Find-a-Grave Obituary:- Husband of Mabel Dowling.
Hamilton-(AP)--A hunting accident in the Sleeping Child mountains near Hamilton Monday left two persons dead--one a hunter and the other a member of the rescue party.
Walter Sokoloski, Jr., 17-year-old Hamilton High School senior, died of a gunshot wound shortly after a companion's rifle discharged accidentally.
John W. Dowling, Sr., 62-year-old Hamilton mortician, suffered a fatal heart ailment while tracking through the mountains to reach the wounded youth.
Ravalli County Sheriff Lloyd Raymond said Sokoloski and a companion, Billy Thomas, about 17, were hunting in the mountains when Thomas slipped and fell, causing his rifle to discharge. Raymond said the bullet hit Sokoloski in the chest. Two hunters in the area, Gene Brown and Butch Barker, both of Darby, went for help. Raymond and Dowling were members of the party which answered the call.
Sokoloski, the sixth hunter in Montana to die of gunshot wounds so far this season, was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter (Margaret) Sokoloski of Hamilton.
Dowling's survivors include the widow, Mabel; three sons, John, Jr., Howard and Donald; and one daughter, Mrs. David Tawney, Jr., Missoula.

Find-a-Grave Obituary:-
Early Life: Don was born February 4, 1934, in Hamilton, Montana, to John W. and Mabel Louise Burnett Dowling. He was raised in Hamilton, where he developed a deep love for the Bitterroot Mountains and the natural wonders of Montana. He spent his summers hiking, fishing and working in the Bitterroot National Forest and Wilderness areas.
Life's Work/Service/Interests: After graduating from Hamilton High School in 1952, he married Shirley Rose Evans, the love of his life. They met each other at the age of five and held hands under the kindergarten table. Together, they attended the University of Montana, where Don studied forestry science and worked as a USFS Ranger in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness. Don and Shirley spent their newlywed summers living and working in the remote Moose Creek Ranger Station, where they learned to cook on a woodstove and appreciate the fine art of resilience while honoring nature. In 1955, they moved to San Francisco with their two young children and Don graduated from the San Francisco College of Mortuary Science in 1957. They returned to Montana in 1959, following the death of his father; Don joined his brother, Jack, in operating the Dowling Funeral Home. He later purchased the Sanderson Hardware Store in Hamilton and operated the main street business until his retirement in 1986.
Don was a lifetime member and Elder of the First Presbyterian Church in Hamilton. He served on the Hamilton School Board and was a past member of the Hamilton Kiwanis, Masons and Shriners organizations. He dearly loved his family, many good friends and sharing quality time with them at the Dowling Lodge on the East Fork of the Bitterroot River. He earned the family doctorate degree in mischief, practical jokes and great sense of humor. Don left his loved ones with the gifts of countless memories and laughable moments. He was a great, gentle and humble man. A true dog whisperer who taught his kids to fly fish, backpack and eat more ice cream. He will be remembered for his playful spirit, love for nature, kindness and generosity.
During the last few years of his life, Don and Shirley spent their time living in both upstate New York and the Bitterroot Valley. He always said the only place he wanted to live was “anywhere with Shirley!” During the last five days of his life, he was surrounded by the constant presence of his loving family. Donald B. "Don" Dowling, of Hamilton, Montana, passed away Tuesday, May 23, 2017, at the Marcus Daly Hospice and Palliative Care Center. He was 83.
Survived By: His wife Shirley, of Syracuse, NY; two sons: Greg (Kimberly), of Corvallis; Donald (Jeanne), of Spokane, WA; two daughters: Karlene Holt (Allen), of Hamilton; and Dr. Nanette Dowling, of Syracuse, NY; brother- in-law, Bob Evans (Sharon); grandchildren: Dan Shook, Dr. KariLynn Dowling, Brad Dowling, Katie Dowling; great-grandson, Sean Shook; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Preceded In Death By: His parents; sister, Alpha; brothers: Howard and Jack; and granddaughter, Jessica.

Find-a-Grave Obituary:-
"Mariner' s #1 fan, Connie Davis, passes away.
Connie Davis, (pictured here in the uniform of her beloved Mariners), passed away August 30th at the Franciscan Hospice House in University Place, WA. She was 88.
Leola Corrine Dowling was born March 29, 1924 in Stevensville, MT, the third of five children born to Fred and Ruby Dowling. She attended public schools in several different states in the northwest and graduated from Milwaukie High School in Milwaukie, OR. It was there she first met her husband, Lon Davis, who then left school early and joined the Navy where he was deployed in the South Pacific for most of the war. Before they were married in 1945, Connie served as a maternity ward aide in the WAVE's. Connie lived in Montana, Napa, CA, and then Milwaukie and Oak Grove, OR during the early years of her marriage before relocating her family to Seattle in 1960. Lon had agreed to manage Johnstone Supply, an appliance parts and HVAC supplier, and within four years they had begun to purchase the business. They built a week-end home at Alderbrook golf course in Union, WA in 1973 and spent their winters riding snowmobiles and their summers playing golf. In 1990 they moved into a new home bordering Fairwood Golf & CC in Renton, WA.
In 1969 Connie bought her first baseball season tickets to the Seattle Pilots and when the Mariners began play April 6, 1977, in the Kingdome, Connie was there too. For many years she had two seats right on the field next to 3rd base. She could always be spotted, often with her good friend, Verna McDonald, dressed in a Mariner fans jacket with headphones on listening to the game broadcast by Dave Niehaus. As her mobility decreased she moved up where she wouldn't have to deal with the stairs. In 1999 when the team moved to Safeco she got seats on the Terrace Club level above the Mariner's dugout and 1st base. In the 90's Connie bought a house in El Mirage, AZ just 20 minutes from the Mariners spring training site in Peoria, so she could see the team and prospects before the season started. She looked forward to the season ticket holders gatherings and just a month ago, a couple of weeks before her death; she was invited to and attended a Hall of Fame luncheon at Safeco.
Beside her love affair with the Mariner's and her grandchildren Connie enjoyed cruising. She made many friends over the years on these trips and came to especially enjoy the Alaska cruises with the Gaither singers.
Connie had five children; MG (66) lives in Union, WA with his wife Liz, Karen Jo (died at birth), James Lonson (63) resides in Myrtle Creek, OR with his wife Pam, Robert Fred (61) has a home in Auburn, WA, and Sandra Corrine Head (60) who with husband Bill live in Gig Harbor, WA. She also counted among her immediate family, five grandchildren (Jeffrey, Cherie, Camden, Kelsie, and Colby) and six great-grandchildren (Kyle, Ashleigh, Erynn, Conner, Andrew, and Jordan).
Connie had five siblings, four of whom preceded her in death. George, died as a youngster, Winifred (Hayward, CA) passed away in 1953, David, Connie's beloved younger brother (Lodi, CA), died in 2009 and a younger sister, Jane, (Pueblo West, CO) passed away just days after Connie.
Connie lived a rich and full life and there are many memories from family and friends. Thankful good wishes from the family go out to among others; The Seattle Mariners staff, the staff and residents of the Chateau Valley Center, Manor Care Rehabilitation Facility staff, and the Franciscan Hospice House staff. Ms. Suzy Lattanzio along with Sandy and Jim Rodriquez are especially appreciated for their loving attention to Connie.
Connie's ashes will be laid to rest at Washington Memorial Park in SeaTac next to her husband of 51 years, Lonson Grant (Lonnie) Davis who preceded her in death in 1996.
Pastor Jim Head-Corliss will conduct a memorial service at 2pm on October 20th at Gig Harbor United Methodist Church, 7400 Pioneer Way, Gig Harbor, WA 98335. The family asks that remembrances be titled "In memory of Connie Davis" and directed to The RBI Club c/o The Seattle Mariners, PO Box 4100, Seattle, WA 98194" -
