Mary Champlin
A memorial service for Mrs. Champlin is scheduled for Sunday:
Mary Margaret Gavin Champlin was born April 19, 1918 to Irish immigrants in Chicago, Illinois. She met and married David Champlin in November, 1940.
Mary and Dave moved to California in 1942. She was actively involved with her family at Saint Albins Episcopal Church, Scouting as a Den Mother, Cotillion, PTA, camping, sailing and gardening.
In 1980 Mary and her family moved to San Juan Island where they became involved with Saint David’s, The San Juan Island Yacht Club, and the Jazz Festival. She was a kind and loving person, and will be missed by many.
Mary leaves behind her beloved husband of 70 years, David; their children, David L. (Bev), Janet, and Richard; grandchildren, Andrea and Adam; great granddaughter Alexis; and many nieces and nephews.
