Louella Doris (Byrne) Osterhout passed from this earth with family by her side on August 15th, 2007, after a brave battle with illness. She was preceded in death by her husband of 62 years, Bill Osterhout, on July 7th 2007. Born in Seattle's Rainier Valley district on March 20, 1924 to Luke J. Byrne and Dora Byrne (Lanier), Louella was the 4th of 9 siblings. She attended St. Edwards Elementary school and graduated in 1942 from Franklin High School. She married Bill Osterhout in January of 1945, together with whom she had four children - three sons and one daughter. Louella was a kind hearted, gentle soul with an unsinkable spirit and a lust for life. She enjoyed singing and dancing, traveling, celebrating, and spending time with her large family. In her youth she was an excellent roller-skater, strong swimmer, artistic individual and hard worker. During WWII she worked at Boeing installing electrical wiring in B-17s and later went on to build a successful trailer park business with her husband. To the end, Louella maintained her spirited personality and strong will, and remained devoted to her children and family. She is survived by three siblings, four children, seven grandchildren and numerous other nieces, nephews, cousins and extended family members. She will be welcomed in heaven but greatly missed here on earth by all who knew her. Funeral services will be held Friday August 24th at 11:00 AM at St. Edwards Church, 4250 S. Mead St. Seattle WA. Burial will follow at Greenwood Memorial Park in Renton. Please sign the online guestbook and share your memories of Louella (and Bill, if you like) on this memorial (click 'Sign Guest Book').
