Kate Chase, 91

Lifelong Alaskan Kate Ebana Chase, 91, died Oct. 12, 2005, in Anchorage.

A memorial service will be at 1 p.m. Saturday at St. Christopher's Episcopal
Church in Anchorage. A potluck gathering will be afterward at the church. A
funeral will be Wednesday in Anvik, with the Rev. Judith Lethin officiating.

Mrs. Chase was born Oct. 5, 1914, in Dikeman, on the east bank of the Iditarod
River, to James and Cecelia Ebana. At age 3, she lost her mother to illness and
went to live in Anvik at Christ Church Mission. At the mission, she attended
school and remained there until age 18.

In 1934, she married William Chase. Together they had seven children and raised
numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Her family wrote: "A God-loving woman and loving mother, Kate was a determined
woman who lived by her own standards. Her faith in God pulled her through many
hard times. She knew the importance of God in the lives of her children. She
would use statements like: Don't drink, don't smoke and go to church. Mom knew
the importance of God in our lives.

"She always instructed her children in what was right, stressing that
forgiveness was better than revenge. She was a very resourceful mother, making
use of what was at hand to comfort her family.

"Our mother loved to travel and see new places and liked being outdoors. She ran
her own trapline with her children and grandchildren, walking from morning to
evening. She always counseled us to use common sense and good judgment in our
lives."

Mrs. Chase is survived by her children, Rudy Chase, Allan Chase, Gloria Chase,
Ken Chase, Calvin Chase, Ernie Chase, Leonard Chase and Clinton Chase;
great-grandchild, Jarethan Chase; and many other grandchildren,
great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Williams Chase; sisters, Florence
Stack and Emily Ebana; and brothers, Jim Ebana Jr., Will Ebana and Joe Frank.
