This week we learned of the recent passing of Dee Dee Rainbow. Dee Dee and her sister Marsha were the granddaughters of Ray and Heloise Wardall, who were prominent in the early years of Indralaya. Cedar cabin was built by the Wardalls and was one of the first cabins constructed at camp.
The ‘donation dragon’ that lives at the registration desk in the dining hall was crafted by Dee Dee in honor of her grandparents. In recent years, it has become the repository for limericks during the summer family weeks. As you can see by reading the dedication below, the glaze includes ash from Mt. St. Helens.
Dee Dee attended several of the interfaith programs that were held here in the late 90’s and early 00’s.
Thank you for posting this tribute to my Aunt Dee Dee Rainbow. The life celebration was an amazing event and Dee's rainbow spirit shined down on us all. I look forward to coming back "home" to Indralaya after so many years passed by in 2014. Cheers - Max Jensen, Son of Marsha Wardall and Great grandson of Ray and Heloise Wardall.
