Marilyn Howe Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Funeral Alternatives of Washington - Tumwater on Dec. 16, 2024.
Lyn Howe passed away on Sunday, November 11 after battling idiopathic lung disease. She died at home, as was her wish.
Lyn was born in Pasadena, CA and lived her early life in La Jolla CA. She then lived in San Francisco, Pennsylvania, again in San Francisco, and in rural Missouri in the Ozark mountains before retiring in Springfield MO. After the passing of her husband Allen Howe she moved west to Tumwater WA. She had careers in computer programming, electronics manufacturing, and advertising as a channel manager.
Enjoying the sun and her pets was a big part of Lyn's life, and sharing funny anecdotes and antics of her cat kept her busy. She also remained close with her schoolmates in the Bishop School Class of 1959. She loved traveling and seeing new places.
Lyn is survived by her children, daughter Jennifer Howe and son David Howe, daughter in law Judy Howe, and grandchildren James and Saturn Howe.
