Earline Howell

June 14, 1939 - December 26, 2020

Earline Howell was born on Flag Day 1939 in Barstow at 312 N 1 st Ave. She was the daughter of Earl and Mary Gates. Earline lived her entire 81 years in Barstow. She was a 1957 Riffian graduate and retired in 2000 after 38 yrs w SCE. Her greatest pleasure was being a Mother and Grandmother. She was fabulous with both titles and gave her all. The day after Christmas 2020, Earline heard God take roll call for those Heaven bound. She ran to His voice; knowing full well that to be absent from her worn down body was to be present with the Lord. Earline leaves behind her son, Matthew Howell and his family, wife, Joleen and their three daughters, Gracie, Mattison and Alyssa and her daughter, Mary Willbond and her family, Brian and their son, Landon. Her sister, Kathleen (Royce) Daughrity as well as many nieces and nephews. The outpouring of love and support since her passing has been incredible; a testament of her life. She touched many people and will be sorely missed. God willing by June, we will be able to gather to celebrate her life on her 82 nd birthday.
