Jeffrey Paulson posted a condolence
Tuesday, September 21, 2021
Dear Mom, I am writing this for you, in your honor.
I remember you always telling me the story about how when I was born, you brought me home from the hospital, and Chris immediately said, “Can we have Christmas now?” And after that, for as long as I can remember, your home was never decorated for the holidays until after my birthday. And every year, I remember that. You were there for me, Mom, and I remember…
I remember as a little boy, getting out of the swimming pool and you toweling me off, and me saying to you “all clean!” You would say, “Now there’s my Jeffrey.” I can still feel the water droplets and goose bumps on my skin. You were there for me, Mom, and I remember…
I remember the “loud” summer shirts that you sewed for me and Tom. Kurt and Bobby were jealous so you made each of them their own shirts. Kurt loved his so much that his mother got mad at him because he would never take it off. When we pulled them out of the dryer and quickly put them back on, the metal snaps burned our skin. I can still see the shapes and bright colors of our shirts. You were there for me, Mom, and I remember…
I remember when you drove us to school for the first time in the new station wagon. The first time you used the brakes; we were all launched forward in our seats. It was new technology ~ power brakes! We walked home from school that day and for the rest of the week. I can still feel the cold vinyl blue seat cover on my face. You were there for us, Mom, and I remember…
I remember in my teenage years, coming home from morning workouts to a box of Cheerios, along with a half-loaf of French toast before school. Topped with powder sugar of course! You happily cooked me whatever I wanted and allowed me to consume as much as I could. And you never complained, even though you had worked at the hospital all night the night before. I can still hear the sound of the spatula on the cast iron flipping the French toast. You were there for me, Mom, and I remember …
Wherever and whenever I competed in a swim meet, you were there to help out wherever needed. You were always smiling. You were there for me, Mom, and I remember…
I could never get my clothes as clean as you could. A mother’s touch! After visiting you and Dad, when I would return to college, I would pull my clean clothes out of my laundry bag and quietly smile. How nice it was that my mom did my laundry! And you never complained. I remember the light touch of the clothes and the clean clothes smell, and you were there for me, Mom, and I remember…
When my son Michael began competing in sports, you and Dad were there too. Standing in all types of weather. And Mom, I remember.
I remember walking in to Harborview at night, and the nurse at the front door asking me who I was there to see. I told her and she sat there and smiled. Then she asked me what number I was. Mom, I was never so proud as I was at that moment in time to say, “I am number 5!” It was an honor to show up and be there for you. And Mom, I remember.
Then Dad passed, and you were taken. And I wasn’t strong enough or smart enough to understand or to help, and for this, I am sorry.
Mom, writing this has been so hard. Writing this means that you have passed away and are gone. And I am not ready to say goodbye because we just got you back! No more sitting and watching the Olympics on TV together. No more phone calls just to say hi. Instead, we have to say good bye. I will miss seeing you and your beautiful blue eyes…the ones that we all share, handed down from your mother Catherine.
I know that you still had things left to teach all of us. Heck, last year while you were staying overnight with Debbie and me, you taught us how to properly fold a fitted sheet. And who knew you had a hidden desire to be an interior decorator?! I learned that your greatest regret was that your mother, my grandmother Catherine, never met any of her 42 grandchildren. Not one of them! And oh, how you beamed when you talked about your 10 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren. And you met them ALL! And how you told me that Michael reminded you so much of your father, Alfred Christian.
One of the last times you were able to speak, you made me cry. I walked up to your bed, leaned down close to your face to greet you. You opened your eyes and said to me, “Now there’s my Jeffrey.” I can still hear you say that. I don’t want you to go Mom, but I know you have to, and well…that’s alright too…
Jeffrey #5

My journey with Josephine began with a visit and meal at the Mountlake Terrace family home. I was very comfortable with the setting and the chaos that comes from executing a family meal and I admired the calmness Jo presented while she controlled the kitchen. I remember meeting a few of the six siblings. I am one of seven siblings so the crowd, the conversations, the poking fun, the laughter … all seemed normal to me. As I sat at the kitchen table, Jo recounted a story about a house cat that dared cross the kitchen counter. “Someone” grabbed the cat, open the second story window by the kitchen sink and launch the cat out. Of course, cats are known for surviving this kind of activity and as far as I know, this cat likely did. However, he was not likely to attempt another crossing of the countertop, only to be launched again! I was not shocked by the story Jo told. She reminded me of my own mother who was also a farm girl, one of 11 siblings, and would have given that cat the same “strong suggestion” to stay off the counter as Jo did. Cats do not belong on the counter! When Steve and I prepared to depart in the car, he didn’t pull away immediately. He told me that his mom would make her way to the front window to wave goodbye. Of course, she did. She waved from a window every time we would leave regardless of where she lived. It sticks in my memory and it sticks in my heart. I love Josephine. Her gesture says so much about her feelings … not always verbalized, but always meant. She waved her love to me.

Hello Paulson family! I am so sorry to hear about Jo passing away! She was an amazing woman! I remember Jo and Jo (my mom) and Jo McDonough always around St Pius together helping at the school and at all the church events. I loved her red ear muffs! Jo had such a beautiful smile and always greeted me so warmly when I saw her up at the church. We will miss her! Take care. Nancy and the Wojack Family

Well....Hello and Goodby mom...looking back...so glad that you ended up living with my family for 17 years after dad died. Understandable as your loss with dad and the family home 5, we were happy to be the anchor you needed to regain your health. Both bilateral knees, pacemaker etc helped you live a happy and productive life...all the way to 94 yrs! As we shared our chosen profession of Nursing..we both knew what was always happening for medical decisions! I really enjoyed touring both Saint Peter's hospital in Olympia, where you trained as well as seeing where you lived as a student. I was always honored to be named after my Grandmother, Mary, your mom, who was also an RN. Honored also to have Erin Josephine and my granddaughter Linnea Josephine carry your name.Erin is an RN as well, carring on the legacy! I also enjoyed taking you to your Nurses reunions twice a year for years!I will never forget our awesome 2 week trip touring Italy together! The daily mass services in all the Catherdrals as well as Saint Peter's Square. When Pope Francis drove by only 2 feet away....that was just awesome!. We were truly blessed! Very proud that we both are Catholic Daughter of America and that you are a Charter Member at Saint Pius! We shared many meetings at Saint Pius with not only Catholic Daughters but The Ladies Guild as well! Really enjoyed all those auctions for charity and Christmas parties with the women!! I have kept all the writing journals you wrote about your life and will cherish them! My family already misses playing Domino's with you and discussing current sports events as well as political issues. I also know how the ladies at the Senior Center miss their sharp pinochle player! Thanks for embroidering all 3 of my grandchildren a baby blanket. They love them and will cherish them forever! My family just celebrated our own memorial honoring you! It was a great party! We all shared Great Grandma Josephine stories and we all dearly miss you. It was hard to send you West to reconnect with others...but it worked out well as now you and they have resent memories/photo's to cherish!Selfishly My family was so glad to have you as a part of us for so long ,all to ourselves! You are and will be sorely missed! We know that you are in a better place resting at peace with dad Love, your daughter and family Mary

God looked around in His empty garden And He found an empty place And then He looked down upon the earth And he saw your tired face He put His arms around you And lifted you to rest God’s garden must be beautiful He always takes the best He knew that you were suffering He knew you were in pain He knew you would never Get well on earth again He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb So he closed your weary eyelids And whispered, “Peace be thine” It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn’t go alone For part of us went with you The day God called you home Kathy

Grandma Jo, Your legacy lives on in your many children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. We'll always remember your incredible kindness, thoughtfulness ,and the occasional quiet snark when you thought no one would hear! I will especially cherish the few times you were able to meet my son, your great grandson, Cassius, and share tidbits of wisdom that only come from having six babies of your own. You will always be with us. Love, Amanda

Jo was one of the sweetest women I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. She reminded me quite a bit of my grandmother...a beautiful person inside and out. Even at 94-years-old, her hair was thick and her skin was as soft as a baby's behind. Jo loved sweets and we always tried to have a dessert prepared when she came to our home for dinner. She was an easy guest to entertain, as she didn't require much attention, and enjoyed reading and watching sports on TV. Jo was humble, polite and never complained about anything. I never heard her swear or say a mean thing about anyone. She was quick to praise, and slow to criticize. She always spoke enthusiastically about all of her children. She kept potentially-sore subjects peaceful by using phrases such as "we'll see" and "that's fine" and if she heard an opinion different than her own, she would say "And that's OK too." I am grateful to have gotten to know Jo...especially these last few years. The world could definitely use more people like her. May she rest in peace, but may her legacy of kindness live on in those she leaves behind.

My best memories with her remain in the Mountlake Terrace house along with our grandfather; playing in the basement and yard, or watching Wizard of Oz on their old TV. She lived a long life full of love and experience, I hope without regret. Goodnight, travel well, and say hi to David for us.

Dear Mom, I am so proud to be your son. You have been an amazing mother and I miss you. I have always been proud to stand next to you. You have been an inspiration to me and a guiding light. Although you shared your life with parents, siblings, husband, children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, for nearly a century, I am deeply saddened as your passing still seems too soon. Life with you, Mom, has been full- full of fun, full of tears, and full of all life has thrown at you. Besides losing you, mother, I have lost a friend and a voice of reason and encouragement. I struggle to realize you are gone. I believe you always have found strength in your devotion to your faith. My hope for you is total peace from the battles of life and blessed comfort from your Shepard in heaven. Your loving son, Steve

To my mother who worked hard all of her life and cherish all six of us kids. She was the ‘soccer mom’ before the term was invented. She took us everywhere, our games, practices, friends homes, etc…she attended all of our games…she co-signed for my first loan when I purchased my first car. She helped me get my job to help pay for my 1st 2 years of college. She chased me around the yard with a hair brush to paddle my butt. LOL, she could never catch me! She paid for my piano lessons for three years. She let us drive the ‘pink panther’ to school when I got my license. (it was a ‘57 Plymouth station wagon) She was in attendance when my children and grandchildren were born. And, my children and grandchildren WERE in attendance her last days on earth! My mother did a great job for us!
