Carolee Petter, age 76, died peacefully on May 24, 2018 at her home in Yakima, Washington. She was born in Tacoma, WA on April 1, 1942 and was an only child. She was raised by her Aunt Maria in Iowa and returned to Seattle, WA. in her late teenage years. She married Robert Robbins and together they had two sons; Gregory Robbins and Jeffrey Robbins. Robert and Carolee spent a great deal of their married life raising their family in Juanita, WA. She and Robert divorced in 1967, and Carolee met and married Bill Petter, owner of Bel-Kirk Motors in Kirkland, WA. Carolee began her automotive career as a Service Writer and worked for many car dealerships over the years. She thoroughly enjoyed her job and the people whom she worked with. Carolee moved to Yakima, WA in 2007 to be closer to family. During the last 10 years, she was employed by Memorial Hospital working in the gift shop and loved the work she did along with the people she met. Her creativeness and friendly smile will always be remembered by those who frequented the gift shop. Her life was touched by many and as we have learned, she had touched a great number of lives herself.
