- [S927] Obituary.
Loretta Marie Lande Niles died peacefully in her sleep on October 11, 2014.
Lorrie was born in Seattle on January 26, 1956, the third daughter of Bob and Mary Ann Lande. She grew up on the Lande Farm on Vashon Island, attending Vashon schools and doing all the things Vashon kids do. She was an Island Girl through and through and proud of it!
After graduating from Vashon High School in 1974, Lorrie moved to Seattle where she went to work for Rainier National Bank and then for Washington Mutual Bank. She spent her career in personal banking and was always much loved by her clients and co-workers for her high spirits and knowledge of the banking world.
In 1987 Lorrie married her high school boyfriend, John Niles, and together they had two children, Alexandra in 1988 and Jacob in 1989. Lorrie was a fun loving and doting mother who was very involved in the activities and education of her kids. She loved gardening, cooking, games of all kinds, and was a star member of a bowling team for many years at West Seattle Bowl.
Lorrie is survived by her husband, John, of Vashon; her daughter Allie Solis (Noel) of Seattle and grandsons Francisco and Santiago; her son Jake Niles of Pomona, California; her father and stepmother, Robert and Darline Lande of Vashon; her sisters Debbie Sandvig and Melinda Sechrist, both of Seattle; her brothers Bob Lande of Long Beach, California and Michael Lande of Vashon; and numerous nephews and nieces. Lorrie's mother, Mary Ann Lande, predeceased her in 1993.
A Rosary will be held on Wednesday, October 29th 7pm at St. John Vianney and the funeral Mass will be held Thursday, October 30th, at 1 pm, at St. John Vianney Catholic Church on Vashon Island. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to The West Seattle Food Bank.
