Elmer Malliot

Elmer "Dean" Malliot, 83, lifelong resident of the Wenatchee Valley, passed away Saturday, March 5, 2016, at Harborview Medical Center, peacefully, with his family at his side. Dean was born on October 24, 1932, in Twisp WA, to the late Annie Rose (Hunter) Malliot and the late Paul Franklin Malliot. Raised in Cashmere WA, Dean graduated from Cashmere High School in 1951. Shortly after, he joined the US Navy and served on the USS Helena CA-75 during the Korean Conflict. He married June Helene Harmon on December 31, 1958. The two made their home in East Wenatchee where they raised their two daughters, Linda and Laura. Dean worked for Alcoa in the Shipping and Receiving Department from 1968 to 1997, when he retired to help his wife run her in-home day care. In late 1997, when his wife semi-retired, they continued on to help raise their three granddaughters and oldest great-granddaughter. Dean loved fishing and sports - particularly the Seahawks, Mariners, and Sonics; and wrestling. In the Fall of 2006, he made an overseas trip to Australia and New Zealand, where he met some of the local wildlife and also got to see the set to some of the Lord of the Rings films (a favorite movie). Dean is survived by his daughters and son-in-law: Linda and Doug Countryman; and Laura Malliot, all of Wenatchee; two brothers: Donald and Harold Malliot; three granddaughters and two grandsons-in-law and their children: Catherine and Jeffrey Logstrom of East Wenatchee and their daughters, Claire and Madison; Bethany and Christopher Langenbau of Malaga and their children, Sophia, Skyler, and Savin; and Amy Countryman of Wenatchee. He was preceded in death by his parents, two brothers and one sister, and his wife, June Helene Malliot. Commemoration Services will be held on Thursday, March 17, 2016, at 10:30am, at Telford's Chapel of the Valley with the Reverend John Coleman Campbell officiating. Concluding services and entombment will follow at Evergreen Memorial Park. In lieu of flowers, the Family suggests donations in Dean's honor to the Children and Youth Ministries of First United Methodist Church or the Mission View PTO. Arrangements are by Telford's Chapel of the Valley, East Wenatchee.
