Aileen Metcalf, 91

Aileen Metcalf passed away in the loving arms of her daughter at their Pasadena home on Sept. 22, 2022. She lived her life dedicated to the belief that loving God and serving people should be the chief aim in one’s life and labored to instill these values in all who knew her.

She is survived by her sister Patti Dudley, her nephew Ron Steele, and her children Stephen Kennedy, Michael Kennedy, Kateri Mattila, Billy Metcalf, Marc Metcalf, Annie Lynn Wasson and Brenda Metcalf Bach. She was blessed with 10 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren, and countless spiritual sons and daughters.

She was born March 7, 1931, in Pablo, Montana, and will be laid to rest near there on Nov. 3. Aileen graduated from Stadium High School in Tacoma, Washington, and honed her craft as an executive assistant which began in the New York FBI fingerprinting division. She served a short period of time as a Tribal judge and then later in life she devoted herself to missionary work, including several years in France.

She loved being in nature, and spending time with others, especially a rousing game of Scrabble or pinochle. She was a die-hard Dodgers and Notre Dame fan and is probably yelling at the game officials from her heavenly easy chair.

Her life will be celebrated at New Life Church in Polson on Nov. 3 at 10 a.m. Feel free to share your favorite Aileen story or condolences for the family online@www.lakefuneralhomeandcremation.com
