Nancee Estelle Raines Vernon
Nancee Estelle Raines Vernon passed away at the age of 88 on March the 2nd, 2014, at 9:29 PM at her home in Moses Lake, Washington. She was born at Swedish Hospital in Seattle, WA, on September the 1st, 1925, to Cecil Erwin Raines and Frances Esther Morley Raines. Out of 4 children born to the couple, one other child, Cecilia, survived infancy. The children were not blessed with secure beginnings, so Nancee spent parts of her childhood with her parents on Queen Anne Hill, and the greater part of her growing up years living with her maternal grandmother, Nancy Pearl Welch Morley, in the rural area of Riverton Heights, WA. Until High School, Nancee attended a different school every year, if she did not attend more. Nancee remembers an especially tender and caring teacher in Riverton Heights, a Mrs. Bowers, who left wonderful memories and a very favorable impression on her life. Perhaps it was she who helped to inspire Nancee to do well in school and to graduate Salutatorian of Highline High School. Nancee was also crowned Queen of Riverton Heights in her senior year.
