FYI DEATH
1FOOZ - )PMLF 8JFT Penny L. Holke Wies, 69, of Sunnyside, Wash., died on Monday, Dec. 3, 2012, surrounded by the men of her life, her husband Gary and her grandson Jacob. Mrs. Wies was born on May 25, 1943, to Don and Marie (Hogens) Holke in Seattle. She was a hard worker her entire life. Working in the K2 factory from 1961 to 1969, she and
her mother were the only two women to work there in K2’s early days. In March 1971, she married Gary Wies, and the couple made their home in Grandview, Wash. Mrs. Wies would rise early every morning, be it summer or winter, to haul water down the hill to the eight or 10 calves that she raised. She finally talked her husband into putting in a water line. Mrs. Wies worked at Libby’s H & H Eggs, managed Harrison Heights Apartments and worked in the cafeteria at Sunnyside Community Hospital for 13 years until she retired in 2004. In her retirement, Mrs. Wies continued to work mornings at Safeway and
afternoons at Lava Rock Nursery. She retired from those jobs in 2011 due to health issues. Mrs. Wies’ greatest joys in life were her flowers and her animals. She was survived by her husband Gary, children Doug and Toni and grandson Jacob. Three stepchildren, Michelle, Sadie and Annie, also survive her. She is preceded in death by her parents Don and Marie Holke, her brother Donald S. Holke and stepson Eugene. At Mrs. Wies’ request, there will be no memorial service.

HONORS 8FTU $PBTU CSJEHF UPVSOBNFOU XJOOFST The Vashon Duplicate Bridge Club participated in a West Coast American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) Tournament with four games last Thursday and Friday. The most significant outcome was a spectacular performance by the team of Beth de Groen and Jude Boardman. They played a 69.27 percent game and placed fourth of 1,252 pairs in the Friday afternoon competition. About 20 club members participated in the tournament, and Islanders’ scores were sent in to the ACBL and compared with those of players in Washington, California, Oregon and British Columbia to determine placing. About 40 Islanders participate in the bridge club. Bridge classes for beginning and intermediate players are offered every Wednesday at the Vashon Senior Center. Duplicate games are held most Fridays. For more information about lessons or games, contact James Dam, director of the club, at 567-5279.
