Mary McFadden
Mary McFadden, passed away November 14, 2012 in Bellingham, WA. She was born January 5, 1933 to Jacob and Katherine Augster in Sacramento, CA, where she resided until she met her husband Paul V. McFadden while working at McClellan Air Force Base. They married August 14, 1954 and moved to Seattle. Both Paul and Mary were very active in the Catholic Church and their journey with God led them first to Bellingham where they both were members of Assumption Catholic Church for approximately 10 years and then to Friday Harbor where they became Eucharistic ministers and active members of Saint Francis Parish.
Mary’s passions were her faith, her family and her crafts. She was a world traveler, enjoying new cultures and experiences. She valued spending time with her family, camping, and playing bingo and card games. She also enjoyed crafting, crocheting, and adding salt and pepper shakers to her collection of nearly 800 sets.
She is survived by sisters Joan and Kay of California; her children, Kevin (Julie) McFadden, Karen (Steve) Van Etten, Kathy McFadden, Ken McFadden, Keith (Charmaine) McFadden, Kurt (Suzie) McFadden, Paul (Debbie) McFadden, Kariann (Brian Sr.) Kerntke, and Tom (Elise) McFadden;16 grandchildren; 6 great-grandchildren and numerous other family members and friends.

I will always treasure all of our times together as a Family, whether it be, the times at the Lake Blodell, Montana camping trips, hanging out at Grandma’s house, and most recently the get together’s at Mike and Joy’s. We have so many memories that we shared and I feel truly blessed to have such a loving extended Family!

To all the loving Family & Friends, may I offer my sympathy in the painful loss of your Mary. She lived a very full life & will be sorely missed by the many who she met along the way. Hopefully you will find a measure of comfort & peace in the following Bible Verses. Rev21:4-5 “AND HE WILL WIPE OUT EVERY TEAR FROM THEIR EYES & DEATH WILL BE NO MORE,THE FORMER THINGS HAVE PASSED AWAY.”
