Della Sartwell Obituary


DELLA MARGUERITE (PRICE) SARTWELL
September 29, 1914 ~ April 16, 2016

Della Marguerite (Price) Sartwell, 101, of Centralia, WA, went to meet her Lord and Savior on April 16, 2016. She was born to Frank and Lily (Militz) Price on Sept. 29, 1914 and spent most of her childhood in Montana. After graduation from Sacred Heart Academy in Missoula, MT, she entered Nurses Training in Spokane, WA.
Della married Fred Sartwell in 1936. For many years, Della and Fred served as volunteer teachers for children's Bible Clubs in North Portland, OR. They were longtime members of First Presbyterian Church in Vancouver, WA and Della was very active in the Women's Circle, preparing and delivering the Devotions for ten years.
In addition to church activities, Della and Fred enjoyed photography, hiking, and camping until Fred's passing in 2003. Della moved from Vancouver to Centralia in 2006 to be close to her sisters.
Della is survived by her son, Rod (Ethel) Sartwell; three grandchildren, Fred, Sharon, and Ann Marie; two sisters, Bernita Abel and Loma (Ken) Whitworth; and numerous nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; two sisters; and three brothers.
A memorial service will be held on April 28, 2016, at 12:30 p.m. at Evergreen Memorial Gardens in Vancouver.
Memorial donations may be sent to the First Presbyterian Church for the library Talking Books for the Blind fund.

Grandma I love you. I am so glad you were able to meet my husband Mark at your 90th birthday. I have the most wonderful memories of camping with you and Grandpa and when you came to Pensacola, to spend time with us when we came back from Ireland. May you rest in peace beside the love of your life. I love you!
