Kenneth Edmund Gallette

Kenneth Edmund Gallette Went to be with the Lord in the early evening on July 17, 2024 in Fullerton, California at the age of 95. He was born January 13, 1929 in Omaha, Nebraska. At 6 years of age, his family moved to Los Angeles, California. After completing 11th grade at Dorsey High School, Kenneth served his country in the United States Coast Guard. It was while he was stationed at Humboldt Bay in Eureka, California that he met his future wife, Pauline Byrd. They were married Aug. 7, 1949 at the Samoa Women’s Club. They built their life and had four daughters together. Kenneth was an Electrician by trade, but due to an injury had to redirect his career path. He became a businessman, owning a few different ones through the years, but Lincoln Carpets and Interiors and Tustin Carpets were his mainstays.

Kenneth loved people! He never met a stranger! He loved all things military, loved playing card games, singing loudly in his car with the windows down, traveling in his RV, his home Church Redeemer Covenant, but most of all he loved spending time with his family and friends.

Kenneth is survived by his wife of almost 75years, Pauline; children, Linda (Dean) Warkentin, Debra Hill, Karen (Bruce) Anderson, Carol (Tom) Jillson; ten grandchildren, and twenty-four great grandchildren.

Kenneth was preceded in death by his parents Rose and Leonard, his siblings, Kathryn, Ralph, Dennis, Virginia, and Donald, and his beloved son in law Alexander Hill.
