Rosemarie Tharaldson, 76, of Tacoma, Washington, passed away November 30, 2005 
at the Franciscan Hospice in Tacoma. 

She was born October 31, 1929, in Tryon, Nebraska, to John and Ethel 
(Hildenbran) McClees, and moved to Kelso in 1935, where she grew up, married, 
and raised her children. She was a 1947 graduate of Kelso High School. She and 
her husband spent their last several years together on the road in their 
motorhome, sightseeing, visiting friends and family, and wintering in Palm 
Springs, where she enjoyed playing tennis. They recently returned to the 
Northwest to live with their daughter in Tacoma. Her enduring strength came 
from her steadfast faith in the Lord, who carried her through tragedy and loss. 
Throughout her life she was a wonderful example of strength, patience, 
understanding, and devotion. She devoted her life to her husband and family, 
always putting them first. She has developed many friends over the years and 
has been a blessing to them all. She was preceded in death by a daughter, Susan 
Margaret Tharaldson in 1968. 

Survivors include her husband of 56 years, Marvin Tharaldson at home; daughter, 
Sandra Eklo of Tacoma; sister and brother-in-law, Marla and Lloyd Inman of 
Kelso; brothers and sisters-in-law, Harold and Dorothy McClees of Broken Arrow, 
Oklahoma and Gerald and Char McClees of Centralia; grandson, Andrew Eklo and 
great granddaughter Bijoux Eklo-Rolstad.

Church of the Nazarene with Rev. Bill Gwinn officiating. Private interment will 
follow at Cowlitz View Memorial Gardens. Memorial contributions may be offered
