Mary Anne Charron

Obituary Mary Anne Charron Mary Anne Charron, 47, was born on March 21, 1967 at Madigan Army Hospital, Ft. Lewis, WA and left us peacefully on May 15, 2014 at home in Bonney Lake, WA after over an 8 year battle with breast cancer. Mary was a very special human being. She truly affected every person she met. Mary Graduated from Spanaway Lake High School in 1985; Fort Steilacoom CC in 1987 and was a proud Washington State Cougar graduate in 1989. Mary graduated with honors and very near the top of her class at every level. Her business degree prepared her well to be the bookkeeper and accounting specialist for the family's business. Mary's biggest thrills were watching her three daughters in their sporting and performance activities. We will all remember how she loved to escape to the family's lake property in Shelton for weekend getaways. Mary is survived by her husband of nearly 24 years, Vallan Charron; her daughters, Megan (20), Melissa (18) and Madeline (12); her parents, Albert and Donna Zils; her brother, Mike (Jackie) Zils; and sister, Karen (Tyron) Christopherson. Her 7 nieces and nephews will also miss her dearly. Mary was a practicing Catholic and will be remembered at a Funeral Mass on Saturday, June 21, 2014 at 11:00am at All Saints Catholic Church in Puyallup, WA followed by a reception in the adjacent school's cafeteria.
