Born in Richmond, VA, to William (Bill) and Gladys Upton. She grew up with a brother, Charles. From there the family moved to Annapolis Station, Port Orchard in 1954.
She met her future husband, Robert N Wells USN, on Sept 23, 1954 and they were married on Jan 15, 1955 in the Annapolis Church (now a child day care center). She was a perfect Navy wife and a mother of two daughters, Hazel Ann and Linda Kay. On January 15, 2015 she would have been married 60 years, but she knew Robert for the full 60 years.
During the late 70's through the 80's and up to 2003 she was an avid bingo player with her very best friend Glenna Seamans. After Glenna's passing on April 14, 2003 she gave Bingo up, except for the ARC Bingo hall in East Bremerton, till it closed.
Mrs. Wells is survived by her brother, Charles Upton (Judy), of Yakima, Wa, husband, of Port Orchard; daughters Hazel (Hidie) Ann Henderson (Kevin) of Port Orchard and Linda Kay Wells of Port Orchard; 3 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren.
Per her request, there will be no funeral, celebration of life or a gathering. If you feel like any donations, please give to the DAV Chapter 5 in Bremerton, in her name. This was the group that she gave donations.
