Louise Alexander Trautman passed away peacefully on July 25, 2011.
Louise (93) was born September 28, 1917 in Pocatello, Idaho to William and Carrie Alexander, the 2nd of 6 children. The family moved to Boise shortly thereafter, where Louise resided the majority of her life. She attended Whitney School and Boise High School, and worked for Mountain Bell as a telephone operator until the time she married Kenny Trautman on April 26, 1941. They began raising a family together and had a wonderful marriage of 59 years until Kenny’s death on September 14, 2000. Their 3 children include: Carolyn Anderson (d. 1992), Jim Trautman of Lebanon, OR and Steve Trautman of Boise, ID. Louise was a beautiful person inside and out with movie-star good looks. She was a wonderful wife, mother and homemaker, well known for her homemade bread, raspberry jam, chicken and homemade noodles. She was special and loved by all who knew her.
