Private entombment and loving farewell was held at Hillcrest Memorial Park & 
Mortuary for Dorothy Oldfield Loustalot who passed away on November 18, 2004,

She was born on March 2, 1924 in Bodfish, California to Jack Oldfield and

her early career. She served as bookkeeper for her husband, Frank R. 
Loustalot, Jr., who was the elected Constable for the Arvin Lamont Judicial 
District. She was an advocate for senior caregiving and was cited for her 
volunteerism. She loved people. Her last days were happy. She was loved by the 
staff and residents of the Orchard Heights Senior Community and Special Care 
Unit, in West Salem, Oregon. Her family was close by. She would often say, I 
just LOVE it here. 

She was preceded in death by her husband, Frank; her son, Dr. John Byrom; her 
sister, Florence Wheeler and parents, Jack and Daisy Oldfield. She is survived 
by her son, Tom Loustalot and his wife, Sue of Tehachapi, CA; daughter, Jill 
Martin and her husband, Lloyd of Dallas, Oregon; daughter-in-law, Glenda Byrom 
of Bakersfield; sister-in-law, Yvonne Liner of Bakersfield; brother-in-law and

grandchildren, Michael Loustalot (Sharon) of Bay Point, CA; Kimberly Loustalot 
of Bakersfield; Shawna Byers (James) of Bakersfield, Deric Haddad (Heather) of 
Elizabeth, PA; Cale, Drew and Paige Byrom of Bakersfield; four great-
grandchildren, Wylie and Abraham Haddad of Elizabeth, PA; Karl Loustalot and 
Hudson Byers of Bakersfield; niece, Monica Carrasco of Ridgecrest and many 
other nieces and nephews.

Special thanks to Amberly Van Winkle, her private caregiver. The family will 
always hold dear all the caregivers and staff at Dallas Retirement Village, 
and Orchard Heights Senior Commuity and Special Care Memory Unit, especially, 
Jillien Smith, Pastor Gene Regan, Natalie Barnett and Andria Carroll. 

Memorial gifts can be made to the Dorothy Loustalot Memorial Fund, c/o KSFCU,

unit at Orchard Heights Senior Community in Salem, OR, the place that treated 
her like a special angel in her last days. 

A Celebration of Life service will be held at a later date in Salem, Oregon.
