Erlene Mae was born on Aug. 16, 1931, in Lewiston, Idaho, to Lola and Earl Clyde. Her maternal and paternal ancestors were early settlers in Moscow.

The property continues to be owned and operated by Erlene’s brother, Robert, his wife, Pat and their sons.

OBITUARY: Catherine E. Hoisington
84, Juliaetta resident
Catherine Elizabeth Hoisington died at her home in Juliaetta Saturday, Feb. 3, 2007. She was 84.
She was born Nov. 27, 1922, to John (Jack) and Lillie White Maund at the Indian Agency infirmary in Lapwai, where her father ran the dairy. She graduated from Lapwai High School in 1940. She was a lifelong member of the Lapwai Valley Presbyterian Church.
She started playing piano for school events when she was in the sixth grade, a talent that continued through high school and throughout her life. After graduation, she worked in the offices of the County Assessor and the Selective Service in Coeur d’Alene. In 1942 she moved to Bakersfield, Calif., where she held various jobs including bookkeeper, girl Friday, and waitress.
Katie married Lauren Hoisington April 20, 1947, in Pasadena, Calif. They lived at Cherrylane for eight years before moving to Big Bear Ridge in 1955, where they farmed and raised their five children. In 1974, they moved to Juliaetta.
In the early 1960s, she worked as the morning cook at Burt’s Café in Kendrick. Later she worked at Erickson’s Foods as a cashier.
Her love of people, music and gardening sustained her throughout her life. She put great stock in maintaining relationships with long-time friends and neighbors. She adored her “rotten kids” and delighted in spoiling her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She sang in numerous church programs. She played piano and organ for various organizations, including the Lapwai and Kendrick Granges and several local churches. She was also a gifted whistler.
Katie loved “digging in the dirt” and spent many hours in her gardens. In her spare time, she would weed the bank across the street and transplant seedlings from her own flower beds. She was quick to share plant starts with anyone who asked.
She found satisfaction in “putting up” fruits and vegetables each summer. She was an excellent pie maker. Other interests included square dancing, picking huckleberries, playing bridge and pinochle, and working crossword puzzles.
In later years, she indulged her love of travel. She explored her father’s birthplace in Worcestershire, England, and traveled extensively throughout the states. Two of her favorite destinations were the Oregon Coast and Death Valley, Calif.
Katie is survived by her husband, Lauren at the family home; her four daughters, Lin Hoisington of Seattle, Nan and husband, Kevin Boorman, of Prineville, Ore., Janine and husband, Bill Prichard, of Anacortes, Wash., and Soni and husband, Dale Main, of Bovill; her two sons, Ed and wife, Julie Hoisington, of San Diego, and Ken Scheuttenhelm of Alpine, Calif.; 11 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
Katie was preceded in death by her parents; two brothers, Orville (Buster) Maund and John Maund; and her sister, Pearl Costigan.
Remembrances may be made to the Juliaetta-Kendrick Ambulance fund or a charity of your choice. If you wish to send flowers, the family suggests that you send them to someone you love in Katie’s memory.
