Obituary: Raymond F. Rowan

Raymond Francis Rowan, age 96, passed away 4, 2015 in Seattle, Washington after battling many cancers over 40 years. Ever the gentleman, Ray had a compassionate and positive view of humanity. He generously contributed to many charities and was a role model for his family, sharing his good-humored spirit with a twinkle in his eye.

Ray was born 16, 1919, to Raymond C. and Ann Rowan at St. Francis Hospital in Charleston, West Virginia, the oldest of 7 children. His parents were his heroes, living true to their Catholic faith. He attended parochial schools and at the age of 17, left home for the University of Notre Dame where he studied civil engineering and (very) briefly played football.

Ray served in the US Marine Corps and embodied the motto, Semper Fi, in his faithfulness and truthfulness. While stationed in Quantico, Virginia, he fell for Serrita Jane Potter, to whom he was married for 53 years. the war, Ray and Serrita moved to Chicago and lived for a time with their extended family, the Schulhofs, Janes, and Potters, in an All in the Family situation, and Ray honed his debating skills at lively dinners.

Rays career with the Austin began in Chicago in 1945 under Milt Leek. In 1961, he moved the family to Seattle and became a manager supervising the building of the Boeing 747 factory in Everett, Washington - still the largest building in the world today. His job took him around the world, to Europe, South America, and the Middle East, and in 1978 Ray was promoted to VP of Construction and Purchases in the NW District.

The Rowan family lived in Laurelhurst for 53 years, enjoying sunsets from the deck, the Beach Club, and much-loved pets, Girl and Desdemona. At age 68, Ray took up tennis which he played for the next 20 years, competing in tournaments with his doubles partner, daughter Kathy. Ray took terrific care of Serrita during many years of her illness
until she passed away in 1998. He was blessed to be happily married to Irene Peterson for the last 10 years of his life, enjoying travel, new friendships at Merrill Gardens, and daily martinis.

While Ray had the organizational skills of an executive, he had the loving, creative heart of a poet. Starting at age 4, he wowed family and friends with perfect recitations of poems with emotion at dinners, and 90 years later, he was still reciting from memory at the Merrill Gardens monthly mens breakfasts

Ray was preceded in death by his parents and sister, Betty DuBois (Ronald). He is survived by his siblings Marjorie Ridenour (Bob), Mary Dressman (Al), Edward Rowan (Madeline), Thomas Rowan, and Ann Marie Sylvester (Bob); his children Raymond C. Rowan, Kathy Wilson (Chic), and John Rowan (Lydia) of Seattle; Betsy Davies (Bruce)
of Stockton, California; grandchildren Matthew, Ashley, Bridget, Charlie, Gleb, Klim, and great-grandchildren Rowan, Rebecca, Alexa, and Rex.

Rays passing marks the end of an era for his family. He will be cheering the Notre Dame football team from above now. Go Irish!

Mass of Christian burial will be , 10th, at 11:00 a.m. at St. Bridgets Catholic Church in Seattle. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to wvkidscc.org.

Obituary: Elinor Mae Rowan passed away on 24, 2017 in her home. Elinor was born 93 years ago on 29, 1923 in Humboldt, Kansas, the youngest of three children of Walta Earle and John Francis (Frank) Stevens.

Elinor Stevens Stevie graduated from the of Emporia in 1945 with a BA in Education and taught music to junior high and high school students in Bern, Kansas, then became the Supervisor of Elementary School Music in Concordia, Kansas, in 1946.

She met her husband, Lester (Les) Matthew Rowan, when he was on leave from the Air Force. three years of getting "acquainted through letter writing," they married in the fall of 1947 in Humbolt, and settled in Woodinville, Wash., Less home town, where they built a home in the fir forest of Hollywood Hills. She taught music at Woodinville Elementary in 1957-58 and substituted in 1970 for Northshore School District.

While raising her family, Elinor continued to teach voice, violin, and piano private lessons and directed choirs for Woodinville Methodist Church, Cottage Lake Presbyterian Church, Avondale Bible Church, and Bear Creek Community Church. She was often asked to perform solos at life events, known for her clear soprano voice. She refused payment in lieu of a single china tea cup--and the collection grew.

Elinor volunteered regularly at the Union Gospel Mission, and gleaned fruit from eastern Washington orchards to deliver to the local food bank every summer for many years until a ladder injury slowed her down. This same injury made it too painful to play her beloved violin, so she taught herself the mandolin. In her late eighties, she baked cookies for the Awana after-school program once a week.

Elinor was an avid reader, gardener, calligrapher, animal lover, fisherman, volunteer, and musician. She was an expert crochet artist, and also knit and sewed many memorable gifts. She was a long-term member of the Seattle Music Study Club among other church and social groups. Her friendly, warm companionship will be missed by her many friends and family. Her last residence was Riverside East Retirement Community where she formed many friendships and participated in music, art, and played a mean game of Scrabble. Just outside her window there was always a hummingbird visiting, and while inside, an open Bible on her desk.

She is survived by her children Carol Hoffman of Bothell, Barbara Rowan of Seattle, Donna Szekely of Arlington, and Robin Quiroga of Woodinville; three grandchildren, Carry Schmitt of Enumclaw, David M. Grout of Maple Falls, and TJ Berger of Everett; and three great-grandchildren, Trevor and Olivia Schmitt, and Hazel Grout; sisters-in-law Mary Stevens and Louise Rowan, and nieces and nephews Rebecca Mellentin, Phyllis Lehr, Darrel Stevens, Sarah Stevens, Tom Rowan, and Mike Rowan.

She is preceded in death by her husband, parents, her brothers Ronald and Delmar Stevens, brother-in-law Bill Rowan, sister-in-law Elizabeth Stevens, nephew John David Stevens, and loved cat Sasha.
A Ceremony of Life will be held:

, 25, 2017, at 11 a.m.
