In loving memory
of our dear classmate
Glenda Jean Outhouse
Graveside services for Glenda Jean Outhouse of Whitehouse, Texas will be held on Friday, February 25, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. at Whitehouse Cemetery portico in Whitehouse with Dr. Jay Lockhart officiating under the direction of Stewart Family Funeral Home.
Jeanie passed away Monday, February 21, 2022 in Whitehouse. She was born December 15, 1947 in Dallas and raised in Houston by her beloved parents Glenn Carl Outhouse and Jeanette McKnight Outhouse. After the sudden death of her one love Royce Lalumandier, she never married. Jeanie is preceded in death by her parents and several cousins, including Pat Hartin, David Appleby, Amyjo Appleby, and Linda McKnight Houston.
Ms. Outhouse is survived by her lifelong companion and cousin, Ann Reed of Whitehouse; cousins, Tom and Dianne Harris of Keller, Jami Ackerman of Wiley, Craig Mcknight of Dallas, and Martha Outhouse Mitchell of Mineral Wells.
Jeanie was a member of the Whitehouse Church of Christ. She was a 1965 graduate from Waltrip High School in Houston. She earned both Bachelor of Science and Master of Education Degrees from Stephen F. Austin State University.
Nothing gave her more happiness or purpose than teaching children. In 1970, her career began as an elementary P.E. teacher in various elementary schools in Tyler, Texas. Then in 1977, Jeanie moved to the Aldine ISD in the Houston area where she taught middle school English, became the Curriculum Assistant Principal for Eckert Intermediate School and Aldine 9th Grade School, and completed her 36 year career as Principal of Aldine 9th Grade School. She rejoiced in building a family between administrators, faculty, students, and parents. The school motto was “Together, we will make a difference!”... and they did!
Ms. Outhouse wanted her life to be a living example of Ephesians 4:32 – “And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ.”
In lieu of flowers, memorial may be made to Heart to Heart Hospice, 7925 So. Broadway Ave., Suite 1140, Tyler, TX 75703 or the Whitehouse Fire Department, P.O. Box 776, Whitehouse, TX 75791.

I remember Jeanie as smart, witty, and loads of fun. One of her favorite jokes was about her name. She said that until she met a man with the last name of Smith or Jones she would not marry. Her goal was to have a last name that was universal. I am sure she must have been a wonderful teacher--the kind all kids look forward to having. Heaven awaits you, Jeannie Outhouse!

My recollection of Jeanie is of a bubbly and fun-loving girl. I remember her comment regarding her last name, "Outhouse, the only walking and talking one you'll ever meet." Rest in peace.

Jeannie and I lived down the street from each other out on W. 43rd. I remember a quiet but sweet girl as we rode the school bus to Black Jr. High. I'm glad to read that she had a good life teaching and rising all of the way up the ladder of teaching to become the principal level, doing what she had a passion to do, teaching and helping students prepare to be successful!
Rest In Peace Jeannie!
