Lorraine “Larry” Evonne MUTO’s Life Story:
Lorraine Muto (known as Larry to family and friends), 89, passed away
Wednesday, March 6, 2013.
Larry was born on her family’s farm in Nezperce, Idaho, where she lived
with her parents, Lella and Herbert Booth, and her older brother, Don. She lived
in Kamiah and then Kellogg, Idaho, graduating from Kellogg High School in 1940.
Larry attended Northwestern Business College in Spokane, Washington, and met
Herman Muto at her first job as office cashier for Greenough’s Grocery
Store.
Larry and Herman were married in 1943 and moved first to Portland, Oregon,
then to Seattle for Herman’s job as a pilot for Northwest Airlines. They built a
home in Normandy Park in 1954 and raised their family among a wonderful group of
neighbors who became good friends. Larry was an active member of the community.
She helped organize neighborhood salmon bakes at the Cove, was a Camp Fire group
leader for three of her daughters, and held leadership positions in Camp Fire’s
Central Puget Sound Council, including coordinating candy sales (which meant
that her freezer was always full of Camp Fire mints!). She has been a member of
“The Sprouts,” a Washington Park Arboretum Garden Club, since 1955.
Larry went back to work at age 50 at the Highline Community College
bookstore. During her 11 years at the bookstore, her co-workers became another
group of lifelong friends. Each new activity after retirement, including yoga
and swimming, brought a new group of friends. Larry and Herman were also active
members of the Retired Northwest Pilot’s Association (RNPA) and together they
published the RNPA Newsletter for 18 years.
Family and friends were Larry’s priorities and she will be dearly missed by
her children, Donna Cummings (Jim), Paul Muto (Myrna), Marilyn Hovey (Mike),
Marcia Muto Flynn (Jim), and Sheila Millman (Ed); 13 grandchildren; 8
grandchildren-in-law; 10 great-grandchildren; and many other relatives and
friends. Larry was preceded in death by her brother, Don, and her husband of 57
years, Herman Muto.
Services will be held at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Burien at
1 p.m. on Saturday, March 23, 2013.
A favorite charity was the Washington Park Arboretum in Seattle.
