Read More	Ruby Isabel Pearson passed away July 29, 2011 in Olympia, Washington. She was born to Vadna Lee (Grant) and Charles L. Clifford on October 21, 1920, in the community of Greenacres in the Spokane Valley. She is predeceased by her sisters Alice Kelley and Mabel Kidd, brothers Glen and Vern Clifford, and grandson Bradley Thomas Pearson. She is survived by her two daughters, a son and granddaughter. Ruby lived in the Spokane area until she was 12, when the family moved to Dayton, outside of Shelton. They spent their first months living in a tent while they built their home, which was later occupied by Harry and Mabel Kidd and their family, and now by their grandson Brain Chapman and his family. Ruby graduated from Irene S. Reed High School in 1938. She married William (Bill) Lawrence Pearson in 1939. They lived in Amarillo, Texas while Bill was stationed at Fort Worth with the Army Air Corps, then moved back to Shelton. In 1967 they moved to Olympia, then to Sequim in 1982, returning to Shelton in 1991, where Bill passed away in 1992. Ruby worked part-time at the Simpson Credit Union, which Bill managed for several years, then at the Farmers Insurance Group office which he managed for many years. In 1965 she went to work for the Washington State Dept. of Labor and Industries and later for the Dept. of Social and Health Service, retiring, in 1982. As a family we spent many days driving the "mountains" of Mason County, picking wild blackberries, picnicking at Carson Lake, wending through the Skokomish Valley and along Hood Canal and one of our favorite places, Rocky Brook Falls. Our favorite summer trips were driving "around the loop," marveling at the depth and coldness of Lake Crescent, the pink sand of Kalaloch, and the huge trees and ferns of the Hoh and Quinault rain forests. Mom loved the verdant green of Western Washington and passed her interest in nature on to us. We were always a family with cats. Mom loved these animals that showed up as strays – and later as the offspring of our strays – and we grew up appreciating the feel of a soft furry kitty curled up in a lap or at the foot of the bed. References to Calico, Goulash, Sitter, Tinkerbell, Paddlefoot and other long-gone felines would find their way into our conversations over the years. Mom continued to keep cats for most of her life, until cats underfoot became a danger. If she had had a magic wand she would surely have first waved it for world peace and an end to hunger, but the second wave would have been for all the kitties in the world to have loving homes. If you would like, you might consider a donation to Kitten Rescue (420 State Rte 3, Shelton WA 98584) or Feline Friends (6515 Sexton Drive, Olympia WA 98502), both of which Mom supported. At Mom's request there will be no services, but the family will gather at a later date to remember her.
