O BITUARIES
Josephine A. Howell
March 15, 1920 - Jan. 14, 2017
Josephine A. Howell, 96, passed
away peacefully Saturday, Jan. 14, at
Regency Care Center, formerly known
as Ochoco Care Center, in Prineville.
Howell was born to Arthur and
Elizabeth Haldy on March 15, 1920,
in Tennessee.
She graduated from Sherwood
Union High in Sherwood in the spring
of 1938. She then went on to receive
her Bachelor of Arts degree from the
Pacifi c College in Newberg in June 1942. She acquired her
teaching certifi cate May 25, 1944, from the Common Schools
of the state of Washington in Chelan, Washington.
Howell taught school in the Mt. Vernon, Monument and
Spray School districts. Prior to her retirement, she was the li-
brarian at Spray and went on to become the deputy clerk after
Babe Stevens retired. She then retired to her home in Spray.
She met her husband, Everett Howell, at a picnic hosted
by friends determined that she and Everett meet. They became
lifelong friends and partners until his passing. They were mar-
ried one month shy of 68 years. They shared many interests
during their marriage.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Everett, and all
of her siblings except one sister. She is survived by her sister,
Frances Haldy of Kansas City, Kansas, and many nieces and
nephews.
A memorial service is being planned for a later date. Memo-
rial contributions may be made to the Spray Pioneer Museum.

We also would like to thank Blue Mountain Hospice,
