## Resource

A somber wave of loss sweeps through the Olympia and surrounding communities as multiple residents—ranging in age from 46 to 93—passed away between early June and mid-July. Names like Judith Bunce, Eileen Burruss, and Gray Rains join others from Lacey, Issaquah, Bremerton, and Packwood in recent departures. Local funeral homes, including Funeral Alternatives of Washington and Huckleberry Creek Cremation Co., are stepping in to honor their lives with services across the region, reminding us all of the quiet, continuous rhythm of life and loss in our shared community.
