Doris Howell ~ Jan.17,1938-Aug.7, 2017
Doris Elaine (Lundt) Howell, a longtime resident of Carson City, Nevada, passed away at her home on August 7, 2017. Doris was born in her uncle’s “house on the prairie” in Mountrail County, North Dakota on January 17, 1938 to Henry and Hazel Lundt. She was the second of five daughters and was known for her “spunk” and courage. She went to elementary school in the same small country schoolhouse her father attended and graduated from Palermo High School in 1955. She moved to Long Beach, CA and worked as a telephone operator until she married Daniel Howell on March 7, 1958 in North Carolina. As a navy serviceman’s wife, she lived in Alabama, North Carolina, and later settled in Orlando, Florida where she went to school to become a licensed insurance agent. With her children as her priority, Doris and her four daughters moved across country to the Reno/Carson City area in 1971 where she continued her career as an insurance agent until she retired.
Doris was a long time member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church and was one of the founders, president, and avid member of Queen Maud Daughters of Norway Lodge.
Doris is predeceased by her parents, Henry and Hazel Lundt, and one sister, Diane Forney Stalter.
She is survived by four daughters; Tanya Howell, Denise Townsend, Dannell Howell, and Kathy (Gordy) Gagnon; three sisters; Marilyn Sadler, Judy Watland, and Janice (Ray) Ward. She is also survived by 7 grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
Doris will be missed more than words can express. She was a loving mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. She shared her sense of humor, fighting spirit, and loving heart to her final hour. Memorial donations can be made to the American Heart Association.
