The woman who died in last week’s 16th Ave E house fire has been identified by authorities.
Novis Felder died in the blaze inside her 1902-built home in the 400 block of 16th Ave E the morning of April 16th. Seattle Fire investigators determined the fire was started by improperly discarded smoking materials that ignited a chair inside the house.
Felder would have turned 93 later this year.
Her son was injured in the fire but suffered only minor burns and a caregiver living in the house was not injured, a SFD spokesperson said.
CHS does not have any information about services or a memorial fund.
That’s really sad. My sympathies go out to her son and family and friends.
