Helen S. Partridge

Helen S. Partridge, Moses Lake resident, died at home peacefully on Sept. 20, 2008. She was 78. Helen was born to Andrew and Sadie (Terech) Demchuck in Cle Elum, on June 10, 1930.

Helen graduated from Cle Elum High School and went on to work as a secretary at the University of Washington for over 20 years. She enjoyed bingo, gardening, camping and family reunions.

Helen is survived by her husband of 48 years, Keith Partridge; their daughter Linda and her husband Dave, son Darrell, daughter Cheryl and husband George, and daughter Deborah; nine grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents, brother Frank Demchuck, brother William Demchuck, and brother Joseph Demchuck.

Helen was a loving wife and mother, and a very approachable and easy-to-talk-to friend. She will sorely be missed by many. At her request, no services will be held.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Central Basin Home Health and Hospice.

Helen’s family has asked Carver Family Funeral Home, Moses Lake, to care for arrangements.
