    Lell Perry Phelps

    June 16, 1929 - July 2, 2016

    Lell Perry Phelps of Manson, passed away at the age of 87 years on July 2, 2016. He was born on June 16, 1929 in Chelan Falls and lived in Manson until graduating from Manson High School in 1947. He attended Wenatchee Valley and Central Washington State College and then joined the Naval Reserves before being drafted into the Army in 1950. In 1953 he gained employment with the Wenatchee Police Department and shortly thereafter met the love of his life, Elaine Lugene Scott. They were married on January 21, 1954, and together raised nine children. In 1966, Lell continued his career as a Chelan County Deputy Sheriff when the family moved to Manson. In 1972 he became the City of Chelan Police Chief until he retired from law enforcement in 1980. Lell coached little league baseball for 13 years and served on the Manson School Board for multiple terms in the 70’s and 80’s. Following retirement, he enjoyed seasonal employment running crews for Gene Kelly orchards and working at the Chelan Golf Course. He enjoyed spending time woodworking, building models, doing crossword puzzles, watching sports, and any type of activity that allowed him to use his tractor. Most of all, Lell was a loving husband and father. He enjoyed being with, and following his children and grandchildren. He was an extremely honest and direct man whose legacy was founded on making people better by setting high expectations and loving unconditionally. Lell is survived his wife, Elaine and nine children: Jim (Karen) Phelps, Jean (Mike) Haerling, Sam (Julie) Phelps, Patti (Tom) Young, Dennis (Lori) Phelps, David (Paula) Phelps, Raymond (Shelly) Phelps, Alice (Joe) Harris, Frank (Desiree) Phelps: 28 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren.
