Jean “Stevie” Pyfer passed away peacefully at home on Thursday, February 7, 2013. She was recently diagnosed with cancer and was able to spend her last days at home. She leaves behind her devoted dog, Tica, and beloved friend, Dennis Smart, a snazzy red 1968 California Special Mustang, and loving family including daughters, Randi, Kim, Lindsay, and Elisa, grandchildren Adam, Lucas, Hayley, Saila, Nicholas, Jordan, Gina, and Gemma and 10 great-grandchildren. Her 5th “daughter,” Anita Jefferson, was also a great companion to her over the years. Stevie was born in West Des Moines, Iowa to Mildred and Wayne Stevens. She made her way to Seattle in 1949 thanks to a job as a stewardess with Northwest Airlines. She was married to Dr. Howard Pyfer for over 50 years and together they enjoyed traveling and perfecting the art of grandparenting. Stevie brought joy to so many people and really knew how to celebrate life, whether exercising with her friends or indulging her passion for anything chocolate. She asked that her four daughters hold a party to celebrate her life. To honor her request, friends and family are invited to gather at her condominium tomorrow, Feb. 23rd from 2:00 – 4:00PM. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made to the King County Humane Society or a charity of your choice.
