Elspeth Stuart “Polly” Dyer
Longtime Oak Harbor resident, Elspeth Stuart “Polly” Dyer passed away peacefully in her sleep Saturday, December 17, 2016 after a brief illness. She was 84 years of age.
Polly was born on October 11, 1932 in Glens Falls, New York to Sutherland and Elizabeth Stuart. She was the younger sister of John “Jack” Stuart. Her family lived in various cities during her youth: San Francisco, CA; Portland, OR; New Orleans, LA; and Jacksonville, FL. It was in Jacksonville that she met her beloved husband, Norman Roy Dyer. They married in May 1952. Two daughters followed: Dawn and Debbie. In 1958 they moved from Jacksonville to Oak Harbor, WA where her son, David, was born in 1959 to complete the family.
Polly began a life of service to the community when she joined the Oak Harbor Civic Club and later was a charter member of Soroptimist International of Oak Harbor. She served as president of the local chapter and later served a term as governor of the Northwest Region from 1996 through 1998. She had many fond memories of her travels around the world with her dear friends from SIOH. She also helped charter the local Venture Club and made many friends there as well.
Polly is survived by her three children, Dawn Shook and husband Morris of Brewster, WA; Debbie Dyer of Oak Harbor, and David Dyer and wife Ann of Round Hill, VA. Also surviving are six grandchildren; Scott Kiser, Curt Kiser, Ted Shook, Elspeth Jane (EJ) Moore, Sara Rodgers and Katherine Foltz, and ten great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her brother, Jack Stuart and numerous nieces and nephews. Polly was proceeded in death by her parents and husband, Norman.
