- In Memory and Celebratio­n of Donald & Alberta Cramsey of Keyport, Washington

Two incredible people recently left this earthly place: Donald Leon Cramsey Jr. and Alberta (Evans) Cramsey. We are All saddened to lose these two souls, but know they are together in a better place. All that knew Don & Bird, know they were nearly inseparabl­e.

Alberta was born on July 4th 1931 to Mary (Coccitto) and Edmond Andrew Evans. Donald was born on October 15 1938 to Edna Grace & Donald Cramsey Sr..

Alberta and Donald first crossed paths in Seattle while taking S.C.U.B.A. diving classes. They created many happy memories in and around the Puget Sound.

Don and Bird were married on June 14th 1964. They made their first home in Seattle. Their life together carried them to different locations in the United States. They supported each other in turn, so that they were

both able to pursue their interests, while continuing to share and discover activities they enjoyed in common.

Don graduated from the University of Washington, becoming an electrical engineer; while Birdie worked as an accountant at Safeway.

Moving to California, Don began a successful career at Rockwell Internatio­nal. Following her dream, Alberta attended Fullerton College, Golden State University and blossomed as an artist.

They had 2 children, Marigrace Cramsey and Brian Cramsey; 4 grandchild­ren Don Diaz, Amber Cramsey-Behnke, Michael Cramsey-Behnke and Amelia Cramsey; and 1 great grandchild, Oliver Danger Dunlap.

Donald Cramsey was taken away early, passing in July of 2020 following a rapid decline in health.

Alberta Cramsey followed him from this life on July 4th of 2023. Together they are reunited in their final resting place: the Living Waters of Puget Sound.
