Lawrene C. (Beloit) McDonough

October 29, 1924 – August 5, 2014

Lawrene McDonough, 89, passed into Glory on August 5, 2014 in Ellensburg, WA. She was born in Lewiston, Idaho to Jesse Beloit and Myra Stup Beloit. She graduated from Lewiston HS and married Harold (Jack) McDonough. They were married for 50 years, most spent here in the Renton area, before he passed away but now are reunited. Mom was an excellent and caring mother to us and helpmate to our Dad.

She enjoyed sewing, bowling, pinochle with friends and in later years lots of reading, puzzles and getting together with family.

She is survived by her daughter, Nancy Johnson, of Cle Elum, 6 grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren and one great-great grandson. Also survived by her brother, Howard Beloit of Moscow Idaho and sisters, Yvonne Gilbert of Lewiston, Idaho and Carol Whitby, of Clarkston, WA. She was pre-deceased by her husband, Jack and 2 daughters, Karen McDonough and Nicki Shaver, and two brothers, Stanley Beloit of Lewiston and Glenn Beloit of Spokane.

We will miss her dearly but we are glad she no longer has to struggle with the terrible affects of Alzheimers that had consumed her frail body for so many years. We love you Momma, Grandma and Great Grandma…until we meet again.

A private graveside ceremony was held at Greenwood Memorial Park in Renton on August 13th. Remembrances can be made to the Alzheimers Association or The Shriners Children’s Hospital.
