Update on the Walter and Viola Peterson Clan

We have received update on the Walter Peterson branch of the family from Karen Engvall.  Thanks, Karen



Joyce Peterson,  Laurence Peterson’s wife, passed away at the age of 94, on July 25, 2012. Joyce and her daughter, Lerri, were at the Washington reunion in 2008.

Curtis F Peterson, son of Walter and Viola, passed away at the age of 87, on August 23, 2012.  He did not recover from surgery for an obstructed bowel.  Curt was at the Spearfish reunion in 2002.

Julie Smith, 59, daughter of Lu & Ted Dethlefs, passed away in Kent WA, the night of September 9th. (I don’t know yet if it was on the 9th or 10th for the genealogists among you.  We are waiting to hear more later).  Julie has fought a valiant battle with breast cancer  which also took her sister, Peggy Dethlefs in 2004.  Peggy’s husband Marvin died Feb. 11, 2011.  He was at the Washington reunion in 2008.  Ted, Lu’s husband and the girls’ father, died May 7, 2011.  An a brighter side, Kelly, Peg & Marvin’s daughter, was married to Matt Palmer on August 19, 2012 in Portland.  Julie and her friend, Russ Martin, were at the Lake Coeur d'Alene reunion in 2005.
