Dianne Schlicke (nee Harlson) Passed away peacefully in her sleep after a short battle with cancer. She was preceded in death by her parents Lyle and Dorothy Harlson and brother Kris Harlson of Tacoma, WA. She is survived by her husband Gordon, and brothers David Harlson, Lake Forest Park, Donald Harlson of Tampa, FL. and three daughters: Pamela Standlee of Mukilteo, Jillayne Schlicke of Edmonds, and Jennifer Nicholas, of Keene, NH. Dianne leaves behind six grandchildren, Caden, Annelise Joshua, Jordan, Cassidy, and Miranda.
Dianne and Gordon would have celebrated their 46th wedding anniversary this November. Her career in Mortgage Banking spanned 34 years. She worked for Seafirst Bank in both residential and commercial lending; and The Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle. After retirement, she and Gordon enjoyed cruising and trips to Northern Europe music festivals.
Her daughters will greatly miss the values she modeled and the stabling force she was in their lives. Dianne loved everyone around her including our Golden Retriever and cat "Nala."
A private Family Remembrance Gathering is planned. In lieu of flowers, a contribution to The American Cancer Society is suggested.
