Edwin C. Zoll of Vancouver, Washington was born June 30, 1924 and passed away August 25, 2015 from congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and many serious complications. Ed had been ill for many years; however, on April 15, 2015 his health took a turn for the worst with five long term stays at Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center and Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitative Care Center. On August 7th Ed was transferred to Vancouver Home Care and Comfort Care located in Salmon Creek Washington where he passed away.

Edwin was born in Tell City, Indiana to Edwin Theopolis Zoll and Sarah Chrystal (Pyle) Zoll. Ed grew up in Tell City, graduating from Tell City High School. Upon graduating he joined the U.S. Army on March 31, 1943. He proudly served his country until December 14, 1946 as a Master Sergeant / First Sergeant. He continued to serve his country as a Master Sergeant / First Sergeant in the Indiana Army National Guard from May 9, 1955 to May 21, 1962. Edwin married Anna June Zoll on August 17, 1946 and together they raised five children. Following his discharge from the National Guard they moved to Klamath, California, but returned back to his home town of Tell City, Indiana. In 1962 Edwin and Anna moved to Vancouver, Washington where he worked for C.E. John Company as a Property Manager for more than 23 years while attending Clark College. Being raised on a farm in the Midwest gave Ed the foundation and taught him the true meaning of ‘work ethic’. In 1996 Ed lost his wife, Anna June Zoll. Ed was a member of numerous organizations. He had a lifetime membership with the VFW and Disabled Veterans; he belonged to the American Legion, the Knights of Columbus and Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church.

On March 14, 1997 Edwin remarried. They were married at St. Michael the Archangel Church located in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. Ed became involved as a volunteer for the Miss Washington Scholarship Organization. All contestants loved Ed and he soon earned the nickname of “Uncle Ed”. This nickname was given to him from one of the contestants they had taken under their wings. Ed and his wife loved giving back to the community and each year during the holidays they made 550 pounds of fudge.

Ed and his wif enjoyed 18 years at their winter home in Mesa, Arizona and when they weren’t enjoying the sun in Mesa you could find them sitting on the back deck of their beautiful Lake View Estates home overlooking the Vancouver Lake, the Columbia River and the Port of Vancouver. Ed loved a good conversation, watching the ships come in and out of the port and hitting golf balls off the deck with his two dear friends. In Ed’s spare time, he enjoyed fishing, camping, hiking, golf and traveling.
