Karyne Ware
Dies in Seattle
Karyne (nee Strom) Ware “entered into the next realm of her existence” on Oct. 3, 2015. She was 78.
A longtime resident of Roslyn, Wash., she was in the hospital in Seattle at the time of her death.
Born in Everett, Wash., on Aug. 26, 1937, she claimed a varied and interesting time on this earth. She often stated, “I’ve done everything in this life I’ve ever wanted to do, and more than a few things that I probably shouldn’t have done, and I embrace the next phase of my existence.
She is survived by sons Kameron Ware of Savannah, Ga., Patrick Scarboro of Arlington, Wash., and Mitchell Ware of Albany, N.Y.; stepson Wesley Ware of N. Lakewood, Wash.; and stepdaughter LuCinda Williams of Sitka.
She also is survived by four grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, as well as brother Andy Strom of Yakima, Wash., half-sister Paula Arnold of Everett, Wash., and Jon Strom of Granite Falls, Wash.
At her request no services will be held. However, in keeping with the wonderful words of a friend who recently passed, she wished only that her friends “do a kindness for someone else as well as for the animal critters who look to us humans for care.”
