Orean Slusher

Posted

Elmi “Orean” Slusher was born May 22, 1940, to Ernest (Blackie) and Ada Lininger, and passed away peacefully in her sleep after a long battle with Alzheimer’s Jan. 1, 2020.

She enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren, watching the Mariners play baseball and was quite passionate about her Seahawks. Elmi had a great love for flowers that was reflected in her beautifully maintained yard. She spent many years working at Twin City Sale and Chehalis Livestock Auction and enjoyed the many friends she made over the years.

Elmi was preceded in death by her husband, Joe Slusher.

She is survived by her three sons, Steve, Chuck and Sam Slusher; seven grandchildren; and nine great-grandchildren; as well as several siblings and nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

There will be a memorial service for Elmi at 2 p.m., Jan. 18, 2020, at the Adna Grange. The family invites anyone that knew her to attend.
