Mary Ellen (Kalista) Guasp

Mary Ellen Guasp of Toledo, WA passed away at home on December 7, 2020 at the age of 85.

She was born in Toledo, WA in 1935 to Edwin and Edna Kalista and graduated from Toledo High School. Later, she moved to California, lived in Eureka, and then later San Jose for a short time. She also lived in Oklahoma, but lived most of her life on the west coast.

Mary spent the majority of her career in hospital food service, but was skilled at many other occupations, some of which include: rental storage, motel managing, contract cleaning, and filing band saws for mills.

Always up for an adventure, Mary hunted and fished when she was younger. She loved to hike and be outside. She also was a golfer and bowler, and quilted in her later years.

Mary was that fun aunt who was always up for a watermelon eating contest, and the one person everybody loved. She was highly respected by all who knew her.
