We just recently heard of the passing of Judy (Johnson) Kane on May 30, 2022. I had Judy in my homeroom class and I remember her as very nice, quiet and smart. Judy graduated from the University of Puget Sound in 1969, Alpha Phi Sorority. She is survived by her twin sister Julie Anne Johnson of Seattle.

Our classmate David Neil Williams recently passed away. At Wilson, Dave was a member of the Honor Society and the Chess Club and he graduated with honors. I remember Dave as well respected, good mannered, quick with a joke, and a nice looking guy too. He was a gentle soul.
We will post his obituary when it becomes available in the New Year.
Toni passed away peacefully at home on October 26, 2021.
Toni was involved in a lot of activities at Wilson. She was a member of the Student Council, Honor Society and Varja (Wilson girls honorary service organization). Toni was the class of '65 Treasurer and one of three Daffodil Princesses. She did all that and graduated with honors.
We will all remember Toni as pretty, popular, smart, tall and very nice to everyone.
Susan (Neumann) Fagering passed away peacefully the morning of Sunday, July 25th 2021. Susan was born in North Dakota and then grew up in Tacoma. She married her Wilson HS sweetheart Bob Fagering after she graduated and they've been together ever since.
Her Memorial Service will be held at 5:00 PM on Saturday, August 14th at the VFW Hall, 4741 N Baltimore St. in Tacoma, WA.
Dear Wilson Class of '65 Alumni,
We hope you are all well and happy.
We've been keeping our fingers crossed that things would be back to normal soon. We cancelled our September reservation for the Tacoma Yacht Club earlier this year. Although things are starting to open up, the Tacoma Yacht Club is still closed until further notice and not taking reservations at this time.
We really want to get everyone together as soon as possible, so we don't want to wait until our 60th reunion in 2025. Since things are still up in the air right now, we will reassess our options when things are more opened up and normal. We will keep you posted when we have news about our next event.
Until then, everyone stay safe and healthy.
Merrie LaBelle passed away on March 25, 2021 peacefully at her residence in Lakewood, WA. At Wilson, Merrie was a member of the Girls Glee Club.
