Marie Nakata
Marie passed away July 12, 2008 at Swedish Hospital surrounded by family and friends. The only daughter of Koshiro and Katuya Furukawa, Marie was born on June 27, 1922 in The Dalles, OR.
At a young age, Marie moved with her family to Sunnyside, WA where she received her education and graduated with honors from Sunnyside High School. With the outbreak of WWII, Marie was relocated to an internment camp. In 1945, she married Ted Nakata and they moved to Seattle where they had more than 43 years together before his passing in 1988.
Marie was not only a wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother but worked as a receptionist at Broadmoor G&CC, operated a diner and spent many years in the dry cleaning business with Ted and her brother Fred. Her passions were sports, games of chance and her religion. Marie was an accomplished bowler and swimmer. She closely followed all the Seattle professional teams and the U.W. Huskies. Marie was a regular at Longacres and was known to frequent casinos both locally and in Reno. She especially enjoyed her Friday night poker games with the gang. She was a long time member of St. Peters Episcopal Church.
She was preceded in death by her five brothers, Hiroshi, John, Fred, Isaac and Ben. Marie is survived by sons Larry (Aileen) and James (Joy), grandchildren Tracie and Ryan (Amy) and three great grandsons.
A memorial service will be held at St. Peters Episcopal Church, 1610 So. King St., Seattle, WA 98144, on Saturday, July 26th at 1:00 p.m. Memorials may be made to St. Peters.
