| Angelino, Lita Jane Lila Jane Angelino found her way home on February 13th. She was born February 23rd, 1925, in Los Angeles, California. She spent her youth among the glamour of Hollywood and the entertainment industry working at Grauman Chinese Theatre, MGM Studios and becoming a life time member of the Professional Musician Local 47, which is affiliated with the American Federa- tion of Musicians. Music, especially jazz, had become a large part of Lila's life. Jeri Brown was her life-long business partner and as her mentor in music taught her how to play the bass. They traveled from one end of the country to the other, including Alaska and Hawaii performing as the "Bel-Aires". Lila retired when she moved to Lake Arrowhead, CA, while Jeri continued performing. In 1984 Jackie, Jeri, and Lila moved to Colbert, WA, where Jeri continued to entertain. Lila and Jackie supported her gigs and were in charge of the equipment. Lila was well taken care of by the excellent staff at Royal Park Care Center and we would like to extend our thanks and gratitude to the group. In her last hours she was surrounded by loved ones and friends as she passed peaceably. Mass will be said on Monday February 22, at St. Joseph's Catholic Church (3720 E. Colbert Rd., Colbert, WA 99005). A celebration of Lila's life will be on March 6th from 11 am to 2:30 pm at St. Joseph'sCatholic Church. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Spokane Humane Society (6607 N. Havana St., Spokane, WA. 99217).
