Funeral homes often submit obituaries as a service to the families they are assisting. However, we will be happy to accept obituaries from family members pending proper verification of the death.
Kenneth Howell (81) of Dallesport, Wash., passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Oct. 21, 2021. Ken was a lifelong resident of the Columbia Gorge area. He was married to the love of his life, Twila Howell, from 1969-2011.
He enjoyed “classic” country music, playing the steel guitar, working in his yard and garden, studying old cars and airplanes, working with wood, and going to the coast to eat some good seafood.
He was an active member of Grace Lutheran Church in Klickitat, Wash., and Faith Lutheran Church in The Dalles, Ore. He was always helping people and fixing things at the church. He was involved in Kiwanis Club. He was comforted by his faith in Jesus and looked forward to being reunited with his wife Twila in heaven.
Ken is survived by three children, Lianne Ames, Cristal Waetzig, and Robert Howell, as well as grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Faith Lutheran Church or Home at Last Humane Society of The Dalles.
The memorial service will be held at Faith Lutheran, 2810 W. 10th St., The Dalles, on Saturday, Nov. 13 at 11 a.m.
