Bunny - Erma Irene Hogland

BUNNY

BUNNY was born Erma Irene Dunn on March 23, 1953, in Hardin Montana to Joseph and Lucielle (Brody) Dunn. Her mother later married Calvin Talley who raised her and was a loving father. Bunny passed away on August 25, 2024, at Providence Hospital in Everett, WA when she was 71 years old.

Bunny and her family moved to Washington State when she was 13 years old. She graduated from Everett High School in 1971.

Bunny’s daughter, Crystal Sietz, was born on October 16, 1974. She married the love of her life, Albert Everett Hogland, on November 22, 1980. Her beloved grandson James Miller was born September 1, 2009. Al and Bunny adore James and have raised him with an abundance of love and affection.

Bunny loved the Lord and was a devoted Seventh Day Adventist. Unfortunately, in her later years, due to health and mobility issues she was unable to regularly attend services, but her love for the lord never wavered.

Bunny loved life. She was sassy, wicked smart, and was very loving and generous to all who knew her. Her hobbies were painting, ribbon making, planting, and growing flowers, landscaping design, traveling, listening to music, and watching movies.

During her life Bunny worked for the City of Everett in the Parks Department, also for the Mayor of Everett as a stenographer, and the General Hospital as an admitting receptionist. Later Bunny and Al opened and operated Pro Paving Company. Throughout their marriage they purchased and developed multiple properties and enjoyed real estate investment.

Bunny’s family and friends greatly miss her and cherish all the great memories that they have.

___________________________

I'd like the memory of me

To be a happy one.

I'd like to leave an afterglow

Of smiles

When life is done.

I'd like to leave an echo whispering

Softly down the ways.

Of happy times and laughing times

And bright sunny days.

I'd like the tears of those who grieve,

To dry before the sun

Of happy memories that I leave

When life is done.
