[br][br]Surrounded by loving family, Conrad "Buds" Pascal passed away August 21, 2013. Conrad was born in Fruitland, WA November 10, 1943 to parents Ignace and Salena Pascal.

His experience and knowledge also aided in establishing a national tribal CASA program. Conrad's love for, and pride in, his culture was strong to the very end and was shown in his drumming (as both drum leader and singer), hunting, Indian Pow Wow's and his sharing and teaching of Indian traditions and customs including stick gaming. His other passions included bowling, enjoying the outdoors and nature, taking long drives and visiting different casinos with his wife, Linda. Conrad was preceded in death by his parents, his brothers Virgil, Reggie, Jerry and Phillip; sister Lucy; daughter Brenda and other extended family. He is survived by his wife Linda; his brother Thomas "Porky" Pascal; sisters Paulene Flett and Pat Austin; son Conrad "PJ" and Joey Pascal and grandson Henry; Conrad's mother Julia Pascal; his daughters Charlene, Tammy, and Samantha Hall and their families including eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

[br][br]Grace Bracker Erickson was born Feb 17th, 1920. She left this world July 4th, 2013 after a long illness. Grace chose to write her own description of her life's accomplishments and high points, as follows. "I was the only child of Alexander Fodor Bracker and Marjorie (Royal) Bracker, born in Indianhead, MD at an army post where my father was stationed. My paternal grandfather, Alexander Fodor, spoke many languages and was official interpreter for the Austrian court, traveling abroad with the Emperor on their foreign trips. I graduated from Dumont, N.J. High School and Bergen College, then attended Pratt Institute of Art in New York City. I married Albert Erickson, who I met in high school at 14 years old, and wed at age 20. Both my husband and I were models for artists, photographers, and commercial companies. We lived in 17 states during our marriage, including North Carolina, Kansas, and California, but mostly in Connecticut and South Carolina. We boated as members of the U.S. Power Squadron. During summers we rented our Westport, Connecticut home and lived aboard our 32 foot cabin cruiser "Gypsy", sailing along the east coast as far as Massachusetts. My father was a big influence on me as I grew up. He taught me to swim, play tennis, and ride horses by the time I was 9 years old. He believed in self discipline, honesty, to always finish anything one started, and never give up on a goal. These traits helped me succeed in many endeavors, especially my accomplishments in operating my own real estate office from the time I was 27 until retirement 32 years later. Many of my clients ended up being life long friends. My husband and I had one son, Albert J. Erickson III, of whom I was very proud. He graduated from Brown University and received his P.H.D. in Marine Geophysics from M.I.T. I moved to Spokane, Washington from North Carolina to be close to him after my husband's death in 1997 ,where I lived in the Fairwood Retirement Resort. He was a fine support and helped make my life pleasant in many ways. My husband and I loved to travel and over the years visited, and often returned to, 37 countries, making friends along the way. Spain, Portugal, and Mexico were our favorite destinations. Thailand was our absolute 'special spot'. We liked cruises, taking a half dozen. I was a complete extrovert, a free spirit, reaching out to everyone I met. My warm, smiling personality drew people to me. I lived a long life filled with wonderful friends, and a devoted husband. I was a true lover of all animals; dogs, cats, and especially birds. My husband and I raised and showed Irish and Gordon setters. When I went into real estate full time, we switched to pedigreed cats, always adding two at a time. Usually four cats were part of our "family". In my later years, at Fairwood, I was known as the "Bird Lady" and welcomed all contributions of bread and cake from my friends. I was an oil painter, winning some prizes for my work; also a fine seamstress, making clothes for myself, and my husband and son. I was an avid reader, owned a library built by my father, and could discuss most anything from politics to sports. I loved to play bridge and enjoyed games such as Bingo and Bunko. I also did macramé and ceramics for awhile. I taught Sunday school, delivered "Meals on Wheels" in the Carolinas, and was a Cub Scout den mother when my son was younger. Gardening was a huge part of my interest and over the years I was president of 5 garden clubs from Ohio to the Carolinas. My house was always filled with plants and flowers and in season my husband and I grew vegetables enough to can for the winter. I also had beautifully furnished and decorated homes as a result of my art background, which included interior decorating. I always dressed carefully, with coordinating colors. I always wore earrings of exactly the perfect match for my outfit, including those inherited from my mother. Some friends referred to me as an 'elegant lady'." Grace was preceded in death by her parents and husband, She is survived by her son Albert 'Eric' Erickson of Nine Mile Falls, WA, and her granddaughter Kali Erickson and great granddaughters Kia and Anna of Washington, D.C. In lieu of flowers please give a gift of love to needy animals at the Spokane Humane Society or your choice of animal rescue organizations. We deeply appreciate the kindness, compassion, and expertise demonstrated by the staff of Willow Grove Home and Hospice of Spokane during Grace's final months.
The Ocean was the only place that put a smile on your face We'd sit for hours and watch the sun laugh and joke we had such fun We walked the beach and I held your hand Our clothes and hair all covered in sand You've left and gone beyond my reach I pray to God that you are at peace I wish to God I'd made you my wife To see you again I'd give my life By the grace of God above Together again we will be my love
