Pat Albrecht

  Pat Albrecht passed peacefully in her sleep on the morning of Aug. 21, 2016.
  Pat was born in Leavenworth, Washington, to Ken and Mary Skelton. A divorce brought mother, Pat and sister Barbara to Seattle. Mother remarried and the family moved to Marysville where Pat graduated from high school. The family moved again to the Woodinville area, where Pat met and married Ed Albrecht nearly 62 years ago on Dec. 11, 1954. They lived in Snohomish County where Pat worked as a bookkeeper for various companies and lastly the school district.
  Survivors of her immediate family are: husband Ed; son Daniel of Snohomish; daughter Allison O’Neill of Blaine; grandson Keagan O’Neill of Bellingham; two granddaughters from the Marysville area, Ashley Pingera and Nicole McDonald, who each recently presented her with a great-granddaughter; a number of nieces, nephews and cousins throughout the state.
