Dorothy Mae Bostian passed away on September 8, 2006, at home with her daughters at her side after a short but courageous battle with lung cancer.

Born in 1926 in Minot, North Dakota, she moved to Seattle with her family in 1936.

Dorothy worked as a civilian for the Navy from 1944 to 1952. She took time off to raise two daughters with her husband, Ken. She went back to work in 1970 at Riverton Hospital and retired from there in 1988.

She is survived by her daughters Pamela Slapnik (Gene) and Nancy Northam (Ken); sister Marjorie Morse; grandsons Corey and Kenny Worrell; step-granddaughters Francine Buker and Suzanne Bostian; and three great-grandchildren.

No services were held but remembrances may be made in her name to Highline Home Health and Hospice, who were wonderful to her and our family the last couple months of her life. We are eternally grateful for their expert care, support and understanding during this time.
