Titus Obituaries F-L
The following Titus obituaries are some of those that haven't yet been placed as part of the main Titus genealogies. Some belong to my "brick walls" and others could fit into some of the more recent immigrant lines, such as those that are known to have come to our shores from Lithuania, Wales, Armenia and Germany, as well as African American and American Indian Titus lines. It is hoped that the obits that follow will help fellow researchers to update their own genealogies as well as to provide help to me in improving mine.

He was 81. Titus served in Europe in 1944 and 1945. He was the only World War II veteran who was a member of the Viet Nam Veterans of the Diablo Valley, a group active in establishing the All Wars Memorial in Danville's Oak Hill Park. "He was the kindest, gentlest, most humble man I ever met," said his wife, Lucie Titus. (Luci Marx) "He was very knowledgeable." The two met in 1983 as members of the California State Military Reserve. They married in 1989. Titus joined the military in 1944 and earned a Bronze Star for his service in Europe After he was honorably discharged, he attended Oregon State University, where he was a member of the ROTC, and spent summers training with an artillery battalion in Washington state. After graduation, he was recalled into active duty and soon was promoted to the rank of First Lieutenant. He was sent to Baumholder, Germany, as a Battery Commander. After returning from that second tour of duty in Europe, he joined the National Guard in Richmond.

"He was somebody I would like to model myself after." In his civilian life, Titus was a metallurgical engineer. He worked for U.S. Steel in Pittsburg, Aerojet General Nucleonics in San Ramon and General Electric at its plants in Vallecitos and San Jose.

Oscar Jaramillo at Sacred Heart Catholic Church; 211 E. First St.; Emmett, ID, on Tuesday, Feb. 17 at 10:30 a.m., with interment to follow at the local cemetery. The youngest of five children, Laura was born in Emmett on Dec. 11, 1924, to George and Mary Brennan Knowles. Laura's childhood was filled with neighborhood friends, Saturday matinees, and summers swimming in the canal. Like many children of her era, Laura had two dresses-one for school days and one for Sundays. Despite the difficult times Laura was proud to say her mother never turned away the occasional drifter who knocked on the back door of the Knowles home asking for a sandwich. In the worst of the Depression, Laura received a pen and an orange for Christmas and years later her daughters always found an orange tucked in the toe of their holiday stockings. In 1947, Laura earned her bachelor's degree in business from the University of Utah where she was a member of Delta Gamma sorority. After graduation, Laura returned home and taught business classes at Emmett High School. She had many fond memories of her former students and admired those few who completed her shorthand course. Three years later, Laura moved to Boise and was employed by the accounting firm Lincoln Kelly. In 1953, Laura received the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony when she wed her long time beau, Wade Titus. After her marriage, Laura worked for M.T. Deaton Co. in Pocatello, while Wade completed pharmacy school. Wade's graduation coincided with the arrival of their first child and the couple returned to Emmett where Wade was employed at Noland Drug Store. Wade purchased the pharmacy in 1966, retiring in 1992, Laura described the 15 years they had together in retirement as the best of her life. Laura was a life-long parishioner of Sacred Heart Catholic Church and was a member of Marian Club and Altar Society. Laura cherished her Catholic faith and Irish heritage and is best remembered for her concern for others and interest in sports and current events, but mostly for the deep love she had for her family. She grieved the loss of her husband, brothers, and sisters and was a loving presence in the lives of her daughters, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and their families. Laura's passing is mourned by her daughter Judy Titus of Scottsdale and daughter and son-in-law MaryAnne Titus and David Hembree of Boise, and her beloved grandchildren Mike and Mari Hembree. Laura was preceded in death by Wade Titus, her husband of 53 years, brothers George and Edward Knowles, sisters Catherine Jenness and Mary Tunison and each of their spouses, as well as Laura's niece, goddaughter, and Special Olympian, Kathleen Knowles. As her health failed, Laura appreciated the Masses and prayers offered on her behalf, as well as the Eucharistic Ministers from St. Mark's who brought Communion to her bedside each Sunday. The family extends their deepest gratitude to Drs. Colin Lee and Shannon Schantz, as well as Drs. Sogol Nowbar and Saadia Akhtar who treated her pulmonary fibrosis. Although her time there was short, Laura enjoyed the companionship of the residents at the Valley View Retirement Community. Additionally, Laura was grateful to the Life Care Center of Treasure Valley and Hearts For Hospice who provided comfort, care, and compassion during her final days.

Leon Everett Titus, Jr. 1930 ~ 2008. Please note: Dad wrote his own obituary prior to his death and wanted to share a summary of his life in his own words with his friends and family. He passed away Monday evening, April 21st. "Dear Friends: My name is Leon Titus, Jr. I was a long-time Tacoma resident and son of the founder of Titus-Will Ford. I was born in Seattle to Leon Titus, Sr. and Doris Titus on March 16, 1930. My dad was a pioneer in the automotive industry. He was a prominent and successful businessman who opened dealerships in the Chehalis, Centralia, Olympia, and Seattle areas before settling in Tacoma. During my early years, dad moved our family (which included himself, my mother, me and my brother Paul) to automobile dealerships in Pendleton, Oregon, Lewiston, Idaho, and Yakima before coming back to Tacoma and founding a downtown dealership, the Titus Motor Company in 1938. I attended Lowell Elementary School, Mason Junior High, and was a boarder at Lakeside School in Seattle from the sixth grade until graduation in 1948. I was a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity at the University of Washington before serving on the front lines in the U.S. Army in the Korean War from 1951-1953. Upon return from the war, I completed my education and graduated with a business administration degree from the University of Washington in 1954. Following graduation, I began my career in car sales at Titus Motor Company. I met Carolyn Douglas of Seattle in 1953 and we were married on July 9, 1955. We made our home in North Tacoma and have lived there since. Carolyn and I celebrated our 52nd wedding anniversary last July. My interest in the car business started when my brother and I worked during the summers in dad's dealerships. It continued as my life work. During the 1950's, I sold cars at the Titus Motor Company until my dad acquired an Edsel car franchise. My brother and I operated the Edsel dealership, Titus Edsel, at 6th and Tacoma Avenue, from 1958-59. In the 1960's, the Edsel dealership closed due to nationwide lackluster sales and I entered management at Titus Motor Company. It was during those years that Jim Will became a partner of my dad's and Titus Motor Company became Titus-Will Ford.In 1967, Titus-Will Ford moved from 624 Broadway to its current location off of I-5. From 1970 until my death, I was President of First National Auto Lease, which had been added to the family holdings in 1949. First National was located at 616 Broadway in the former Titus Motor Company building and was an authorized leasing agent of the Ford Motor Company. I was active in the Tacoma community and held memberships in the Tacoma Athletic Club, Tacoma Country and Golf Club, Fircrest Golf Club, Tacoma Lawn Tennis Club, The Tacoma Club, Elks Club #174, Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber of Commerce, the University of Washington Tyee Club (President's Club), Tacoma Art Museum, Washington State Historical Society, LeMay Car Museum, and the Museum of Glass. In the early 1990's, I was honored by the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber as Small Business Person of the Month. I leave my wife, Carolyn, of 52 years, my two sons, Leon III and Bruce, my two daughters-in-law, Marci and Linda, and my six grandchildren, Courtney, Kirstin, Michael, Paige, Kelly and Matthew Titus, all of Tacoma. I would like to thank Dr. Frank Senecal and the staff at Hematology Oncology NW PC and St. Joseph Medical Center for their first-rate care the past three years, and more recently Franciscan Hospice for providing excellent in-home care. Memorials may be made to the Leon and Carolyn Titus Memorial Scholarship, c/o Bellarmine Development Office, 2300 S. Washington, Tacoma, WA 98405, or Franciscan Hospice/St. Joseph Medical Center, c/o Franciscan Foundation, P.O. Box 1502, Tacoma, WA 98401. In closing, it has been a very good journey and I will continue the journey in paradise looking for the elusive Edsel." Note from our (or as his grandchildren call him - Boppy's) family: We appreciate your thoughts and prayers for Dad and for us. Known for his story telling, wonderful sense of humor, kindness, generosity, and welcoming spirit, we are going to miss him and how he made us laugh, but he will forever be in our hearts. A Reception to honor Dad will be held at Fircrest Golf Club, 1500 Regents Blvd., Tacoma, WA 98466 on Monday, April 28th, beginning at Noon. Please leave online condolences at www.GaffneyCares.com.
