Lowell D. "Silver" Hinderliter

Lowell D. "Silver" Hinderliter, 82, of Casper, Wyoming passed away Monday, March 3, 2025 with his family at his side.

Lowell was born May 25, 1942 in Ottawa, Kansas to Kenneth and Vada (Brady) Hinderliter. While growing up in Ottawa, during his high school years, Lowell worked on his family's farm as well as working at a Dairy Plant and Pepsi Plant in Ottawa. Lowell moved to Wyoming to work for Prairie Publishing as a Pressman in 1965 until they closed in 1993. He then went to work for House of Printing until retiring at the age of 72.

Lowell met his soul-mate and the love of his life, Luella Perea (Lu), in Casper and they were married in 1970. Lu became Mom to Lowell's three children, Richard, Debbie, and Frank. The family was complete with the birth of Cindy.

Lowell loved to hunt and taught his children the love of the hunt. He enjoyed fishing and camping - any outdoor activity - especially golfing. Richard, his son, gave him the nickname "Silver" because of his silver hair. He was known thereafter as "Silver" to his children, grandchildren and his golfing buddies. He loved to work in his yard and had pride for his well maintained lawn, flowers and gardening. Silver adopted PeeWee, the squirrel, who the family will continue to feed and care for. PeeWee has shared the secret and other squirrels are benefiting from Silver's attention.

Lowell was a Cub Scout leader, taking his scouts on many outings and teaching them valuable life and outdoor skills. He was Santa for his family and friends and also at the Casper Orphanage, which just shows how big his heart was for children and community. Many summer vacations were spent on the road to different camping areas with family and friends; camping at times in tents and other times in camping trailers. He taught his children the love of the outdoors.

Lowell was a devoted husband and father. His life was filled with love for Lu, his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He taught his children that a job worth doing is worth doing right. He instilled the values of kindness, trust, honesty and respect to his children. He taught them to be responsible and caring.

Lowell was preceded in death by his parents and infant brother, Frank; parents-in-law, Charles and Emma Hawley; brother-in-law, Jeff Hawley.

He is survived by his wife, Luella; children, Richard (Jeanene); Debbie (Martin) Hedrick-Nieto; Frank (Jennifer); Cindy (Chris) Osenbaugh; grandchildren, Tasha Bennion; Kristen Drake; Leslie Martin; Gabrielle Nieto; Makayla Casarez; Crystal Van De Riet; Lora Terrel; James Hinderliter; Jordyn Osenbaugh; Lauren Osenbaugh; and great-grandchildren, Hannah, Aiden, Eli, Beau, Bryce, Pyper, Hailey, Easton, Jay, Scarlett, Oliver, Orion, Quinnleigh, Harper, Maverick, Jaxon and Leona.
