Before there was Wikipedia, there was our mother. Anyone who wanted to know anything needed only to ask Syd Mailberg. She was the best-read and smartest person on this planet from the moment she was born in NYC in 1937 until she died in Enumclaw, 7.25.10. She was the most intuitive and kindest person we have ever known. And to top it off, she was beautiful--movie star beautiful. And funny! Holy smokes, our mother had the sharpest and most pointed sense of humor. We sometimes had to leave where we were sitting or standing, because we couldn't control our laughter. Her humor was tied to her intellect, and her on-target wit was exceeded only by the love she had for family. We have lost more than our mother. We have lost the bravest, most talented, and creative person we know. Most people are lucky to have one talent. Our mother was a humanitarian; gifted artist; highly respected, ethical dog breeder/trainer; horsewoman; writer; and poet. Her oil paintings hang all over the U.S. Over the past 35 years, her 17 AKC German Shepherd champions have produced winning, loving, and devoted beings that live throughout the world. Syd wanted to live longer. She fought, and we fought alongside her every step of the way. Cancer decided otherwise. She has crossed the Rainbow Bridge and is with Dad, her parents, and all the dogs and horses she has loved. Grieving and missing her are her children, Donnie, Bonnie, Rayne, and Edie; her grandchildren, Galen, Shayna, Travis, Levi, Danny, and Ben; her great granddaughter, Madison; her brother, Lee; and her cousin, Iris. Instead of flowers, please consider donating to the Washington State German Shepherd Dog Club and/or to the Virginia Mason Oncology Medical Center in Seattle. Services will be held Sunday, Aug. 1, 1:30 pm, Marlatt's Funeral Home, Kent, WA.
