James Burton Maydole

James "Jim" Maydole was born to Alfred B. and Mable H. (Olson) Maydole in Palisades, MN. Jim passed away on May 23, 2018, following complications of Alzheimer's disease. Jim moved with his family to Washington State at the age of nine, attended schools here, and was a graduate of Wenatchee High School in the class of 1954. Although he was living in East Wenatchee, WA, and attending Wenatchee High School, he was proud to be known as a "Bridge Walker". Upon his graduation, he enlisted in the United States Air Force and was stationed in Montgomery, AL, and was trained as a Radio Repairman. Following his discharge, he returned to the Wenatchee Valley and worked at Wells and Wade for 23 years. He did television repair and later became Appliance Manager at Wells and Wade. Jim then felt there was a need for an appliance parts store and he went into business for himself, opening "Jim's Appliance Parts", selling parts for large and small appliances. He repaired small appliances and taught customers how they could repair their own appliances. Jim met Dorothy Thaut from Seattle, WA, and they were married on March 11, 1961, having celebrated 57 years of marriage this year. They raised their three sons: Brian, Craig, and Mark in East Wenatchee. Jim liked sports, playing golf, bowling, and watching football and baseball. Jim became a member of Faith Lutheran Church and was very active in many roles of the church. He loved singing in the choir, and going on missions to Mexico with a group from Faith Lutheran. He received great joy from his family and expressed his love and Christian faith to his family, until he was called home to meet Jesus. Brian, Craig, and Mark learned to love the Lord from their parents. Jim is survived by his wife, Dorothy; sons: Brian (Jennifer) Maydole of Wenatchee, WA, Craig (Lenore) Maydole of West Richland, WA, and Mark (Donaji) Maydole of East Wenatchee, WA; granddaughters: Jordan, Alex, and Taylor; and grandsons; Brooks and Jameson; along with many nephews and nieces. Jim was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Harley Maydole; and sisters: Margaret Rasmussen, and Kathleen "Kitty" Richardson. On Saturday, June 30, 2018, a private family interment will be held at Evergreen Cemetery, East Wenatchee, WA, followed by a Memorial Service at 11:00 a.m., at Faith Lutheran Church, 171 Eastmont Ave., East Wenatchee, WA. Pastor Timothy Winterstein will be officiating. In lieu of flowers, remembrance contributions may be made in Jim's name to Faith Lutheran Church. Arrangements are by Chapel of the Valley, Wenatchee, WA.
