April 3, 1926-
May 19, 2015
Our 89-year-old angel went to be with the Lord Tuesday, May 19, 2015, surrounded by family at Skagit Valley Hospital after a fall at home.
She was born April 3, 1926, in Bowmont, Idaho, to Oscar and Edna Wood.
She lived through the depression with her mother and father and four siblings in Tenino, Wash.
After the depression, her family moved to Darrington, Wash., where she graduated high school. She moved to Monroe, Wash., after marrying Robert T. Burchard in Marysville, Wash. on April 3, 1947. They raised their four boys and lived there until they retired and relocated to Coupeville. After the death of her first husband in 1992, she married a wonderful man named Tillmon Osborne on Sept. 18, 2004, in Stanwood, Wash., where they resided until she passed.
Adaline loved spending time with all of her family. She enjoyed playing dominos, rummikub and cards. She was an amazing cook, and she loved doing crafts with her grandchildren. Her favorite times were sitting around with family and friends telling stories and laughing.
Her laughter, smile and the sparkle in her eyes are what will be missed the most.
She was a beloved wife, mother and great-great-grandmother. She is survived by her husband, Tillmon Osborne; her four sons and their wives; Brad (Bev), Phil (Michele), Bruce (Deborah) and Gary (Suzy) Burchard; as well as Tillmon’s children: Valeta and Willard King, Kevin Osborne, Doyle and Velda Osborne and Suzanne Osborne.
She is also leaving behind 17 grandchildren, 19 great grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. She is also survived by her sister Ruth Hoglund, brother Harvey Wood and their families, as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
Though, she always said with a smile, “I don’t have any friends…everyone is family.”
Adaline was a woman of small stature with a heart as big as the world.
We will be honoring her amazing life at 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 30, at the New View Church 8028 272nd St. NW, Stanwood, WA 98292.
If you knew her, please come. In lieu of flowers, please make donations in her name to the Children’s Hospital at seattlechildrens.org
