Dorothy (DOT) Ann Conley passed away at Harbour Pointe Memory Care Facility in Mukilteo, Washington on April 17, 2024, at the age of 94. She was a loving wife, mother, sister, auntie, grandmother, great grandmother and a friend to many.

Dorothy was born August 15, 1929, in Tieton, Washington. When their home burned down the family bought a dairy farm in Sunnyside, Washington.  Dorothy was the tenth child of eleven children, six boys and five girls.  When all six brothers joined the military to fight in WWII, Dorothy would get up before school to help her Dad milk the cows and help carry the metal cans of milk to the road to be picked up.

After graduating from Yakima High School, Dorothy moved to Seattle to attend college at Seattle University.  During that time, she met and married the love of her life David Conley .  David joined Boeing in 1948 at the age of 19 and later entered into the Boeing Minuteman Program in 1959.  This led to ten years of travel to various cities in the United States  and back to Lynnwood, WA. Dorothy was the glue that held the family together throughout their travels. She enjoyed the friendships she had with the other Boeing wives and joined many bowling leagues during those travels.

When Dave retired from Boeing they enjoyed traveling to Mazatlan, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Finland, Hawaii, China, Jamaica and many places in the United States.

David and Dorothy lived in their Lynnwood home for 30 years and built their vacation home on Guemes Island where they moved permanently in 2005.

Dorothy loved her family and enjoyed getting everything packed and ready to go camping when Dave got off work.  She loved hiking, gardening, fishing, sewing, knitting (creating beautiful sweaters for each of us). She also loved cooking, painting pictures, creating mosaics, genealogy research, family reunions, and bowling. She continued to bowl until the age of 90.

Dorothy was preceded in death by her husband Dave, her grandson Adam, her parents and nine siblings.  She is survived by her sister Nyla, her son David Jr., (LaVonne), twin daughters Christie and Cathie, nine grandchildren, fifteen great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

Dorothy will be remembered by all as kind, gracious, hardworking, and   adventurous.  She was quiet and reserved, yet enjoyed life and a good laugh. She was loved by all who knew her.

Dorothy's final resting place is Eden Cemetery on Guemes Island. To share memories of Dorothy, please visit: www.evanschapel.com/obituary/dorothy-conley .
