Howard Brutsche September 9, 1939 - March 7, 2011

Howard Brutsche, my darling husband of 44-and-a-half years went home to the Lord on March 7, 2011.

He passed away in Sun City, Arizona, our winter home.

Howard and his wife, Anne, retired to Sisters in 1998, having lived in Stockton and Carmel Valley, California. Howard was a pharmacist in California and also a businessman.

He will be greatly missed by his wife Anne; and daughters Suzanne Findlay of Clackamas, Laura Clark of Hollister, California, and Wendy Wood of Bothell, Washington. Six grandchildren also miss their grandpa. His sisters, Joann Dotzler, Carol Keennon, and Trudy Brutsche, also grieve his passing.

Howard loved the quiet country life of Sisters. He loved the great outdoors, golf, and Sisters Community Church.

The memorial service for Howard will be held Saturday, March 19 at 1 p.m. at Sisters Community Church, 1300 W. McKenzie Hwy.
