"She was always ready to cheer people up," a member of the Parmenter family told the West Seattle Herald. "If you were in a bad mood she would poke at you to find out why you were upset. She was a fixer. She was fun, and always the center of attention. She helped out at the bar when needed, but was more of a guest there than an employee in recent years."
