Leona Agnes Ederer Quitslund

Bainbridge resident Leona Agnes Ederer Quitslund, age 95, died June 14 in Seattle.

She was born April 4, 1908 in Woodland to Ludwig Ederer and Katherine Kohler. She graduated from Sacred Heart School in Portland, Ore., and attended Girls’ Polytechnic, studying millenary.

She enjoyed travel to the end of her life; before marrying, she would save money for boat trips to San Francisco.

She married Phelps Garney Quitslund in July 1932. They raised four children, in Portland, Ore., Seattle, Panther Lake and North Bend. In 1965 they retired to Bainbridge, where her husband had been born and raised.

She enjoyed sewing, knitting, gardening and cooking.

After her husband died in 1985, she moved to Eugene, Ore., where she lived from 1986 to 2002, before returning to the island last June.

During those years, she traveled to Mexico, Hawaii, the Bahamas, and frequently to the East Coast. Her last trip was to Washington, D.C. in April, at age 95.

She is survived by her children Garnie, Sonya, Tanya (Mason) and Ingrid; five grandchildren: Eric and Josef Quitslund, Teresa Bailey, Tammie Jordahl and Derek Mason; and eight great-grandsons — Aaron and Timothy Quitslund, Dominic and Malachi Mason, Tyler Bailey, Cameron and Joshua Jordahl and River Quitslund.

Services will be held at 11 a.m. June 28 at St. Cecilia Catholic Church. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Marge Williams Office Center, or a charity of the donor’s choice.
