Elsa “Lucille” Cole Feb. 24, 1912 ~ Nov. 28, 2009 Elsa "Lucile" Cole of Vancouver, Washington, completed a long and eventful journey of 97 years on Nov. 28, 2009. She has left us to be reunited with her devoted husband Earl, of 69 years. She was born Feb. 24, 1912 in Wichita, Kansas to Effie (Barton) and Carl S. Everett. Lucile spent her life, with Earl, running their businesses including a butcher shop and marina in Camas and Washougal, Washington. She was a member of St. John's Presbyterian Church of Camas and was actively involved in the community. After retirement, Lucile and Earl lived in Palm Desert, California and Sun City West, Arizona. During this time they traveled all over the world, then returned to Vancouver, Washington in 2001 to be near their family. Lucile is survived by her four children, Louis (Linda) Cole of Vancouver, Kay Taft of Redmond, Kenneth (Milagros) Cole of Surabaya, Indonesia, and Jerry (Harriet) Cole of Vancouver; 11 grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; three great-great-grandchildren; and a former daughter-in-law, Judie Cole of Vancouver. Although we all are saddened by her passing, we find comfort in the knowledge that she is once again dancing with her beloved Earl. A Celebration of Life and reception will be held Sat., Dec. 12, 2009 at 2:00 p.m. in the Waterford at Fairway Village, 2911 SE Village Loop Vancouver, WA 98683. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Southwest Washington Medical Center Foundation, Ray Hickey Hospice House or Hospice Southwest, PO Box 1600, Vancouver, WA 98668.
