The Herald, today, has a story about Manohar “Manu” Lata Sood, who recently passed away. Sood has been involved in the Mountlake Terrace Community for several decades:
Manu Sood served as a member of the Mountlake Terrace Arts Commission, was active in the Mountlake Terrace Garden Club and volunteered with the Edmonds School District as a substitute paraeducator with the Native American education program.
…
She lived her life as a daily example of how to treat others and what to value, said Bonnie Mercer, president of the Mountlake Terrace Garden Club.
…
The family has requested that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Mountlake Terrace Endowment Scholarship Association in her name to support a scholarship targeted for arts students. Donations can be sent to Mountlake Terrace High School in care of Andi Nofziger-Meadows, 21801 44th Ave. W., Mountlake Terrace, WA 98043.
A memorial service is scheduled for noon at the Nile Golf and Country Club on Sunday at 6601 244th St. SW, Mountlake Terrace.
Manu and her husband Vic were two of the first people I met when I moved to Mountlake Terrace in 1976. Vic hired me to work for Community Transit and I met Manu shortly thereafter. She was one of the kindest people I ever met. I remember going to their home on several occasions where she was always a most gracious hostess.
