Edith Sondland, 88, passed away on September 13, 2011, joining her beloved husband, Harry. Born in Berlin, Germany, Edith came to Seattle with her family after 12 years in Shanghai, China as a German refugee during World War II. The Broadview area was her home for 40 years. Her devotion to her husband and family always came first. After Harry’s death, she moved to Ida Culver/Broadview and then, as her health declined, to the Stratford Maple Leaf. Edith always had a smile on her face and a kind word. She will be missed by her family, friends and all whose lives she touched.
She is survived by daughters Ruth Lerner (Jeff), Marion Gabrlik (Denny), grandchildren Jason, David, Leah, and Ben, and great-granddaughter Alyssa.
Contributions may be donated to the Kline Galland Home and Jewish Family Service.
