Maribel Sue PILLSBURY Obituary (2024)

Maribel Pillsbury, age 73, passed away on September 22, 2024, in Yakima, WA. Born on March 4, 1951, Maribel graduated from University High School in Spokane, WA, and later earned a bachelor's degree in Communications from Washington State University. A loving wife to Mike Pillsbury for over 51 years, Maribel was also a devoted mother to Michele Dunlap, Angela Graham, and Jessica Suenishi. She was a cherished grandmother to Naomi, Ivy, Eden, Juliet, and Jasper Dunlap; Joshua and Emmett Graham; and Payten, Haleigh, and Alani Suenishi. Maribel was known for her deep faith and love for the Lord, as well as her dedication to ministering to and praying for others. Watching and listening to the crashing of the waves on a stormy beach was her special place, and she could spend hours looking for treasures in the rocks and shells in the sand. She also loved to sing and listen to all kinds of music, especially when played by her grandchildren, whom she cherished and loved to spend time with. With her passion for horses, we are picturing her riding through Heaven on that dapple grey she always dreamed of. A service to celebrate Maribel's life will be held at 2:00 PM on Saturday, October 5th, at Restoration Church, located at 1705 W Chestnut Ave, Yakima, WA 98902.
