Edward C. Gustafson                              Eleanor Gustafson

November 12, 1921 to April 30, 2019 August 9, 1918 to February 17, 2004

Edward was born in Seattle Washington to Carl and Ida Gustafson. His father was a mining
engineer and the family lived in British Columbia, Washington and California. Edward had
a talent for drawing and hand lettering, which led to a 40-plus year career in pre-computer
architectural drafting.

Edward married Eleanor Brandrud on February 12, 1948 and they enjoyed 56 years of
marriage before she passed in 2004. Ed and Eleanor were active members of Maple Leaf
Lutheran Church. They were thankful for the opportunity to serve on the Northwest
Washington Synod Committee on Disabilities ELCA and derived deep satisfaction working
with advocates for the disabled and playing a part in providing the disabled with access to
church facilities and activities.

Edward is survived by his children Erik (Colleen) Arne (Lynn) and Karl (Joanna). Daughter
Karen passed in 2016. Edward is survived by five grandchildren: Arne Gustafson, Andrew
Gustafson, Jessica Scott, Lauren Gustafson and Jessica Crabtree; and four great
grandchildren: Kiyah Gustafson, Oliver Gustafson, Cayden Crabtree and Austin Crabtree.

Memories can be shared at the websites of Sweet-Olsen Family Mortuary (Orland
California) or Evergreen Washelli (Seattle, Washington).

Edward will be missed by all whose lives he touched. At his request, there will be no
services. Remembrances may be made to Maple Leaf Lutheran Church, the Washington
Chapter of the Special Olympics or a charity of your choice.
