Jeanne Maier

Enumclaw resident Jeanne L. Maier died March 25, 2013.

She was born Jan. 28, 1929, in Larkin, Kan., to Lenora and Harold Young. In 1942 the family moved to Bremerton, Wash., where she met and married Louis “Red” Maier, in 1946. The couple raised their three boys in Bremerton. Her husband’s job as a heavy equipment mechanic had them traveling from Alaska to Arizona. She enjoyed working with people in such jobs as a bank teller, tour coordinator at the Great Salt Lake, delivery driver for FedEx and most recently a volunteer at the Black Diamond History Museum. The couple spent several years in Camp Verde, Ariz., near their children and grandchildren before retiring in Clearfield, Utah. She spent the past nine years in Enumclaw where she was close to her brother. She enjoyed watching her great-niece and nephews grow; she was an avid reader and knitter.

She is survived by sons Mike Maier of Cornville, Ariz., Tom Maier and wife Elaine of Grand Canyon, Ariz., and Harold Maier of Mexico; brother Charles Young of Hobart, Wash.; eight grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her husband Red Maier; brothers Jack Young of Eugene, Ore., and Bill Young of Fairbanks, Alaska.
