Obituary: Lane, Ruth Elaine Gardipee
Age 76
Her gentle spirit and kind heart will be missed.
She loved and was loved by many, She never met a stranger.
Our holidays and get togethers often had someone, she had just met or worked with, that “didn’t have anyone”.
She is survived by her loving sister and best friend, Mary (Ron) Sellers Bullock.
Children, Lyle, Louie and John Gardipee, Spokane Valley; Denise Allen, Brunswick, Maine; Debbie (Daryl) VanNote, Otis Orchards; Diane Veltri, Donna Johnson both Spokane Valley; J-me (Noel) Carper, Spokane; 13 Grandchildren; 13 Great-Grandchildren.
Her longtime beloved friend Cliff Empson who loved and cared for her these last several years.
She is also survived by her extended family and friends, including several nieces; nephews; all the children she cared for and people of her heart.
From all of us left behind, “We will always love you, to the moon and stars and back”.
Until we meet again… A Celebration of Mom’s Life will be, Sunday August 10, 2014, from 2-4PM, at the Spokane Valley Eagles at 16801 E. Sprague Ave.
It is a pot luck event (Mom’s favorite get together.)
This would have been her 77th birthday.
