Dallas Edward Peterson

Dallas Edward Peterson, beloved husband of Leora, with whom he celebrated 73 years of marriage on January 6, 2012, father to Kay Martin, Joan Hilling (Robert), Janet Elmore (Michael), Ed Peterson (Christina), and Lorraine Lundberg (Ernie), left us to begin his heavenly journey on January 15, 2012. He also leaves 13 grandchildren, 20 great grandchildren, and 1 great greatgrandson.

Dallas was born to Stella and ElRoy Peterson on May 2, 1916 in Lyons, Nebraska, and a resident of Washington State since 1956, residing in Snohomish, Everett, and for the past four years at Windsor Square Retirement Center in Marysville. He was preceded in death by his parents, siblings, and daughter Kay and great granddaughter Jessica.

Dallas retired from Everett Fish Company in 1978, but his heartfelt stories of his Nebraska farm will remain in our memories forever. He was a member of Teamsters Local 38 and a cherished member of Everett First Covenant Church for over 35 years. He will always be remembered for the hugs of love he extended to all those he met.

A celebration of life will be held at Everett First Covenant Church, 4502 Rucker Avenue, on Saturday January 28 at 4 PM with Pastor Bill Goodwin and Pastor Jason Mohn officiating. Dad requested that any memorials be sent to Hospice of Snohomish County, or First Covenant Church. Rest in peace Dad, and know you are loved by all. We will forever keep you in our hearts and souls. Dallas’s care has been entrusted to Evergreen Funeral Home and Cemetery of Everett, WA.
