Important Announcement Regarding Deaths in King County
Families and their Funeral Service Providers, including Barton Family Funeral Service, are experiencing significantly delays in obtaining death certificates from King County while King County implements an electronic system called EDRS. (You may read about it HERE)
We have been using the EDRS system for several years for deaths occurring in other counties such as Snohomish County. We know the system well and are trying to help physicians and hospitals as they make the transition. Because King is such a large county, the transition is taking longer than we have experienced in the past, and unfortunately we are all experiencing considerable delays in obtaining death certificates.
County and State officials are very cooperative and are working diligently to facilitate the change. We ask for your patience and assure you that we are doing everything possible to meet your expectations.
I am saddened to hear that Jeanene was not able to overcome her greatest battle but embraced it with elegance and grace. I really enjoyed meeting Jeanene and had a brief opportunity to share some deep moments with her about our son. I felt her positive spirit as I’m sure many others did too. She was a beautiful individual!

Both myself and my daughter, Rachel, were in shock when we learned of Jeanene’s passing. She was the Mother of one of my daughter’s best friends, Brenna. I was always impressed by her positive attitude. She never tried to draw attention to herself and her suffering. I know that she was an awesome Mom and friend to many. She will be missed. God Bless her in heaven!
Jeanene, So long dear friend.
“You know, the ancient Egyptians had a beautiful belief about death. When their souls got to the entrance to heaven, the guards asked two questions. Their answers determined whether they were able to enter or not. ‘Have you found joy in your life?’ ‘Has your life brought joy to others?’”
The answer for Jay is yes.
i love her and will miss her always.
Jeanene was one of the most special people in the world. My family sends love and prayers to Stan and the girls. Jeanene, you will be loved and missed forever.
