Edward William Walters
We wish to honor the passing of Edward William Walters, age 81, on July 10, 1998. His wife, Cathy Carpenter Walters, survives him. He also leaves a legacy of his seven children, Shelley Valencia and (Bob); James Walters and (Laura), Jeffrey Walters and (Kay), Patrick Walters and (Sue), Pam Watson-Sensky and (Don), William Walters and (Judy), Stephen Walters and (Sandy) and stepson, Jack Carpenter. He was also blessed to have 27 grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; three great-great-grandchildren; and extended family of Mara Pierce and Bill Salonic.
Ed was born in Pawnee County, Kansas June 1, 1917. He was a farm boy, raised mostly by his grandparents. He met, fell in love with, and married Mary Maxine Martin on March 25, 1937. When World War II erupted, Ed joined the U.S. Navy and served his country proudly on the U.S.S. CORE. He saw action in the Pacific and at the end of the war, had reached the rank of First Class Petty Officer. He returned home to his wife and three children in Hutchinson, Kansas. He graduated from the American Institute School of Baking in Chicago, Illinois in 1946. Two more of his children were born in Hutchinson before he moved his family to Tucson in 1951. His last two boys were born here. He worked for Haskell Linen Supply Company for 19 years before retiring. He taught his children the value of hard work and perseverance. He was widowed in 1965. He married Sarah Cothern in 1982 and lived on the beach in Kino Bay, Mexico, until she passed away. He then moved back to Tucson. He married a well-loved family friend, Cathy Carpenter on August 26, 1995. He said his only regret was that he 'promised her ten years' and was unable to keep that promise.
Ed had a love of life and people. He found joy in the outdoors and in his family and friends. During his battle with cancer, he showed great dignity and personal strength. His bright smile and booming laughter will be remembered by all. He will be greatly missed.
A Memorial Service will be held on July 17, 1998 at SOUTH LAWN MORTUARY, 5401 S. Park Ave, at 6:00 p.m.
Because Ed believed in the strength of family, we are requesting that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Tucson Center for Women and Children, P.O. Box 40878, Tucson, AZ 85717.

FEE, Wesley Street, born August 4, 1920, died in the early morning hours of July 8, 1998, five weeks after suffering a major stroke. Though born in Berkeley, CA in 1920, Wes Fee was raised in Tucson since 1922. He was the only child of Jewell Street Fee and Arch Gibbs Fee. Wes was a product of the Tucson Public Schools and the University of Arizona. He was a proud member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity. He went on to Washington University Medical School, St. Louis, MO. After serving as a Medical Officer in the 13th Air Force in the Philippine Islands, Wes came home to Tucson to marry his sweetheart, Ann Anderegg, in 1948. Wes began his radiology practice in Tucson after some additional training at the Malinkrodt Institute of Radiology in St. Louis under Arthur H. Compton and Sherwood Moore. After 25 years of private practice in Tucson, he retired and volunteered with the Indian Health Service in Alaska for 13 years. This part-time position allowed him to continue his love of the practice of medicine and have time to pursue his passions of traveling the beautiful world that God created, hunting and fishing. He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Ann; three children, William Sherwood Fee (Brenda) of Tucson, Bonnie Fee Fahy (Bill) of Phoenix, AZ, Robert Edward Fee (Barbara) of Tucson; four grandchildren, Wyatt and Sara Fee of Tucson, and John and Anna Fahy of Phoenix.
