In memoriam

Hiller “Jo” Rousey

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Hiller “Jo” Rousey on Oct. 5, 2024, at the age of 93. She was the loving wife of William “Bill” Rousey, until his passing in October 1999.

Jo is survived by her two children, Kerry Nichols Howell, and Gregg Nichols, along with her stepchildren, Robbin Foss, Fran Carroll and Mike Rousey, 11 grandchildren, 26 great-grandchildren and one great-great grandchild.

After retiring from 31 years at Shell Chemical and before moving to Leisure World, she volunteered with the Long Beach Fire Department and the Long Beach Water Department.

Jo’s last few years were spent in Leisure World, where she made new friends and became a member of Leisure World Community Church. Jo lived a long and full life and enjoyed the LW concerts, the American Legion Auxiliary and Bocce Ball.

Services were held at Forest Lawn in Long Beach, on Oct. 21. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Make a Wish Foundation at Wish.org/
