LaRae McDougall Curtis passed away on September 22, 2016 from cancer at the home of her loving and caring daughter Debra Slaughter in Pocatello, ID.
LaRae was born Jan. 21, 1931 to Esker and Odessa Hanes in Pocatello, Idaho and graduated from Pocatello High School. While a senior at Pocatello High School, LaRae met a Mountain Bell representative on a bus, and she was so impressed by LaRae that she wanted her to come to work for her at Mountain Bell. So as a senior LaRae started to work part-time at Mountain Bell which eventually after graduation transpired into a full time position , and she later became a Supervisor. LaRae later transferred to Salt Lake City, UT and after many years was able to take an early retirement from the telephone company.
LaRae married Harry O. McDougall and after his passing in 1973, several years later she met and married Lanny Curtis in Salt Lake City, UT. After the death of Lanny, LaRae moved to Lake Havasu, AZ where she resided for approximately 30 years. In 2013, LaRae moved back to Pocatello, ID to live with her daughter Debra.
LaRae enjoyed very much the summers she and Harry spent in Island Park, ID with family and friends. LaRae in her active life enjoyed fishing, boating, golfing, skiing, bowling, traveling, and family reunions.
