Jeanne Ostrander Obituary

Jeanne Elizabeth Beatty Ostrander

Jeanne Elizabeth Beatty Ostrander was born on August 4, 1915, in Waterville, WA, to Ralph and Bessie Sly Beatty. She did most of her growing up in Wenatchee and loved being an Eastern Washington Girl. She died peacefully in her sleep on May 11, 2013 in the Corwin Center at Emerald Heights Retirement Center in Redmond.

Jeanne attended Washington State College in Pullman where she graduated in 1937 with a BA in Business. While there she met Lamar Noyes Ostrander and they were married in Wenatchee on June 19, 1937. After Lamar completed law school at Harvard, the couple returned and settled in Kirkland in 1943. Jeanne lived in that community, and in the same home most of that time, until she moved to Emerald Heights in 1993. Lamar passed away in 1982.

She was a longtime member of the American Association of University Women Lake Washington Branch, Children's Hospital Dr. Fredrick J. Fasset Guild, Pi Phi at WSU, and the Kirkland Congregational Church. She and Lamar were world travelers, and she traveled with family and friends after his passing. Jeanne was well-read, well-travelled and gracious to everyone. She was considered a true lady by all.

She is survived by her children George (Leah), Richard (Peggy), Linda Cossalman (Steve), Ellen Lutz (Steve); 5 grandchildren; 8 great grandchildren.

There will be a memorial service on Sunday, July 14, 1 pm, at Emerald Heights in Redmond. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Seattle Children's Hospital Uncompensated Care Fund, Emerald Heights Benevolence Fund, or to a charity of your choice.
