Marie lost the love of her life, Bill, at Christmas time in 2002 from a head injury suffered in a fall at home. She never really fully recovered from that loss; she was broken-hearted. In the fall of 2013, she moved to Spiritwood Assisted Living in Issaquah. Eventually, she began to suffer the debilitating effects of dementia and had to move into the memory care portion of that facility. That is where she was when the Lord took her home. She is survived by her son Bill (Melody) of Rathdrum, ID, daughter Cindy Watson of Tulsa, OK, and son Bob (Denise) of Issaquah, WA. She was grandmother to Jason (Jessica), Danielle, Chris, Nicole, Stephanie (Jermaine) and Ashley (AJ) and great-grandmother to Summer, Archer, Armando, and Paxton. A memorial service will be held later this year when weather allows easier travel. Donations in Marie’s name can be made to Somerset Women for Medic 1, c/o Bellevue Fire Department, PO Box 90012, Bellevue WA, 98009.
