Barbara Jean Haskell

March 16 1948 - October 20 2021

Barbara Jean (King) Haskell, daughter of Raymond and Helen King, was born March 16, 1948, in St. Paul, Minnesota. She is survived by one sister, Nancy Strathman, her husband of 53 years, Herald Sargent �Sarge� Haskell, her daughter Melissa (James) Bennett and her son Jason Haskell. Her granddaughters include Allyson Hatcher, Rachel (Austin) Murray, Lynette Hatcher, Emily (Christian) Gulstrom and Joely Hatcher and her grandsons are Andrew (Andrea) Haskell, Nathaniel Haskell and Caleb (Kaelyn) Bennett. There are four great grandsons: Nolan and Roran Faber, Liam Lingle and Alexander Gulstrom. Her grandchildren affectionately call her �Baba�. She is also deeply loved by many nieces and nephews and countless people who have been loved and cared for by her through the years.
Barbara lived her life caring and providing for others with her time and resources. From the single mom, to the homeless, to the widow, she loved them all and would do everything in her power to see their lives transformed by the love of the Lord. Her faith in Jesus Christ as her personal Lord and Savior led her to memorize large portions of the Bible and she spent hours praying for all her family and friends. As a pastor�s wife to her husband Sarge, she worked in the ministry they shared for decades in Salem, side by side, reaching out to the community with the hope of the gospel. Barbara taught many a Sunday School class, played with the toddlers in the nursery, and directed Vacation Bible Schools in the summer. She also loved to play the piano, and to worship the Lord with singing.
A lover of antiques, collectibles and books, Barbara spent much of her life learning all about these things, becoming quite the expert at finding them at estate sales and thrift shops and created a business in sale and re-sale of many treasures. She also owned an antiquarian used bookstore in downtown Salem called The Manuscript, from 1975-1984.
Gardening was a passion of hers, and she could make beautiful flower arrangements too. She had a knack for interior design and helping others put a name to their personal style. She loved to renovate and redecorate homes and had a vision for every space around her.
Her family also loved to eat at Baba�s because she was an excellent cook who believed the best food was made with real butter and plenty of it! She loved gathering over a meal, and her beloved Norwegian Christmas Eve dinner of Swedish meatballs, fruit soup and lefse--a memory treasured forever. In keeping with her beloved Norwegian grandmother Anna�s influence, her home is beautifully decorated and influenced by d�cor from Scandinavia.
From her childhood, Barbara loved to read, loved words, wrote poetry and stories, was on debate teams and enjoyed speeches, and she passed that legacy on to her children and grandchildren. She encouraged them all to love reading, to learn a new word and use it everyday and kept an unabridged and open dictionary on a stand in the hallway of her home always to inspire this practice. While she loved classic literature, or a good romantic novel, she grew to love God�s Word as the greatest book of all and encouraged everyone to read and memorize it.
Barbara�s vivid and playful imagination could bring an ordinary �stuffer� (stuffed animal) to life, much to the delight of all the children (and many adults) in her life. Every toy had a back story, and every family trip or vacation involved fanciful and creative stories of how a creek, or a city got its name. She could literally make them up on the spot, sounding absolutely factual.
People who knew her well appreciated her direct mid-western forthrightness and sought her out for wise advice, which was often accompanied with wit and humor. Although not always acknowledged at the time, her wisdom proved to be right almost every single time.
At 73 years of age, Barbara remained active in creating beautiful garden spaces, renovating houses, bookkeeping for multiple people, selling treasures on the internet and retail outlets, and took care of everyone around her with selfless love. She was unexpectedly called from earth to heaven on October 20, 2021, and she will be greatly missed by her family and friends and in the community of Salem.
Her greatest desire for friends and family was for them to share her faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, and to spend eternity with them in heaven.
She will be remembered and laid to rest on Thursday, October 28th at 1:00 p.m. at City View Funeral Home and Cemetery at 390 Hoyt St. S, Salem, Oregon, 97302. Bobby Chance and her husband, Sarge Haskell, will be officiating the service.

Terri Dawn Stanley

May 20 1959 - October 16 2021

Terri Dawn Murie Stanley

Terri was born on May 20, 1959, in San Pedro, California to Twila Dawn Jennings and Everett Willard Murie. Her family moved to Oregon in October 1959 where she lived most of her life. God called her Home to her eternal resting place on Saturday, October 16, 2021 in the presence of her family.

As a small child, she was blessed to spend a great deal of time with her maternal grandparents. She had a very special relationship with her grandmother, Jessie Dee Jennings, and learned many of her skills from watching her. She said she would always remember the sound of the needle going through the material as her grandma embroidered many beautiful items for her family. Grandpa Daniel Albert Jennings spent hours reading to her. She credited him for her passion of reading.

She began her school years at Gervais Elementary School. After moving to Salem in 1970, she attended Hayesville Grade School, Waldo Middle School, and graduated from McNary High School in 1977. She enjoyed her time in the school choirs and being the pianist for the Stage Band while attending McNary. When working full time for the School District she also made time to attend Eastern Oregon University and received a Bachelor of Science in Liberal Arts and a Minor in History. It had been a long-time dream to finish her education.

One of the many highlights of Terri�s life was her ability to take her daughters to Disneyland many times. She also spent a wonderful vacation in Disneyland with her father just prior to his death. This trip sparked a lifetime interest in all things Disney.

Terri was an avid reader and had read her Bible several times. She was a Kindergarten teacher when Carissa was in pre-school, a position that was one of her all-time favorites. She loved crafting and making scrap books with the many pictures of her children and grandchildren. She owned a shop called Sunflower Corner where she sold many of her craft items. She was an active participant in the Green Show for several years. She then moved on to making quilts and in one year made a quilt for each of her six grandchildren and several others. Quilting was a passion, and she planned each quilt to reflect the person who would receive it. She was a born planner and enjoyed planning activities for all types of occasions.

In addition to all the above, Terri spent hours in supporting her daughters in all their activities. She attended all the swim meets, softball games, choir productions, plays, and all other activities they enjoyed. She loved being a hands-on mother and volunteered for many things during these activities to show her support for both Carissa and Jessie as well as the team or group.

During her time working for the State of Oregon, Terri worked for DMV, Mental Health, and Senior Services. In the early 1980�s she made the decision to move to Washington and attend Bible School and work in Washington for a couple of years. When she returned to Oregon, her last employment was through the Salem Keizer School District where she worked as Office Manager for Special Education, retiring after 21 years from this position.

Terri is survived by her two daughters, Carissa Dawn Stanley and Jessie Lynn Stanley (Bryan) Wolf; and six grandchildren who were the loves of her life. They are the Bennett children: Emery Madisen, Finnigen Lee and Addelyn Taylor; and the Wolf children: Michael Kenneth, Olivia Dawn, and Nicklaus Alexander. She is also survived by her mother, Twila Smith; a sister Sherri Lynn (David) Cartwright, many aunts, uncles, cousins, and a large extended family as well as many special friends. She was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, her father, Everett Willard Murie and her stepfather, Roy Kenneth Smith, as well as several aunts, uncles and cousins.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Jacqueline Marie White

September 21 2021 - September 16 2021

Jacquie was born Jacqueline Marie White on September 21, 1947 in Torrance, California. Her beautiful parents were Catherine Louise and Delbert James White. She has a wonderful sister Josephine �Jo� and a great brother Jim, and three nephews Joey, Billy, and Jimmy.

She grew up in Torrance and went to Catholic School and upon high school graduation, went to college for an associate degree in Radiologic Technology and did her radiology internship at Harbor UCLA Medical Center in Torrance. She worked at the hospital after graduating and eventually became a teacher there. Jacquie and her sister Jo went to occasional Amtrak trips and they would always take their food supply of crunchy peanut butter and saltine crackers along. Her family often took trips back to Iowa to see both of their parent`s families. On one of the trips, Jacquie�s cousin Rick took her for a long ride in his pickup in the dead of winter. He hadn�t mentioned that he had a flat tire and it took awhile to get Grandpa and Uncle Butch to come help with that tire. That was about her last winter trip to Iowa.

She moved to Albany, Oregon with her two best friends Linda and Pat. Linda, in the meantime, had a little girl named Tomlin. Jacquie had the pleasure of helping Linda raise this dear little girl. Jacquie worked at the Albany hospital for many years in radiology.

While living in Albany, her sister Jo, husband Bill and their son Joey moved from California to Albany. She was offered a job at Salem Clinic in Salem, Oregon and worked there until she retired. While working in Salem and living in Albany, one of her friends Gloria asked her to be roommates with her in Salem.

They were friends from both working in Albany and became best friends and roommates. Their friendship, best buds, lasted 40 years. They did many trips and activities together. Roadtrips were their favorite. They always stopped and had baloney sandwiches, tater chips and bananas on their journies. They would go to Sunriver with 6 or 8 of their galfriends almost every year and go canoeing. They played card games in the evenings, and each would take turns doing the cooking. Jacquie and Gloria also enjoyed going to Disneyland together.

When she retired, she decided that she needed a little extra income. Someone suggested pet-sitting and she tried it and loved it since then. They weren�t just cats and dogs and an occasional horse to Jacquie; they were like her children.

She loved her church, Queen of Peace, and her church family. She enjoyed the ladies in her Bible Study Class. She loved her neighbors, they were also like her family. Jacquie and Gloria would have picnics with everyone.

She has a large family of loving and caring people. She was thankful for everything, even beautiful sunrises, rainbows, the first rain of the season, people and all animals.

Jacquie and Glo referred to each other with nicknames and Jacquie was �the old bag�. When Gloria would call the Salem Clinic Radiology Dept, she would ask for �the old bag� and they would know who they meant. One day she called and it was a man who answered and she asked for the old bag again and he asked �which one?�

She was easy-going and didn�t mind ice cream and brownies for breakfast. She did not like green beans so Glo would have to get her green beans fill at the Great Wall which was one of Jacquie�s favorite places. She liked her carne asada burrito from Cozumel and her chicken yakasoba from LovesLoves. But she also had a reputation as a great cook. Her dishes were Spanish rice, potato salad, apple banana salad and more� just to name a few. She also made the best Christmas cookies and other treats.

She and Glo loved going around to their friends� and it didn�t necessarily have to be a holiday and leave behind a little happiness gifts here and there. She had a giving heart and one of her favorite charities was St. Jude, but at Christmas she always loved taking names off of the tree at church. She went all out, and that was Jacquie.

Jean May Matney

May 24 1927 - August 11 2021

Jean May Matney was born in Cheyenne, WY to Walter Y. and Ina Lee (Stone) Dyer. The 2nd of three children, she grew up during the Great Depression, which inspired a lifetime of re-cycling, re-doing and re-using. Jean really enjoyed taking an ugly, worn-out item and making it usable and beautiful again.
At age 14, she moved to OR with her family. WWII started while Jean was in High School, and a call came from Swan Island Shipyards for any girls that wanted to work. This unusual call was due to the shortage of men who were now at war. Jean excelled in welding and for the duration of the war, welded in the double bottoms of the ships. Years later her maritime welds were still recognized and valued. During this period in her life, she was also active in her church as a youth leader. It was through a program at the church that she met the love of her life, Mark, a sailor returning from the war. A very short 5 weeks later they married and began their lives together attending bible college in Eugene, OR. For the next five decades they served together at various churches throughout OR and CO. Jean played piano or organ and Mark preached the Word. At times, Jean also a licensed preacher, would prepare and give the weekly sermons. She continued to work with children and teens all through their years of service.
After retirement from the ministry, Jean volunteered at the local school. Before long she was promoted to the position of Para-Teacher, a joy that lasted eleven years.
Jean had many hobbies and talents and collected many things. One of her favorites was a massive doll collection. She repaired broken dolls, made them new clothes and blankets and then shared them with residents in nursing facilities. Jean and her dolls also performed object lessons and told bible stories for church meetings, conferences and private leadership events. Her silk rose arrangements looked so real they had to be touched to make sure they weren�t alive. As a master cake decorator, her creations not only tasted good, but they were also beautiful and award winning as well.
All through the years, Jean�s trust in Jesus and her amazing relationship with her Lord and Best Friend helped her as she ministered, raised the couple�s three children, and worked outside the home. Only eternity will reveal the true impact of her devotion to Christ and her obedience to His Calling.
In addition to her three children and their spouses she is survived by seven grandchildren, 22 great grandchildren and one great-great grandchild. Jean was preceded in death by her parents, sister Hazel, brother Lee, her husband of 75 years, Mark, and 2 grandchildren.

One of her favorite memories was working at Millers Dept store, where she modeled some of the store�s fashions and kept the parking meters full of nickels so you could shop all day.
Russ and Vi owned a dairy farm until 1968. As a dairy farmer�s wife, she still put her creative skills to work as she made dresses for her daughters and arranged flowers from her garden. She was always surrounded by beauty, much of which she created herself.
After selling the dairy in 1968. Russ went into Real Estate and Vi bought Pembertons Flower shop in Salem. This served as an example to her children and grandchildren, as she was a highly successful business woman prior to that being a popular trend. At Pembertons, Vi continued to exude elegance and grace in her showstopping flower arrangements and in the way she treated her employees and customers. Because of the exquisite designs, Pembertons quickly became the sought after florist for special events. Whether it was a wedding, funeral, event at the Capitol or countless other events, Vi and her staff brought beauty, elegance and grace through their designs
Vi eventually built a large greenhouse where she raised tropical flowers. Raising the orchids and gardenias were her very favorites. She worked six days a week, building Pembertons Flowers into one of the top 500 florists in the United States, as rated by the American Floral Society, while always leaving Sundays to worship at her church. She continued working and going into the flower shop until 2019. Vi had so many friends and wonderful employees at Pembertons. Some of them were there for over forty years. Thanks to all of you for being such faithful, hard workers. She loved you all!
Russ and Vi also loved to travel. Often they would take off in their motorhome where they made short trips to the coast as well as cross country trips. One trip was from Texas to the North Pole, AK a total of eleven thousand miles on that trip alone. Throughout their travels, her favorite destination was Hawaii, where she could be surrounded by the beauty she loved so much.
Vi loved God and her church. She had a special connection to many of her friends there. Her passion was raising her children to know our Heavenly Father so they can live eternally in his grace. She has finished the race and graduated to Heaven to be with her husband, Russel, her son, Gregory Alan Hicks, and two daughters, Lori Sue Hicks and Valarie Kay Drake.

Vi did life well. In hard times and in good times, she was nothing but pure beauty, elegance and grace. She is a wonderful example for all of us to follow. We rest assured that she is now surrounded by more beauty than she could ever imagine and celebrating with those who have gone before her.

After a long battle with various ailments, Judy Fricke passed away peacefully on June 27. She spent most of her early life in Salem, except for a 3-year detour to Corvallis where, in 1978, she proudly received a degree in elementary education hoping to become a teacher. Those plans were put on hold in 1979 when Dan dragged her to Southern California where they lived for almost 14 years.

Frank Roy Styles

August 29 1934 - June 24 2021

Frank Roy Styles �Papa� was born on August 29th, 1934, in Burnsville, North Carolina. Frank is the middle of six children born to Mr. and Mrs. Styles. Frank often shared memories of growing up on the family tobacco farm and the adventures of taking care of his family�s property and animals. Frank graduated from Burnsville High School in May of 1953 and joined the U.S. Navy in November of 1953.
From November of 1953 to October of 1957 Frank courageously served his country by joining the U.S. Navy. Frank was stationed to the Bon Homme Richard (CV-31) and worked as machine maintenance operator. During his service Frank was awarded the Good Conduct metal.
During his time in the Navy Frank met the love of his life Mary Allen whom he married on March 10th, 1957. It was during their marriage that Frank and Mary continued their legacy with the birth of three sons: Ron, Mark, and Kelly. Family was of the utmost importance to the Styles family. Part of the legacy that both Frank and Mary instilled into their children and grandchildren is fierce loyalty, love, and an overwhelming endurance to push through anything no matter how difficult it may seem.
Frank was known for his hardworking, kind, and fair disposition. He used these skills to suit him and his carpet business that supported his family on their many adventures of life. As his boys grew, they came alongside their father and worked in the family business side by side. Knowing the love he has for his children these days were likely some of the most precious times. Ron remembers the character of his dad in many ways, but one that sticks out most was his willingness to help anyone regardless of it being family or not. When Ron and Kelly were racing dirt bikes in Alaska, dad always sat on his perch at the track. If there was an accident, it didn�t matter who it was dad would run down and try to help. Kelly remembers the comfort of his father. Dad would get home from work, take a shower, and wait in his chair for Grandma to serve dinner. It was during this time that Kelly would rush to jump in his lap and wait with him and watch TV. One of the most distinct reminders of this special time was the smell of Dad�s Old Spice, a scent that Kelly has carried into his own life. Dad offered many pearls of wisdom, but of the most significant was teaching his boys, that to be a man you have to be vulnerable and strong.
As Frank became a grandfather, he was known by all as PAPA, a title that not only suited him, but was one he was honored to carry. As we know, Papa was hardworking, but that did not mean he missed seeing his boys play ball. Papa also took the time to teach his grandchildren the importance of caring for your things and one another. Papa was a man of dependability. Miah remembers if there was a game, Papa was there. If you needed a ride, Papa was there. Papa was also a sharer of knowledge and fun times. Josh remembers Papa taking the time to teach him how to wash a car, change the oil, going on Sunday drives, bowling, and of course the infamous San Jose Flea Market trips.
Papa was a man that if you were lucky to have met him, you felt a piece of your heart was complete. The warmth that was felt in your soul each time he wrapped you in his arms was a moment of pure comfort. He was a man of honor and integrity, joy and sunshine, and it is those traits we will continue to carry as we continue to live out his legacy.
Who can�t remember Papa asking: Do you think it will work son? What Papa? A windshield wiper on a ducks�. You all know the rest.
Frank is preceded in death by his beloved Mary Styles, and son Mark Styles. Surviving family members are Ron Styles, Kelly Styles, grandchild Miah Styles, great-grandchildren Karter and Abbott Styles, grandchild Josh and Krystal Styles and great-grandchild Hunter Styles.
Thank you Papa for being you, a man that made our lives complete in so many ways. You will be forever missed.

Luis Benito Caraballo

March 15 1954 - April 3 2021

On Saturday April 3, 2021, Luis Caraballo, loving husband, father, and grandfather passed away at the age of 67.

Luis was born on March 15, 1954 in San Juan, Puerto Rico to Benito and Rosa (Rodriguez) Caraballo. Growing up in an Army family, Luis traveled much of the world and the United States in his youth and formative years gaining unique experiences and lessons until working toward his Bachelors education at William & Mary College in Virginia. Seeking more from life, Luis was accepted and attended Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon where he later attained his Juris Doctorate in Law in 1979.

Over the following years, Luis practiced Law in a variety of forms working toward helping migrant workers and immigrant families navigate the legal system in an effort to improve the world around himself. When his ambitions grew, Luis found himself working for the State of Oregon government in many forms from transportation to Medicaid programs - even working with various Governors and Legislators of Oregon to draft laws that still exist today. During his time working in government, Luis met his wife Stacey (Gisler) whom he married on November 23, 1985 while surrounded by friends and family. Together they raised two daughters and one son; Acacia, Adric, and Anissa.

Luis had a passion for good people and good food. He was a passionate chef, and often found himself in good company with whom he enjoyed sharing a good meal. His classic Puerto Rican cooking was admired and enjoyed by everyone who shared a meal with him, and left a lasting impact that always brought people back to his kitchen. He was also a lover of the music of his era, The Golden Oldies, and often found himself waxing nostalgically and sharing his worldly experiences to the tune of a classic one-hit wonder. He was known among his family and friends as a man of wit, intellect, and the ultimate dad joke teller. His experiences and understanding of the world around him are rivaled only by a select few, which made him a truly unique man to enjoy as company.

Luis is survived by his wife Stacey, his younger brothers Walter and Mike, and his children, Acacia, Adric, and Anissa. He also leaves behind a wealth of aunts, uncles, and cousins as well as his three and a half grandchildren; Yvie, Everett, Korvo, and soon to be born Carson.

Jean M. Pfohl

July 13 1942 - March 12 2021

Jeanette Maryann Pfohl went home on Friday evening, March 12, 2021. She was born on July 13, 1942 in Richardton, North Dakota to Loretta Elizabeth (Garecht) and Edwin Reinhold Ulrich. Her family remained in North Dakota and moved to Tacoma, Washington when Jean was in 4th grade. Jean graduated from Lincoln High School in Tacoma in June of 1960. From her earliest days, she worked in retail sales at department stores to support herself and to provide things for her mother and siblings.

Jean was just 18 years old when a young 22-year-old U.S. Air Force service man named Don Pfohl first met her. It was happenstance that they met, but for Don it was one of the best days of his life. Don was waiting for her to come out of her house, and she exited onto a small porch. For the rest of his life, Don called Jean �the little girl on the porch,� and he loved her every day for the rest of his life. For her part, Jean wanted no part of a service man, so Don had his work cut out for him.

Over the next year, a courtship began, and slowly developed into a two-way, lifelong love affair. In mid 1961, Don was discharged from the Air Force and returned to his home in San Francisco to go to college and at the same time support himself. Wedding plans were starting to form in Tacoma, but a long-distance love affair was not to happen. Jean and her family traveled to San Francisco in August of 1961 where Don and Jean were married surrounded by both families at Grace Lutheran Church. Jean was now 19 years old, and Don was 23. The couple celebrated their 59th wedding anniversary before Jean had to leave this life. Don�s heart is broken, as 59 years was not nearly enough.

In a lot of ways, they grew up together. They learned to love each other more every day, and to be parents and support one another throughout their lives. Jean got to be her own person while being a wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend. Don and Jean weathered the loss of their first child to birth complications, but they are joining him again.

Jean was preceded in death by her parents, Ed and Loretta Ulrich, by her brother Edwin (Sonny) Ulrich, and by her first son, Donald Pfohl, Jr.

Jean is survived by her husband, Don, by her four children, Mike, Denise Gomez (Jose), Greg, and Lori Holder (Dale), Mike�s daughter Rebecca (Anthony), Denise and her husband Jose�s children, Andrew (Natalie), David, Joshua, Ashley, Jonathan, and Benjamin, and by Greg�s children, Christian Thomas and Hannah Elizabeth. In addition to her nine grandchildren, Jean also was blessed with five great grandchildren in Shane, Gage, Hayden, Annabel, and Ziggy. Jean also leaves a grieving sister, Ginger Frongner, a fantastic brother-in-law in Steve Frongner, and a wonderful sister, Evie Kassabian.

Jean was born to be a mother. She dearly loved and cared for her children. When the day came that she was elevated to the title of �Nana�, it was as if she had found her calling in life. Jean became the best Nana her grandchildren and great grandchildren could�ve ever had, and also became Nana to the children of friends of the family.

Don and Jean had special, lifelong friends from Don�s Air Force Service. Yearly reunions followed while eight service men and their lifelong wives followed. Larry and Virginia Moore (Washington), Jack and Kay Matheny (Wyoming), Bruce and Jan Coe (Kansas-Wyoming), Merv and Ruth Bjerke (Minnesota-California), Dan and Charlotte Damberg (Washington), Bob and Rebecca Bowns (Philippines-Utah), and J.R. and Rosemary Heier (Kansas-California).

A special and huge amount of gratitude is given for Jean�s caregivers. Jean entered hospice in October 2020, and the decision was made to care for her at home. Jean�s daughter, Denise, and granddaughters Ashley, Hannah and Rebecca, and retired nurse Ana Alverez all gave round the clock care as Jean grew ever more ill from the effects of dementia. In addition to the family members, Jean was also cared for by Hospice Care of the Northwest. A ton of gratitude goes to their team members Brandy, Chris, Kate, Kevin, Kim, and Lesley. We could not have asked for any better care for Jean. These special caregivers will someday meet Jean again in heaven.

Jean�s favorite place to go was Disneyland. Even in her later years, Don would take Jean and the two would walk hand-in-hand down Main Street as if they were still kids. On the occasions that Jean would get to take her grandchildren and great grandchildren to the park, it became her heaven on earth.

The �girl on the porch� is now gone, but as long as her husband, sisters, children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren are alive, then Jean goes on.

She then commuted by train to Boston University where she earned a bachelor`s degree in sociology in 1941, and completed a year of graduate school in social work. Many years later, she earned a teaching credential from Humboldt State University in Arcata, California.

It was at Boston University that she met her future husband, Clarence Crane, Jr. (`Tige`), who was in medical school. She had joined BU`s chapter of Alpha Phi sorority and a sorority sister set them up on a blind date. They married in 1942. When Tige was assigned to the Pacific Theatre during World War II, she came west to live with her mother-in-law, Stella H. Crane, in Fernbridge, California, in 1943. After the war the couple and their two young children moved to Ferndale where Dr. Crane joined a medical practice.

Ruth had a particular gift with children and, as her three children went through Ferndale schools, she wrote and choreographed variety shows, sailor`s hornpipes, limericks, minuets and tap dances for them and their classmates; she was a leader of her son Doug`s Cub Scout troop. She loved parties and invented games and performances for family holidays and youth groups. The Cranes enjoyed hosting family and friends from near and far at their Ferndale home--missionaries, medical interns, and students needing a home during the academic year. At one Thanksgiving dinner Ruth asked everyone who had come to be weighed before dinner and after they had eaten, then reported the differences. She often took the family`s international doll collection to elementary schools and talked about varied cultural traditions while dressing the students in authentic clothing that matched that worn by the dolls. Over the years she also tutored many children in mathematics.

Ruth was a passionate birdwatcher and for many years participated in Humboldt County Audubon`s New Year`s and annual breeding bird counts with her husband, children, extended family and friends--for which she always made Boston Baked Beans and coleslaw. She and her husband traveled to identify and observe birds in South America, Alaska, Texas, and the Gaspe Peninsula in Quebec. With her daughter, Janet, she birded in the woods of Hawaii and the Appalachians, the marshes of Florida and the Gulf Coast, and in Arizona, Montana and eastern Oregon. She taught bird identification to her three children as well as to nephews, in-laws, and anyone who showed an interest; it remains a popular family activity. She was active in the Redwood Region Audubon Society for more than 50 years.

Ruth loved the Episcopal Church and taught Sunday School at St. Francis Church after the Cranes moved to Fortuna in the early 1970s. She played the organ or piano on occasion in both the Ferndale and Fortuna churches. She played the piano by ear and organized memorable two-piano concerts for young pianists in her Ferndale living room.

Ruth was the descendant of prominent early New England colonists, including several Mayflower passengers and the first European settlers on Nantucket. She was active in DAR as well as local book clubs and the Humboldt medical wives auxiliary.

Ruth is survived by her three children: Janet Crane, of Atlanta, Georgia; Dick Crane, of Payson, Arizona; and Douglas Crane, of Portland, Oregon; six grandchildren, Nicole James Howton, Angela Crane, Michelle Crane Cannon, Michael Crane, Tim Crane, and Ben Crane; eleven great-grandchildren; and three great-great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, Clarence Crane, Jr.; her older brother, Harold Weeks, of Dedham, Massachusetts; and her older sister, Dorothy Weeks Anderson, late of Portland, Oregon. She will be interred in the Crane-McCully family plot, in Pioneer Cemetery, Salem, Oregon, next to her late husband. A private celebration of her life is planned in Salem
later in the year. Her children ask that in lieu of flowers you send a donation to either The Audubon Society (www.audubon.org) or The Nature Conservancy (www.nature.org), on whose properties Ruth enjoyed the outdoors and so many birds.

Bert J. Mackaman

January 9 1942 - January 25 2021

Bert J. Mackaman of Salem, Oregon, died January 25, 2021.
Bert was born in Dallas, Texas on January 9, 1942. He graduated from the US Naval Academy in 1964 with distinction, and married his second grade sweetheart, Carolyn Wood, that same year. The Navy assigned them to interesting places like Japan, Hawaii, California, Rhode Island, and England. Bert served as an officer from 1964 through 1970, completing tours of duty aboard the USS Joseph Strauss (DDG-16) and USS Turner Joy (DD-951). Highly successful, Bert was promoted early to the rank of lieutenant commander prior to leaving the service in pursuit of his dream to practice medicine. Bert attended medical school at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, graduating in 1974, and he completed his dermatology residency in Columbia, Missouri in 1978. Dr. Mackaman enjoyed a thirty year career caring for patients as a dermatologist in Salem, Oregon. He was a gentle and kind person, with a wonderful sense of humor, beloved by his family, neighbors, patients, and business associates. Bert left a permanent and lasting impression on everyone with whom he came in contact.

Bert possessed a deep and abiding love of his Savior Jesus Christ and shared that same love with family, friends and strangers alike. During life�s trials, he found great strength and comfort from scripture, especially the twenty-third Psalm: �The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want�Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.�

One of Bert�s greatest trials was the loss of his wife Carolyn to lymphoma in 2004, but the Lord sustained him through that difficult period. Bert eventually took an interest in square dancing at the IWW club where he met his beloved dance partner Dee. The pair was married in May 2009. Bert and Dee shared a deep devotion to each other and enjoyed square dancing, RVing, globetrotting and, most of all, family!

Bert was committed to positively impacting his community, whether through serving others at church, leading Boy Scouts on outdoor adventures or volunteering time at local medical clinics. He was a faithful husband, devoted father, exceptional role model, and a friend to many. Bert also had a knack for languages, delighted in traveling, and demonstrated a true gift for discovering interesting places, meeting people and making friends from all walks of life. His caring and uplifting notes were always appreciated.

Bert is survived by his wife Dee; son John �Randy� Mackaman (Susan); son Gerald Mackaman (Linda) and grandsons James, Jonathan, Joshua, and Josiah; Dee�s daughter Lisa Boschee (Chris) and granddaughter Kourtney Molash (Devin); Dee�s son Mike Warren (Jodi) and grandchildren Chloe and Colby. Bert is also survived by his sister Linda Young (Jim) and brother Donald Mackaman (Mary Ellen). He was preceded in death by his first wife Carolyn Wood and his parents Donald and Kathryn Mackaman.

A memorial service will be held at First Christian Church of Salem, 685 Marion Street NE at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, February 5, 2021. Due to COVID restrictions, the service will be live streamed at http://www.salemfcc.org. If you would like to attend in person please call the church at (503) 363-9273 for a reservation. Assisting the family is City View Funeral Home.

Molly Cliff Hilts

February 20 1958 - January 21 2021

Molly Cliff Hilts, 62, passed away on Thursday, January 21, 2021 in Portland,
Oregon. She had been suffering with cancer for 18 months. She died peacefully at home, surrounded by love.

Molly was born on February 20, 1958 in Palo Alto, California, to Lee and Nell
Cliff. She was the first of four children born within the five and a half years that followed. She graduated from Piedmont High School, class of
1976. She attended college at the University of Oregon and graduated from Porter College at the University of California at Santa Cruz with a BA in
Studio Arts.

Molly�s family was near and dear to her. She met her husband Dave in 1977 while attending the University of Oregon. They reconnected in 1988 and were married in 1991. Dave was Molly�s rock, a loving and patient husband, multi-talented and solid. Their sons, Wade, 27, and Dane, 25, live near their
Portland home and they all spend a great deal of time together. Dane is engaged to Dulce, a woman loved by all, especially Molly. Molly�s siblings and parents all live in California and were always an active part of Molly�s life.
Molly�s interests and activities were diverse, and all involved her committed passion and the people around her. Her friends were many and spanned the breadth of her life, staying connected and following her expansive career as a successful artist. Her work as an artist, community organizer, fundraiser, and volunteer was extensive, and she received many honors and awards for her support of the arts and education. Molly was a member of the Portland Art Museum Education Committee, the Resource Council for LiveWire! radio
theater, and was co-founder of the Portland Brooklyn Project. While Molly was with LiveWire!, she organized a show in Pendleton, Oregon, aired on Oregon Public Broadcasting.

Molly, a dynamic social alchemist, was known for her salons, a practice that began in the year 2000, in their beautiful historic home. A gathering with food, libation, and art, the salons evolved over the years to include artists from other disciplines: musicians, poets, writers―often those who had directly influenced Molly�s work. This also turned out to be a continuation of, as Molly learned later, a family tradition that dated back to 1911, when her
great-grandmother, Mary Porter Sesnon, and her husband, William T. Sesnon, first hosted similar salons―gatherings that melded music, theatre, art, and the spoken word―at their summer home, �Pino Alto� in Santa Cruz, California. In 2018, Molly created an exhibition of her artwork, as well as a small supportive endowment, at the Mary Porter Sesnon Gallery at UCSC�s Porter College in California. The event included a salon style family reunion at �Pino Alto�, now a part of the Cabrillo College campus.

Molly�s activism was not limited to art. In a very different show of her passion, she pulled her neighborhood together to address a dangerous local traffic hazard on the corner in front of their house and, working with the city, she got the street reworked to make the neighborhood safe for its inhabitants. Later she was involved in yet another, but quite different project, the development of �ninety-nine girlfriends�, an inclusive women�s
collective giving organization that makes significant grants to fund local nonprofits.
Things came to Molly and she loved the randomness of it all. When she first moved to Portland in 1990, she unwittingly had a local grunge rock band pluck her name from the phone book to name itself and post flyers all over town. The band, �Molly Cliff�, had quite a following for a time. What are the chances of that happening to someone--anyone? Molly was an extraordinary painter and printmaker. She had recently been captivated by illustrating crows and ravens, who frequently gathered in the trees outside of her artist studio which filled the large attic of their Portland home. Her gallery, exhibiting her paintings, stands at the edge of their garden, above the family music studio. Enjoy her work online at https://www.mollycliffhilts.com/#1 or visit the Brumfield Gallery in Astoria, https://www.brumfieldgallery.com/molly-cliff-hilts.html which is featuring an exhibition by Molly through March 7th. You can also visit the Rental Sales Gallery in Portland to see Molly�s work. Her story, art, and a video interview can be seen at The Art of Connection: Interview with Portland Artist Molly Cliff Hilts Rental Sales Gallery. Her paintings have been exhibited in solo shows in New York City, Oregon, California, Washington, and Mexico, and she is represented by galleries in NYC, Philadelphia, North Carolina, and Oregon. Her work can be found in
notable collections worldwide, including the private collection of Bill and Melinda Gates.

Two weeks prior to Molly�s passing, she discovered that her painting titled �Eagle Creek� was placed in the Portland Museum of Art�s permanent collection of Northwest Art where it will live forever. This was a huge honor for Molly and a well-deserved recognition of her talents. Molly, born an artist, wore her passion on her sleeve. If nothing appeared to be happening,
she would make something happen. She had an inner drive that was powered by an innate desire to create and grow. Never complacent, there was always lots to do: artwork to create, friends to connect, young artists to mentor, and things to be done to make the world a more colorful and lively place. Near the end of her life, she had to let it all go as the pain and hardship of her illness left her very weak and frail, qualities rarely associated with Molly. But
in the end, with such grace and dignity, she allowed herself to slip away peacefully in the early hours of January 21st with her husband of 30 years by her side, holding her hand, with her faithful dog, Bear, resting nearby.

Molly is survived by her husband Dave; her two sons Wade and Dane (and Dulce); her dog, Bear: her parents, Lee and Nell Cliff; her Aunt Sue Sesnon Salt; her siblings, Daniel (and Martha), Sue aka Shanti, and Peter (and Sheila); her nephews and nieces, Will (and Ali), Janie (and Renan), Liam, Noah, Ellyn (and Nathan), Drew, and a large extended family of cousins.

Our hope is to have a post-Covid gathering in a form that is familiar to Molly and that she would love: a house and garden party with music and fun to celebrate her magnificent life and remember, �...the old laughing lady, everything is alright�. If you are moved to make a contribution as a tribute to Molly, please consider donating to the Molly Cliff Hilts Memorial Fund which provides enrichment for students in the Arts Division at UC Santa Cruz. The fund is administered by the Mary Porter Sesnon Art Gallery and will be used to benefit undergraduates pursuing a degree in art. Please visit https://connect.ucsc.edu/hiltsfund

Ivy Josephine VanEpps
May 16, 1932 � January 7, 2021

Ivy Josephine VanEpps (Bleakney) our beloved mother, grandmother and friend passed away peacefully at age 88 to the waiting arms of her devoted husband and best friend Ray on Jan 7, 2021. Born in Salem on May 16, 1932, Ivy grew up in the beautiful Silverton hills surrounded by family, and while attending high school, she met and married the love of her life. Mom and Dad moved to Valsetz in 1951 and began their journey of over 66 years full of family, friends and fun. From Valsetz they moved to Sheridan in 1984, the two went on to build a beautiful home and surroundings which they loved to share with all who came to visit. Ivy never knew a stranger. She was always there with an ear to listen, a helping hand, a little advice or passing on some of the years of her accumulative wisdom. Whether it be sewing, doing ceramics, gardening, camping, volunteering or cooking for the many gatherings of family and friends, mom loved it all and sharing with all. The love and memories will live on with all of us who were ever touched by her love and care throughout the years. Ivy is survived by son Ray VanEpps, daughter Charlotte Foster (Brad) and three granddaughters Audrey, Andrea and Hailey. Our family would like to thank the living angels of Hospice Care of the Northwest which were vital in the compassionate care of not only our dear mom, but also the selfless help they provided to our family.

Lydia Lenore Zero

November 5 1985 - January 6 2021

It is with the deepest of sorrow that the chosen family of Lydia Lenore Zero announces their passing.
Their greatest joys in life, in no particular order, were art, coffee, make up, their loved ones, clowns, and being bitter. Lydia, who also went by the nicknames Libby and Lizzie, somehow managed to exist as the kindest person in the world in the face of unnecessarily horrific struggles driven by the ableism and other problems inherent in capitalism and the white supremacy that leads the US into another Fall of Rome style finale on this season of the United States Imperialism.
After Lydia�s reduction to ash, they left behind, for now, their nesting partner and soulmate, Krystofir, their two adorable children, Walter and Paisley, their partners Inmara, Jace and Richie and many other dear friends and loved ones.

Donna Rae Tungate

December 20 1933 - December 23 2020

Donna Rae Tungate, age 87, passed away peacefully in her sleep on December 23, 2020 after a lengthy illness. She was born December 20, 1933 in Bayard, Nebraska to James and Lois (McRae) Montgomery. Donna was the next-youngest of five girls.

When Donna was nine years old, they moved to Oregon. Donna grew up in Salem, where she was raised by her �Daddy� (Bob) L.W. Straw, and her mother. Donna wasn�t quite through her senior year in high school when she met and fell in love with Richard P. (Dick) Tungate. They eventually married in September of 1958. Donna worked a variety of jobs in her lifetime. At one point in the 1960�s, she was working as a maid at the Heathman Hotel in Portland and was shocked and proud to have received a tip from Jimmy Durante for her good work. She later became an aid at Fairview Training Center in Salem, and was a charge aid there when she retired in 1990.

Donna loved road trips with her husband, and after his death in 1990, loved getting together with her sisters for road trips to the coast and across the US. She was the last remaining sister. She was an avid reader, enjoying romance and mystery stories; she enjoyed old western shows and movies, country music and loved her Merle Haggard.

Donna also loved getting together with family for annual reunions, holidays and playing 31, Yahtzee, sometimes bingo, and always Pinochle, although she famously would not let you get a bid if she thought she could make it.

Donna was the family historian; she was the go-to resource for dates anything happened, anyone�s name, birthday, how many kids (AND their names). Her memory was legend, and she in fact said she wanted someone to autopsy her brain when she was gone to find out why her memory was so good.

Donna is survived by two children, Richard (Rick) Tungate (Vicki), and Marsheela Madrigal (Eliseo), all of Salem, Oregon; three grandsons, 11 great-grandchildren, 1 great-great granddaughter and many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, four sisters, Gloria, Alvina, Leona and Beverly, husband, Dick, and sons Dickie and Timmy.

No memorial service is planned, but a celebration of life is planned for later, perhaps summer, of 2021. In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory may be made to the American Heart Association. Arrangements by City View Funeral Home.

After the wedding they drove to Manhattan Kansas where Don had a brand new �ten wide, two-bedroom� mobile home waiting for her. The beginning of mobile home living.
Don was completing his 5th year in the school of Architecture and Design at Kansas State University on the GI Bill. While there Dorothy worked at the Riley County Hospital as an OBGYN Charge Nurse. Don Graduated in the summer of 1961 and the couple moved to Salem Oregon where Dorothy took a job at the Salem Memorial Hospital as the Charge Nurse of 1st South Women�s Medical-Surgical Floor and Don had a job waiting for him in a local Architect`s office.
On March 3rd 1964 a daughter was born who sadly lived only 10 hours. After a short grieving period, Dorothy went back to work in the intensive care unit until their first son Jeffrey was born August 9th 1966. It was at that time Dorothy chose to be a stay-at-home Mom and resigned her job at Salem Hospital. One year later the couple moved to their first home without wheels in NE Salem, ending their mobile home life. Seven years later came their second son James on July 21, 1973.
Both Dorothy and Don were sports enthusiasts, Dorothy became a dedicated Portland Blazer fan. She also enjoyed pro baseball, football, and tennis. She also belonged to several bridge clubs. But golf was her calling.
Ironically one of the first couples they met in Oregon was also from Kansas. They introduced them to golf and both soon became members of the Salem Golf Club. Dorothy joined the 9-hole group first and soon became 9-hole champion then eventually moved up to the 18-hole group. She then joined OWGA and played different courses throughout Oregon.
After twenty some years of golf her score was 3 Ace�s, (Salem Golf Club # 12 & # 8, and #10 at McNary Estates), and a lifetime of memories and many wonderful friends. Not bad for a housewife and mother with two boys. Dorothy was a member of Westminster Presbyterian Church for over 20 years and was a volunteer in the Senior Lunch Group & Blood Drives. In 1977 the family built a new home in South Salem where both sons graduated from Sprague HS. In 1998 the nest had become empty and they moved into a condominium at McNary Estates in Keizer and lived there until late 2019. Due to their ages they decided to downsize and move to the senior living facility of Emerald Point in North Keizer where Don still resides.

Midge was born and raised in Salem Oregon from July 9th, 1969 until her passing on December 16th, 2020, she was 51 years old and the youngest of four children her parents Lynn and Leroy Massie had, she is survived by her only daughter Zaylla.

In her teens Midge played softball at North Salem High School and was in the graduating class of 1988.

Nothing but the best has been shared throughout the family the last few days since her passing and there are a few quotes I`d like to share to give just the smallest glimpse of who Midge really was.

�She was very dependable�, �she was there, she helped us with everything we needed no questions asked. That`s what I loved� - Cindy (sister)

�She thought of others first�, �Before you were born she would go see a movie or go camping and she would always ask if us kids wanted to go.. even if I just ran to the store for her she would say don`t forget to get yourself something� -Tessa (niece)

�Before you were born she focused on being a really great aunt she spoiled us�, �It was always easy for me to talk to her about stuff because she wasn`t that much older than me�, �Number one fact she loved her family and put family first� -Daniel (oldest nephew)

�For me it was that if you were someone she loved there was nothing she wouldn`t do for you if she could� -Tim (brother in law)

�I loved how she would find the funny in anything or how she would keep us all in the loop with all the latest gossip. She was such a funny woman, always making jokes. I`m really going to miss her laugh. She`s the aunt to go to for a good laugh�, �Best joker in the family�, �Without a doubt she was the funniest out of everyone� -Angel (great niece)

Midge was caring, full of jokes and stories, had a contagious laugh, and never failed to make people smile or help out anyways she could and we couldn`t be more proud.

Thank you for taking the time to read about my mom, Midge.

Jim A Moore

April 12 1939 - November 30 2020

Jim Moore was triumphantly carried Home to His Heavenly Father on Monday, November 30th. He had told his wife of sixty years in their last conversation, in the throes of COVID, that he had given a request to the medical staff of the ICU. �Please turn me on my back when it is time, so I am facing The Lord when He comes for me.� His death was as his life: humble and faithful.

The love he gave and received from his wife and the children who had walked so closely with him, especially during the last year, was immeasurable. The relationship with his grandchildren, to whom he was Lolo, was beautifully close.
In that last earthly conversation, he left a message for one of the great-grandchildren to explain in child terms where he was going.
His wonderful laughter, and huge smiles that filled his delightfully wrinkled face at a word or an action of a great-grand or a beloved child or grandchild... we�ll remember.

His gracious and quiet testimony touched lives in very difficult places in these last months. Several nurses who cared for him for a short while before he was hospitalized, cried at his passing.

His family and faithful friends are grateful that we were able to walk with him through this journey. And we declare, as he did in his labored voice near the end: �God is good!�

Isaiah 57:1, 2a �The righteous perish, and no one ponders it in his heart; devout men are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil. Those who walk uprightly enter into peace..�

Delbert Leland Nuttbrock

June 30 1929 - November 22 2020

Delbert Leland Nuttbrock, age 91, passed away peacefully on November 22, 2020, at his home in Milwaukie, Oregon. Against the odds, he fought 4 bouts of cancer over 25 years and one heart attack. In the end, cancer took him quietly in his sleep.
He was born the eldest of two children on June 30, 1929, in Carpenter, South Dakota, to Hazel and Hiram Nuttbrock. In the spring of 1937, he and his extended family moved to Keizer, Oregon. He met his beloved wife, Agnes Snook, of 63 years while attending Keizer School. In 1948, he graduated from Salem Academy and was married later that year. While living in Keizer, he worked a variety of jobs and as a carpenter building houses. In 1958, he was hired by PGE and moved his family to Milwaukie. He worked for PGE for 33 years, retiring in 1991. He helped to construct most of the substations in the Portland area, as well as a variety of other locations across the state. He was involved in the Boy Scouts with his 3 sons, accompanying them on hikes and snowshoe adventures. He always kept his family on the go, providing many memorable adventures of hiking, fishing, boating, water skiing, camping, snowshoeing, bicycling, crabbing, trap shooting, and trail riding, dune riding, and road riding on his many motorcycles. He passed on his passion for outdoor activities to his children and grandchildren.
Delbert was a skilled craftsman and carpenter. He could build or fix just about anything. He made numerous pairs of snowshoes for the Boy Scouts and his family. He built a rowboat, truck canopy, motorcycle trailer, cabinets, and room additions for two of his homes.
He enjoyed riding motorcycles with friends and family, making trips across the country and Canada to cycle rallies, cycle races, and places of interest. To begin his retirement, he took a 10,000 mile motorcycle ride to Florida. His favorite stretch of road was through the Florida Keys. He attended the Sacramento Mile motorcycle races so many times that his seats were saved for him every year. In 2014, he reached the momentous milestone of 1 million road miles. It was celebrated with friends and family, and of course, a motorcycle ride. He continued riding motorcycles through his 90th year. Though he thoroughly enjoyed motorcycles, his favorite adventure was flying. In the early 80�s, he flew many trips around Mount St. Helens providing views of the volcano for friends and family. Another one of his hobbies was shooting trap. For many years, he participated in trap shooting competitions and spent the winters reloading thousands of shotgun shells. In his later years, he enjoyed meeting friends and family for breakfast or coffee (�informational meetings�), taking motorcycle rides, playing cribbage, driving one of his new cars to �check on the river�, and hanging out with his cat, Sassy.
Delbert will be remembered by family and friends for his easy smile, generosity, and kindness.
Delbert is survived by his children and their spouses, Dennis and Gail Nuttbrock, Jerry and Tricia Nuttbrock, Wayne and Cindy Nuttbrock, Charlene and Lon Paulson; 10 grandchildren; 18 great-grandchildren; and 1 great-great-grandchild. He was preceded in death by his wife, Agnes Nuttbrock.

Jane Schmidt

October 12 1942 - November 21 2020

Jane Schmidt went home to be with the Lord early Saturday morning, November 21, 2020. She died from complications from Parkinson�s disease and Parkinson�s related dementia.
Jane was born in Aurora, Illinois on October 12, 1942 to N.J. and Helen (Loy) Bailey. Her father died on Okinawa, just three years later. She spent her childhood in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, with her mother and sister, Ann.
Jane met Carey Schmidt at Grace Bible Institute in Omaha, Nebraska. They married in 1964 and moved back to Carey�s home state of Oregon. They set up their home on the farms where Carey worked and went on to adopt two children, Brian, and Lori, and then had a wonderful God-sent surprise when Jane had their last child, Lisa.
Jane spent much of her life caring for her family as a �farmer�s wife� and serving her Lord at church as a piano player, choir member, and leader of the children�s Primary department for several years. As her life progressed, she took on more behind-the-scenes roles, supporting her husband and children in their life and work. Crafting, among other things, became a way for her to express her care for people throughout her vast network of friends and family.
Jane is survived by her husband, and her three children; her sister, Ann; her grandchildren, Austin, Taylor, Emily and Matthew; and greatgrandchildren, Noah, Marley, Emma, and Booker; plus her brother-in-law, Jim; sister-in-law, Judy; nephews, nieces, their children and spouses and other extended family.

Margaret Sue Taylor

May 30 1941 - November 15 2020

Margaret Sue Taylor passed away at her home on November 15, 2020. She spent her final weeks surrounded by family and sharing what she lovingly referred to as �bucketloads of happy memories.�

Sue was born in Memphis, Tennessee in May of 1941. She graduated high school at the age of 16, and pursued a nursing degree from Methodist Hospital Nursing School. She was a young nursing student when she met her soulmate and lifelong best friend, Bob Taylor. Nursing students were not allowed to marry at the time, so three months prior to graduation, the couple successfully petitioned a review board for approval of their modest wedding ceremony. The board made the right choice: they approved the nuptials, and on June 17, 1961 Bob and Sue Taylor were married. Their marriage lasted 59 beautiful years.

After her graduation from nursing school, Sue worked at Le Bonheur Children�s Hospital in Memphis while Bob finished medical school. After his graduation, the couple moved to Ogden, Utah where Sue worked as an OBGYN nurse and Bob completed an internship. They relocated a second time to Fort Wadsworth on Staten Island, New York when Bob enlisted in the U.S. Army, where they were stationed for two years.

It was in New York City that Sue�s true calling was realized: she became a mother. Bob and Sue started their family on the East Coast and completed it on the West Coast. In 1965 they loaded their 18-month-old son and 6-month-old daughter into a Volkswagen Beetle and drove across the country to Cottage Grove, Oregon. It was there that they celebrated the birth of two more daughters. Sue happily became a stay-at-home mother to her four children.

Sue cherished every phase of parenthood. She was a baby-whisperer who snuggled infants. She was a 4H mom who taught her children the joy and wonders of hard work. She was a community organizer who orchestrated safe high school graduation celebrations, even when it meant staying up all night long. Whatever the event, her children had a personal cheerleader in the stands. Sue was a constant and consistent presence at every moment of their lives.

And yet, she knew when to let go.

She expected her children to travel, study abroad, and live life to its fullest. Sue had a natural sense of curiosity and adventure, and instilled both in her children. She modeled hard work, generosity, kindness, and loyalty, and expected the same in return. As long as her children held up that end of the bargain, she gave them great freedom to grow into their own unique individuals.

Sue was the family�s commander-in-chief and did the job well. After dinner each night Bob and Sue would retire to the living room, where they enjoyed conversations over the newspaper. They were both strong, opinionated individuals who were able to listen and occasionally disagree thanks to their deep and mutual respect for each other. They planned trips and traveled the world together. They remained best friends until the end, and their chatter never stopped.

While raising four children in the 1970�s, Sue served on the Lane County Medical Auxiliary Board, which was a strong force in establishing the Ronald McDonald house adjacent to OHSU in Portland, Oregon. In the 1980�s Sue returned to nursing in Cottage Grove. In the 1990�s Sue worked as a risk management consultant for a medical liability insurance company in Salem, Oregon. Sue was innovative, informed, and interested in current events and pop culture, and was passionate about social justice. She was an avid reader who never stopped learning and growing.

In addition to being a loving wife and devoted mother, Sue was also a gifted artist. She had a keen, observant eye for detail and beauty, and always paused to appreciate little miracles. She spent hours scouring the beach for perfectly imperfect shells. She loved the magical effect twilight cast on trees. These careful observations transferred to her art. She was primarily a painter, but she also dabbled in many other creative outlets.

She was the grandma who always had a pocketful of colored pencils and loved to share her creativity with others. Her grandchildren gave her great pride, and she made it a point to take each of them on special adventures. She was always up for fun, whether it was a cross country RV excursion or heading out to a midnight movie.

Of all her many accomplishments, Sue�s greatest pride and legacy are her family. Her son carries her smile, which was always shared freely. Her daughters carry her joyous laughter, which always filled the room. Her grandchildren carry her stories. And her husband will forever hold her heart. Sue loved her family fiercely and unconditionally, and they all deeply mourn the loss of their special family matriarch.

Sue�s immediate family includes her husband, Bob; son Ken and his wife Cindy Taylor and their children Alex and Tyler Sedlacek, Hannah Taylor, and Lauren Taylor; daughter Terri and her husband Jim Raudenbush and their daughters Halie and Paige; daughter Nancy Boxler (and her recently deceased husband Steve) and their daughter Lia; daughter Carol and her husband Phillip Blea and their children Taylor and Bella.

Arrangements were made at City View Funeral Home & Cemetery. A small ceremony for the immediate family will be held in the near future to spread Sue`s ashes and celebrate her life.

December 31 1924 - November 11 2020

Rodney Ross Miles, 95, a lifetime resident of Salem, passed away of natural causes on November 11th, 2020.

Rod retired in 1989 after 30 years as Circulation Manager with the Statesman Journal newspaper. He managed and taught hundreds of kids the value of hard work through their paper routes and how to manage their money. Nothing made Rod happier than seeing those very kids grow-up to be successful and many of them thanked Rod years later.

Rod was active with the Salem Downtown Association, The Presbyterian Church, Kiwanis, assisting Governor Tom McCall in Youth employment activities, the Pacific Northwest International Circulation Managers Association, and was a member of the Statesman-Journal Editorial Board. He was a leader in bringing people together for positive outcomes and thoroughly enjoyed adding his energy to creating improvement. He could be seen at the State Capitol working for kids or at the annual lighting of the Salem Christmas tree. If it involved families, Rod was an enthusiastic partner and always with his easy smile.

Family was everything to Rod. As a loving husband, father, brother, son, grandfather and great grandfather, nothing made him happier than his family time. He also had a great interest in engineering and anything mechanical especially engines of all sizes. If it didn�t run, he was going to get it running and he shared his hobby with all four sons and many grandkids who can be seen driving handmade cars built by Rod through the years.

He is survived by his wife, Eleanor, and their four sons, Terry (Gayna), Mike (Sandra), Rod (Corby) and Greg (Cherri), eight grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren, and brother, Ward, of Washington.

JoAnne Elizabeth Olsen

August 25 1928 - June 2 2020

Our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, aunt and friend, JoAnne Elizabeth Olsen, passed away this summer after several bouts with pneumonia and other ailments incident to age. We are thankful she was able to be home, with the loving care of her daughters until the end.

JoAnne was born in Lansing, Michigan to Milton A. and H. Ruth Van de Vusse Grover. She spent her youth in Michigan with her parents, brother Jack, and many extended family members around Lansing, Holland and the farm near Big Rapids where she fondly remembered sleeping on a straw mattress.

JoAnne spent much of her free time pursuing her singing abilities. She was a prize student of Dr. Fred Patton from The Met. She often remembered traveling by train down to Detroit for lessons and soaking up the glorious musical talents of all the students chosen to participate in the music conservatory. She had an amazing God-given operatic talent. From a young age she was the paid soloist at a local church every Sunday, which allowed her to afford her lessons, and she sang at all the local weddings.

JoAnne met the love of her life, Sverre Pryser Olsen, a native of Norway, at Michigan State University. They were married in 1951 in Oslo, Norway where she became fluent in Norwegian. They spent two years there before returning to Michigan where two daughters, Anne-Lise and Kristin were born. In 1960 the family moved to Muskegon where JoAnne and Sverre met Bob and Margaret Van Dyke. The families had many happy adventures playing golf at Pontaluna Golf Club and sailing at the Muskegon Yacht Club. In the early 1970s the family moved to Salt Lake City where Mom took up skiing again and then in the early 1990s moved to Oregon. Mom was multi-talented as she excelled in English, home decorating, watercolor painting, and gardening. But nothing brought her more happiness than her family.

Her later years brought sadness with the death of her husband of 63 years and the death of her childhood friend, Mary Lou Sessions Ogletree, but much happiness with her children and grandchildren.

JoAnne was preceded in death by her parents, husband, brother Jack, sister-in-law Alice and nephew Steve. She is survived by daughters Anne-Lise Olsen and Kristin Olsen Thompson, son-in-law Thomas Thompson, grandchildren Anne Elizabeth and Peter Andrew Thompson and nephew Robert Grover. We miss her so very much but we know she is in heaven with Christ and we will see her again.

We want to thank the nurses and staff of Serenity Hospice for the care she received during her final days at home. Services are pending. Internment at City View Cemetery, Salem Oregon.

Jenny was able to pursue her passions including crossword puzzles, reading, stained glass, and other crafts. She took pleasure in spending time with her family, friends, and meeting new people.

Eva �Lu� (Kilham) Pope passed away peacefully at Capital Manor on January 31, 2020, in Salem, Oregon, surrounded by her family. She was born on February 2, 1919 in Spokane, Washington.

Lu was the most positive, strongest, sweetest, and kindest mother, grandmother, wife, and friend anywhere.

She witnessed and endured a lot during her long life, including women�s suffrage, the Great Depression, and World War II, but, as she always said cheerfully, �We always survived.� Although she was born long before the Internet, she enjoyed using her computer for email and to play scrabble with family and friends. She married John Grimmer Groom in 1940, and they were married for over twenty years and raised three children. In 1980 she married Joseph Pope, and they remained happily married until his death in 2011. In addition to Spokane, she lived in Eugene, Pendleton, and Salem in Oregon. She enjoyed reading, baking, sewing, traveling, spending time with family and friends, and keeping the perfect home. She was a dedicated member of Westminster Presbyterian Church in Salem since 1968, worked as the church secretary and sang in the choir for many years.

Nasha A. Russell

May 6 1945 - December 8 2019

Nasha A. Russell (n�e Rygas) was born on May 6th, 1945 in East Chicago, Indiana. She attended Purdue University, where she met the man who would become her husband for 52 years. The couple were married at Garrett Chapel overlooking Keuka Lake in 1967, and then moved to Ann Arbor to finish their studies at the University of Michigan. After graduation the couple moved to Colorado, where they returned in 1977 after spending time in Nova Scotia, Canada. After 14 years total in Fort Collins, Colorado the Russell family moved to Salem, Oregon in 1988. She devoted her life to her four children, in ways that the word housewife could not possibly honor. As her nest began to empty, she took her love of children and her desire to envelope them in the magic of music, literature, and all forms of learning and became an elementary school teacher for Salem-Keizer finishing her career at Hayesville Elementary School teaching the second grade. Her retirement coincided with the arrival of the first of her three grandchildren, who were fortunate enough to feel the warmth of her light in their lives from their very first moments of existence until the very last moment of hers. Nasha passed peacefully in her home on Sunday morning December 8th. She was preceded in death by her father Stanley, her mother Lucille, and her sister Lida. She is survived by her husband Jim, her sister Jana, her brother Joe, her four children: Alex, Annalise, Josha, and Amelia, her daughters-in-law Lori and Niven, and her grandchildren: Bennett, Lainey, and Nanki. Christmas was the one time a year when the world briefly lived up to her capacity for selflessness, joy, and wonder � it will be impossible to experience that as fully without her.

Anne S. Jeffers

October 16 1928 - December 6 2019

Anne Wilson Swearingen Jeffers of Salem, Oregon went home to be with the Lord on December 6, 2019. She was 91.
Born in Detroit, MI on October 16, 1928 to Van and Minnie Swearingen, Anne and her sisters Helen, Nancy, and Doris grew up in Michigan. After high school she chose to go all the way to the west coast for college�whether for adventure or to escape the frozen winters we�ll never know. In any event the choice was providential. At Western Baptist Bible College in Oakland, CA she met a young Marine, Adrian Jeffers. Impatient for wedded bliss, they raced off to Reno, Nevada mid-semester to be married on April 13,1950. Anne completed her undergraduate work at Piedmont Bible College in Winston-Salem, NC and Grace College, Winona Lake, IN, while bringing life to her four children. She earned a Master of Arts degree from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, and worked in elementary education as a teacher, principal, and regional consultant.
In the early 1970s, the family moved to Salem where Anne returned to Western Baptist Bible College (now Corban University), but this time serving on staff as Dean of Women, Dean of Students, and Director of Career Services. She completed her career at Corban as an assistant professor of upper division Bible and Ministry classes; retiring at age 85 after more than 40 years of service.
Anne was a popular speaker for workshops, retreats, and conferences throughout the Pacific Northwest and Canada. As a speaker, she described her legacy simply : (1.) God made me (Psalm 139:13-16); (2.) God loves me (John 3:16); and (3.) God has a plan for my life (Jer. 29:11).
Anne, with Adrian, attended Bethany Baptist Church for 50 years, helping build the church, singing duets together and as part of the choir, teaching Sunday school, and providing leadership for women�s ministries. She loved Jesus, family, and mentoring young people. One of her greatest joys was touching the lives of students. Anne recently said, `My passion is for every young woman I`m in contact with to know that they are gifted by God. It`s important to know that you are gifted.` She mentored with wisdom and joy.
Anne was well-know for her hospitality, serving southern chili and cornbread, followed by her famous $100 brownies and Russian teacakes. She loved to shop. Even when she couldn�t get around easily, she was always ready for a shopping expedition. She loved music and taught herself to play the acoustic guitar for personal accompaniment. Anne started cross-country skiing late in life. She enjoyed ski adventures with friends, although she described her style as more of a getting-up-after-falling than moving forward smoothly. Reading was Anne�s favorite pastime. She almost always was in the middle of multiple books at the same time. Hard-core readers protested when she explained that she had to read the end of a murder mystery first, so she could enjoy it without fretting about how it would turn out.
Anne is survived by sisters Nancy Dugas and Doris (Don) Jennings; Adrian, her husband of 69 years; and their four children: Beth Hope, Rockaway Beach, OR; Dawn (Desi) Villaescusa, Lincoln City, OR; Tim (Deb) Jeffers, Ooltewah, TN; and Joel (Kaylene) Jeffers, Ontario, CA. Anne was preceded in death by her eldest sister, Helen Sanford.
Anne�s 12 grandchildren are: Jessica (deceased), Esther, and Bethany Stanford; Emily, Mark, and Jennifer Hills; Daniel, David, and Joseph Jeffers; and Nathan, Rachel, and Aaron Jeffers. Her 12 great-grandchildren are: Katy Daley, Tristan Hills, and Lain, Kate, Adrian, Griffin, Elijah, Ezra, Logan, Malcolm, Emmeleia, and Annika Jeffers.
The Celebration of Anne`s life is scheduled for Saturday, January 11, 2020 at Bethany Baptist Church, Salem.
Memorial gifts can be made in Anne`s name to Corban University, 5000 Deer Park Drive SE, Salem, OR 97317, https://pushpay.com/g/corban.

That same year, Jordan was fortunate enough to gain a second father in her life when her mother met and later married Tony Miller in September 2002. She also had the advantage of gaining a wonderful stepmother when her father married Abbi Shultz in July 2004. Jordan attended school in Silverton throughout her life. Studies came easily to her and she was known by her teachers as someone that was �overly social.� That�s the polite way of saying she talked too much! Jordan also loved dance and was very involved in roller skating competitions throughout her life. She graduated from Silverton High School with honors in 2017. After high school Jordan enrolled at Western Oregon University, majoring in early education with a specialization in special ed. Jordan�s passions were often centered around her younger brother, Dakota, who was diagnosed with autism at the age of two. She was always protective of her little buddy and wanted to learn everything there was to know to help him. This great care for her sibling led her to her lifelong desire to help children with special needs. Another great love in Jordan�s life is anything �Disney.� Her first trip to Disneyland was when she was 6 months old and since then, she has been to Disneyland or Disney World a total of 9 times. Jordan was also a part of the Oaks Park Roller Club and competed in multiple national events. She and her partner took 3rd place in the Nationals in 2019. One of her skating partners was her younger brother, Xander. They performed in numerous shows together and this was a special bond they shared together. Jordan also shared a special bond with her sister, Savanna. As is often the case, it depended on the day as to whether you would witness great doses of love or hatred being shared between the two of them, but the intense protection of one another was always present. Jordan is survived by her parents MaryAnne (Tony) Miller of Silverton and Bill (Abbigail) Hess of Clackamas. Her siblings are Savanna Corbin of Salem, Dakota Miller of Silverton, and Xander Hess of Clackamas Her surviving grandparents are Patty Hoppe of Portland, Paul Hoppe of Salem, William Sr (Cheryl) Hess of Roseburg, Dave (Mary) Miller of Silverton, Chris (Keith) Relf of Keizer, Barbara (Milton) Shultz of Tri-Cities, WA.

Max J Klotz

December 12 1934 - November 16 2019

Max J. Klotz, husband, father of two sons, died on Saturday, November 16, 2019 at Royalton Place Memory Care in Milwaukie, Oregon, at the age of 84.
Max was born on December 12, 1934 in Idaho Falls, Idaho to parents Walter and Luella Klotz. Max�s father Walter was an early airport tower operator (what would now be an Air Traffic Controller) for the CAA (Civil Aeronautics Administration � the forerunner to the current FAA), which meant that Max�s early childhood would be spent moving among several cities in Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and elsewhere.
Max attended Salem High School, where he met Katherine Singer. A few years later, they would marry at the First United Methodist Church in Salem. Immediately after High School, Max joined the Oregon State Highway Department. In those early days of his career, Max crawled through brambles and bushes while surveying for the construction of Highway 217 in Beaverton and Tigard, and spent long, wet days and nights on the Oregon Coast, clearing mudslides and maintaining coastal access roads, as well as Oregon Coast Highway 101.
1957 and 1961 brought sons Sheldon & Steven to the family. During the 1960�s, Max worked during the day and attended �night school� in the evenings, eventually earning his degree in Civil Engineering. As a result of his hard work and ambition, the next couple of decades would see the family moving from Salem to Corvallis, back to Salem, to Portland, and back to Salem again, as Max was promoted from position to position. The Oregon Highway Department became the Oregon Highway Division, and eventually, the Oregon Department of Transportation, and Max played key roles in the maintenance and improvement of existing highways throughout Western Oregon, as well as the construction of Interstate 205 and the Fremont Bridge lift, and was part of the transitional team away from the ill-fated Mount Hood Freeway and into the creation of the MAX (no relation) Light Rail system, focusing ODOT less on �highway� solutions and more toward �system� solutions. Later, Max would serve in more executive positions, including as a Special Liaison on statewide transportation issues to the Oregon Legislature, and as the head of the Weighmaster Division.
Max also evolved through a number of different hobbies and interests. Being in the top 1% of Mensa members, Max was always full of curiosity and ideas. In the early-1960�s Max handcrafted a fiberglass tri-hull ski boat that the family used for many years, and led his two sons in 1967 in the building of a console Color TV set from individual components. Over the years of his career, Max also enjoyed winemaking, cheese making, woodworking, metalworking, creating and solving physical and mental puzzles, and reading Science Fiction and Mysteries, as well as the latest Peanuts, Pogo, BC or Wizard of Id books. In addition, Max loved every animal that he�d ever met � from his first horse back in Idaho as a child, to the family cat from the late 1970�s until 1990, who was his best friend. Max also learned to keep a box and towels in the trunk of his State Car because, once, while inspecting sanding materials at a remote storage site, he heard a very weak �meowing� in the distance, and had to rescue an injured and abandoned kitten stuck in blackberry bushes, who he wrapped in towels, put in the box and brought home to care for.
During his career, one of Max�s goals was to travel, and he and his wife saved up money all of their lives to do so. After he retired, Max and Kathy took numerous 5-week road trips (always in a brand-new Honda or Acura) visiting all 50 states, as well as visiting 41 countries in the Americas, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. In addition, for more than 15 years, Max and Kathy would spend 2 weeks each January at Walt Disney World in Florida.
Max believed that the keys to living a good, happy and successful life were to always keep an open mind, always keep learning, and to always respect others.
Max was preceded in death by his wife Katherine and his son Sheldon. He is survived by his son Steven and his Granddaughter Jennifer.
A Memorial for Max Klotz will be held at CityView Funeral Home and Cemetery in Salem on Saturday, December 14 at 10:00am.

Gregory Lee Hicks

September 22 1951 - October 19 2019

Born September 22, 1951 to Russ and Vi Hicks. Greg was raised in Salem where he helped on his dad�s dairy farm, west of town. He was a huge help to his dad, whether it was milking cows, planting crops, bailing hay or all the other needs on a large dairy.

He graduated high school from Salem Academy where he met Judy, his wife to be. He attended Northwest Nazarene College and then attended seminary in Kansas City where he earned his Doctorate in Ministry. Greg and Judy had 2 daughters, Jennifer and Christina. Greg felt a huge calling to be a pastor early on in his life. Greg loved the Lord with all his might, serving in churches in Florida, Western Washington, and Alaska. Greg ministered in any way he could at his churches, always reaching out to families outside of his church, showing compassion and witnessing his love of Jesus to all. When Greg�s sister Valarie passed away, he took in her son, Regie to help raise him for a period of time. Greg moved back to Salem in the late 90�s where he became an associate pastor at Oak Park Church of God, with his wife Judy.

Greg also worked at his mom�s flower shop, Pembertons�s Florist, as a bookkeeper and advise giver, along with all of his jokes. Greg had a wonderful voice and ministered with music every chance he had. He belonged to Salem Singers, and was in several quartets singing about his Lord. Then when he became very ill and was hospitalized for several months. The doctors and nurses gave him no chance of survival. Then when his Church family and his own family started to pray, the doctors said it was a miracle he survived. It didn�t stop him from ministering in the meantime to all the hospital staff where he saw some of their lives being saved. His wife Judy spent countless weeks with Greg, staying by his side at the hospital. She was a blessing to him.

Last Friday night Greg went to sleep and woke up Saturday in Heaven, our great loss but Heaven�s huge gain. His father passed away this last June and we know they are together with 2 of his sisters, Valarie and Lori Sue. We will truly miss our Greg. His love for our Lord was unmeasurable. His love for his family, his church, and the hundreds of people he witnessed was also unmeasurable. But we know we will see him again in Heaven. Glory be to God.

Greg is survived by his wife, Judy; daughters Jennifer, granddaughters, Brianna (Husband Matt), Savannah; Christina (husband Hunter), granddaughter Emma and grandson Joshua; mother Vi, and sister Patti (husband Mitch) and all the nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins.

Gertrude Elizabeth Merrill

February 14 1918 - August 25 2019

Gertrude Elizabeth Merrill was born February 14, 1918, to German immigrants, Rudolph and Lisel (nee Rullman) Horsch, in a farmhouse near Aberdeen in southern Idaho. It was what she called �a waste-howling wilderness,� citing a verse in Deuteronomy. The third of five children, English was her second language. German was spoken exclusively in the home � her parents had scarcely been in the United States for six years. She was graduated from Aberdeen High School in 1936, and shortly thereafter left for Los Angeles to attend BIOLA, pursuing studies in Bible and Christian Education. It was there that she met Richard Merrill. She later followed him to Alberta, Canada, where he was enrolled in biblical studies, and they were married in 1943. She quickly moved into the role that would identify her for many years: Pastor�s wife-In this role, she was president of Women�s Prayer Fellowships, ran Sunday schools, organized Vacation Bible Schools, taught Sunday school, played the piano, entertained parishioners at home, and more. She played this role in a variety of locations in Western Canada, including Saskatoon, Victoria and Regina for more than ten years, before returning to the States in 1956.

Late in life, she wrote a brief history of her life called �Armchair Memories� in which she recounted her family�s history and the challenges and blessings God had brought her way over the years. She reflected fondly about family life on the sagebrush prairies of Idaho, and her relationship with her four siblings, Walter, Rudy, Paula and Albert � all deceased.

Although born as Gertrude, she was always known as Elizabeth, or �Betty.� She was a woman of a mighty and powerful faith, and always expressed gratitude for even the smallest blessing that came her way. Her knowledge of the Bible was encyclopedic, and she could recite chapter and verse of countless passages from Genesis to Revelation. At the age of 96, she recited Bible verses beginning with every letter of the alphabet, a recorded performance that is still live on YouTube.

The last thirteen years of her life were spent at Lancaster Village in Salem, Oregon, where she was lovingly attended by the staff. She enjoyed receiving regular visitors Diane Colbath, Linda Hammer, Yvonne Thiessen and Vicky Crawford. She did not fear death, for she knew that when she drew her last breath, she would be escorted by the angels into the presence of her Lord. And those who knew her, also know that the first words she heard were �Well done, thou good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of your reward.�

She is survived by two children, Timothy (Jeannie) Merrill of Shanghai, China; and Lois (Keith) Meerdink of Salem, Oregon. She had five grandchildren, Danielle Goodwin, Jonathan Merrill, Anita Chiddix, Deborah Merrill and Katie Dwyer. She had nine great-grandchildren: Alexander Donahue, Hannah Merrill, Destiny Donahue, Lydia Merrill, Makenna Donahue, Wesley Merrill, Acacia Merrill, Asher Chiddix and Alexa Chiddix. She had two great-great grandchildren: Eva Goodwin, and Lily Goodwin.

�I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing� (2 Timothy 4:7-8).

Arlyce (Peggy) Burke

April 18 1931 - June 30 2019

Arlyce `Peggy` Burke
April 18, 1931- June 30, 2019

Arlyce Janet Klampe was born to Orville and Gladys Klampe in Clark, South Dakota on April 18, 1931. Her midwife named her Peggy, which she went by throughout most of her life.
In 1937 along with her older brother Verle her parents moved to Lake Labish to farm onions. After settling in Oregon four more siblings were born. While attending Hazel Green school Peggy helped on the farm and cared for her twin brothers Maurice and Marvin and the little ones Nyles and Loren.
After graduating from Salem High School Peggy met Frank Burke on a blind date. They soon married on August 25, 1949 raising their children Douglas and Pamela in south Salem. The family spent many weekends camping in central Oregon and Detroit Lake. Frank and Peggy were members of the North Santiam Sportsman Club where they camped, boated and fished with many of their lifelong friends. �Arlyce Lake� in central Oregon was named for her.
Always a lady, Arlyce fittingly sold Avon in the 60�s and 70�s. However it was her inner beauty that shined through. In her unwavering positive way she made every effort to be the peacemaker. By example Peggy taught us compassion, dignity, and gratitude; traits that we will carry on in her honor.
Peg was a skilled homemaker and seamstress, and grew beautiful roses. She was a dedicated friend and a wonderful neighbor to many in the Laurel Springs and Battlecreek neighborhoods. Peg was a member of the OSU Extension Service and South Salem Seniors.
After Frank�s retirement they made several trips across the U.S. in their RV and traveled to Mexico, Canada, Hawaii and the Oregon coast. They enjoyed taking the grandchildren camping and fishing. Grandma Peggy will be remembered for her delicious fried chicken and picking raspberries, blueberries and cucumbers in her immaculate garden. She also made the perfect grilled cheese sandwich, cut in 1/4ths, diagonally, just the way kids like.
As Peggy�s dementia progressed she decided to go by her given name Arlyce. With Frank by her side, she showed us how to be strong in accepting her destiny.
She was preceded in death by Frank M. Burke her husband of 68 years, all of her siblings, and an older sister Carolyn who died as a baby.
Arlyce leaves behind her son Douglas & wife Donna Burke of Ventura, CA; daughter Pamela & husband Vaughn Berger of Salem, OR; grandchildren Emrance Berger, Spencer Burke, Kyla & husband Evan Smith; and great-grandson EmRance Michael Smith. She was known as Aunt Peggy to several nieces and nephews.
A heartfelt thank you (& a hug around the neck) to the Meadow Creek community, Willamette Valley Hospice, Kelley at Senior One Source, and all the caregivers, family and friends that helped guide Arlyce through her final journey.
The love that she is will always be in the hearts of those who love her.
A gathering in honor of Frank and Peggy will be held this fall. Please email frankandpeggyburke@gmail.com for information.

Timothy Ray Allen

September 3 1973 - June 14 2019

Tim Ray Allen, 45, was tragically taken from us much too soon from a house fire on June, 14, 2019. Please join his family in celebrating his life by sharing memories, BBQ, soft drinks and desert on Sunday, July 14th from 1 to 3 pm at 1313 Mill St Se, Salem, 97301, on the 3rd floor of the Mill Building.
Tim was born into the loving arms of his parents Dennis & Kathie Allen in Salem, OR on Sept 3, 1973. The Allen family grew to include his younger brothers David and Jesse. Tim spent most of his life living in the Jan Ree area, attended Hayesville Elementary, Waldo Middle School and McKay High School where he graduated from in 1991. He was in the Boy Scouts in his early years and played basketball and football through high school. While attending Chemeketa Community College in 1995, he met and fell in love with his wife Jessica and daughter Alicia. In 2002 and 2003, Tim�s other two daughters, Araya Sunshine and Autumn Sky, were born literally into his strong hands!
Tim is remembered by and was an influence to most of those that had the pleasure to know him, including co-workers. He began working when he was 15 years old, riding his bike to work at Taco Bell. He then worked at Foot Locker in the Lancaster Mall and Northwest Door & Supply with his Dad and brothers. Tim was employed at Kal Kustom for 10 years where he ultimately managed the upholstery department. The interior of every Reinell ski boat built during this time includes some of his handiwork. Tim later worked at R&R Tree Service and then opened his own landscaping maintenance business. During this time he built many fences that currently exist in and around our community. Through all of this, Tim acquired numerous skills that he most often applied to caring for his top priorities; family, home and friends.
Tim�s greatest pride is his 3 daughters; he was an extremely involved parent and always made their well-being #1 priority. When Araya and Autumn were newborns, he got up with them every other night to evenly share in caring for them. He attended just about every single one of the girls� endless number of concerts, games, conferences, trips to the doctor and all other happenings in their life. His loud voice from the sidelines was always supportive, never critical. He is their hero, their teacher, their loving father and gave the greatest hugs!
Tim had a love for the outdoors that grew from the time he was a baby. Some of his best memories were created at Lake Merwin, Lake Billy Chinook, hunting with Dad and brothers in Christmas Valley, in Detroit Lake area, in Jefferson Park and on the Pacific Crest Trail. One trip at a time, Tim eventually hiked from Pamelia Lake to the State of Washington (well over 100 miles!) on the PCT as well as dozens of miles in the Three Sisters Wilderness area.
Tim had a precision to detail that resulted in perfection and was extremely creative. He applied these talents to making many items for loved ones and home whether it be bird houses, couch pillows, dog kennel, cat scratcher or wishing well planter for his mother. His family will claim that he had the straightest lines!
Tim had an appreciation for all living things; some of his favorites being his dogs, his snake Guido and his gardens. His tomatoes and sunflowers would grow twice as tall as he (6�3�)! When his youngest daughters were in middle school, he grew corn and sunflowers in the front yard that he would later use in addition to the garage to build a haunted house for trick-or-treaters. Hundreds of children were terrified and mesmerized by this large scary man with a chainsaw on Halloween!
Tim�s loved ones have countless memories of priceless moments spent with him. There were vacations to Kansas, Reno, Maui, Virginia/D.C., Las Vegas, Disneyland, Knott�s Berry Farm, Universal Studios, Six Flags and Silverwood. Times spent camping, hunting, backpacking, on the beach, playing in the snow, dying Easter eggs, putting up Christmas lights, barbequing his famous steaks, making jelly, working on school projects, annual visits to pumpkin patches, Christmas tree farms and so much more!
Tim was a fan of the Oregon Ducks and enjoyed numerous games with many of his family members. He had a love for music and attended a very large number of rock concerts, some of his favorites being Metallica, Floater, Ozzfests and Rockfests. He had a blast attending the annual Oregon Country Fair and was an explorer that would be overjoyed by finding the next view point. He also loved to play pool and was very good at it!
Tim can be described as a respectful, kind, generous, protective and passionate person. He would go over and beyond to assist those that asked and even those that didn�t. If a car was stranded, he would pull over to help. If the street drainage in the neighborhood was plugged, he would clear it. If someone needed help with lifting, opening or retrieving something high, he would take care of it. He was a great man to have by your side!
Tim is proceeded in death by; grandparents Bud & Evelyn Allen and Pauline & Jesse Thomas. He is survived by; parents Dennis & Kathie Allen; brothers David (wife Amber) and Jesse; daughters Alicia (husband Michael), Araya and Autumn; 2 nieces; 5 nephews; 3 grandchildren and hundreds of other extended family members.
Tim will be remembered by his beautiful blue eyes and gorgeous smile that could light up any room and by the many lessons he taught that will continue to be taught for generations to come. He will forever be in our hearts!

Donna Mae Wolfe

July 22 1938 - March 11 2019

Monday March 11, 2019, Donna Mae Wolfe of Keizer went home to be with her Heavenly Father at the age of 80. Donna was born on July 22nd, 1938, in Hood River, Oregon to Malcolm and Grace MacKinnon. She married Pat Wilson on October 15, 1954, and that union created four beautiful children; a son, Joseph, and three daughters, Debbie, Joyce, and Diana.
After finishing her education, she went to work for The State of Oregon. Her role helping families in need was a perfect fit for her soft heart and care giving nature. Her warmth and compassion combined helped her thrive in this position. Her nurturing character lead her to being affectionately referred to as `Mom` by many. After many years of service to The State of Oregon, Donna retired in 2000.

Later in life, she was given a second chance at love. On December 16, 1985, she married Hugh Wolfe, and gained three bonus children; Larry, Mike, and Lynne. In her younger years, Donna was active in groups and leagues for bowling, darts, and billiards. Donna had a fun-loving spirit and also enjoyed rollerskating, and never turned down an opportunity to dance. During her loving marriage to Hugh, she would often join him fishing. Although it was his passion, definitely not hers, she was always pleased to be by Hugh`s side. As she grew older, she enjoyed more quiet activities including needlepoint and crosswords. But most of all, she found joy and relaxation through coloring, while cuddling with her beloved dog, Scamper. Donna loved the color blue, and anything sparkly, quirky and fun. She had a large collection of what she lovingly referred to as her `knick-knacks`.

Donna deeply cherished and valued family. She was preceded in death by her only son, Joseph, and her beloved husband, Hugh Wolfe. She is survived by her three daughters; Debbie, Joyce and Diana, and her bonus children; Larry, Mike and Lynne. She is also survived by a sister, Linda, and a brother, Lee.

She had the joy of having eleven grandchildren. She was also blessed with eleven great-grandchildren ranging in ages of nearly twenty to just a few weeks old.

Donna lived a full and happy life, and held her faith in God near and dear to her heart always. She will be remembered for her gentle, child-like spirit, and an innate ability to always see the good in everyone.

Funeral service will be 2:15 pm Sunday, March 17, 2019 at City View Funeral Home.

Stanley Victor Pietrucki Jr.

May 26 1940 - February 26 2019

On Tuesday, February 26, 2019, Stan Pietrucki passed peacefully while sleeping, as a result of complications from dementia. He was in his home, surrounded by four generations of family.
Stan was born in Queens, NY to Stanley V Pietrucki, Sr and Isabella M (Gasero) Pietrucki, on May 26, 1940. When he was 18 months of age, his parents divorced and his father retained custody. Stan was raised by his Polish grandparents until he was 8 years old, while his father served in the Army. In 1948, Stan Sr remarried and Elizabeth became the Mom young Stan would come to know and love for the remainder of both their lives.
Stan met his high school sweetheart, Patricia, while they both attended high school in Wurtzburg, Germany. After returning to the States and (a second) high school graduation, Stan enlisted in the US Air Force. and was stationed at March Air Force Base at Riverside, CA. He and Patricia married and by the end of 1962, with a wife and two small children, Stan opted for a second tour of service and the family moved north to Travis Air Force Base at Fairfield, CA.
Stan spent eight years in service to our country and was honorably discharged in June of 1967. Acknowledging his love for all things wooden combined with his passion for the water, he secured a job in Vallejo, CA, repairing boats by day while building his own small sailboat in evenings and on weekends.
In 1970, with the encouragement of his employer, Stan broke out on his own and opened his first place of business, Woodcraft Unlimited, in the small town of Suisun City, CA. He was a master craftsman building everything from small pieces of furniture to custom cabinets to six foot high, redwood water wheels. It appeared he could craft or build anything he set his mind to. As one friend later said, he was �a magician with wood�.
Three years later, Stan closed Woodcraft, moved across the driveway and opened The Schooner, a retail ships chandlery where a person could buy anything needed to build a fiberglass boat from scratch. The existence of The Schooner was purely practical as Stans love was for wood. In keeping true to his passion, there was a placard near the door which read, `If God wanted us to have fiberglass boats, He would have made fiberbglass trees!`
From the time he was a small boy, Stan carried a life long dream of building and owning a sailing vessel large enough to sail the ocean. Commencing with a set of blueprints purchased from a Nova Scotia ship builder, Stan set about building a 60 ft, wooden hulled, gaff rigged schooner which would later be christened the `Witch of Wood`. Once he began the project in 1972, it captured and held his attention until the end of his life.
Again, working evenings and weekends, Stan built the Witch of Wood out behind The Schooner along the banks of the Suisun City slough. After she was launched and once she was maneuverable, he would perform reenactmentss of mock �battles� between the Americans and the British complete with canon fire and sailors plunging from the rigging into the water; he sailed her out the Golden Gate Bridge, down the coast of California, through the Panama canal, across the Gulf of Mexico and up the east coast of Florida. And then back to the San Francisco bay area. Dressed in full pirate garb, he and the Witch took part in pirate festivals up and down the pacific coast, for over a period of 20 years.
With 8 live canon of various sizes on board, the Witch of Wood remains to be the only privately owned, armed, tall ship of her kind, currently moored in Suisun City Harbor, just a few hundred yards from where she was built and launched, 40 years ago.
Stan thrived on challenging the elements. Whether is was sailing the ocean or fishing, hunting or camping, Stan went a step beyond. Hunting was done with not only modern day shotguns, but also with bow and arrow and black powder rifle, while dressed in buckskin clothing and moccasins. Camping was done in a tipi. He built black powder pistols and rifles for his personal use as well as for sale and designed beautiful custom jewelry, casting his own silver and gold. He was a man of many God given talents and he did not waste them.
Stan was preceded in death by his brother, Steven Pietrucki, his parents, Stan Sr and Elizabeth Pietrucki, his sister Patricia Economidis, all of West Palm Beach, FL and his son Patric Pietrucki of Salem. He leaves behind a brother, Tony Pietrucki of Palm Beach Gardens, FL, a niece, Kate Ramsingh and great-nephew, Isaac Ramsingh, both of West Palm Beach, FL, a daughter, Kim Pietrucki, two granddaughters, Lyndsey and Elyse and three great-grandchildren, Fallon, Patric and Haylie, all of Salem.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made at either the Alzheimers website (alz.org) to further research into dementia and related diseases or www.friendsofthewitchofwood.com as there is a project underway to restore the Witch of Wood to her original condition while simultaneously establishing an interactive center of learning where knowledge and history can be passed forward to future generations.

April 9 1917 - December 18 2018

Mildred B. (White) Freshour
Mildred Berniece Freshour, of Salem-Keizer, Oregon, went to be with her Heavenly Father on December 18, 2018.

Mildred (Milly) was born in Hopewell, Oregon, to Charles Edgar and Josa Manila (Bones) Loop, April 9, 1917. She grew up in the Hopewell � Amity area with her siblings: brothers William (Billy); and Delmer; and sisters Naomi Ruth (Edwards); and Mary (Capron-McIntyre). She attended Amity-area grade and high schools and grew up on the family dairy farm in Hopewell. She married Guy R. Freshour in 1938. They lived in the Dayton area, with a brief stint in Tillamook, until taking over the Freshour family farm, in rural Dayton, along the Willamette River, in 1945. She became a partner in the farm life and worked hard to make a success of this family operation. In the meantime, she was a good mother to three young boys, Ron, Jerry and Lynn. In 1953 she decided to supplement the farm income and became an Avon sales representative. As with all of her endeavors, this turned out to be a huge success and by 1955 the corporate office at Avon in Pasadena, CA, asked her to be an Avon District Manager. She accepted and took over a territory that included most of the state of Oregon, excluding Portland, and this was to be her vocation for the next 20 years. Mildred loved her Lord and Savior and she was always active in the church: Dayton Baptist; Halbert Memorial Baptist (Salem); and the Salem Evangelical Church in more recent years. She played piano, organ and keyboard and had a beautiful singing voice and she mostly used those talents in Godly praise. She became an accomplished artist in her later adult life, excelling in oil painting, drawing and crafts. She was a member of the Salem Art Association and the Keizer Art Association and she taught art for a number of years. She was a prolific story writer, poet and musical composer. Her family is blessed to have the memories and the music she put to paper over the years. The family moved to Salem in 1959 and became Keizer residents in 1962, where Mildred has predominately resided ever since. Mildred was preceded in death by her parents, three of her siblings, her husband Guy (1993) and husband Wesley White (2004). She is survived by her sister Mary (Chuck), of Portland; sons Ronald (Barbara), Keizer; Jerald (Delphine), Monmouth; and Lynn (Linda), West Salem. She was very proud of her family, which includes eight grandchildren; fourteen great-grandchildren; and five great-great-grandchildren. Arrangements for a private family internment have been made by City-View Funeral Home, Salem. A Celebration of Life fellowship will be held on Saturday, January 12, at 11 AM, at Salem Evangelical Church, 455 Locust St. NE, Salem.

Cora Corki Miller

December 21 1924 - November 24 2018

Cora `Corki` was born December 21, 1924, in Hoisington, Kansas. Her parents were William and Leah Morgenstern. She went to High School in Salina, Kansas where she graduated in 1942. At some point in the 40�s she gave herself the nickname of �Corkey� after a cartoon character. Later she would change the spelling to �Corki�, and this would stay with her until she passed. She met her husband, Warren Miller, at a USO Military Dance during World War II. She always said that �Warren was a really good dancer�. Corki married Warren in Salem, June 15, 1945. He passed away in 1978. They had 3 children Jim, Vicki and Dave. She loved her children. The family would go on many fishing trips and visits to the coast. Those who were special to Corki will remember the many greeting cards that she would send for all kinds of occasions, using stickers to make each card special. She took a long time to make the card just right. She had a passion for this. Corki worked at many different occupations. As a teenager during the depression, she worked for a boss who told her to put a hole in the scoop of ice cream when dishing it out. Of course she did not do that. She made large full scoops. She worked in Salem at Kelly-Farquhar Cannery, graveyard shift as a timekeeper. She loved the night time. She then worked at Capital Press where she would travel around the country in her Big Blue Thunderbird, trying to sell subscriptions. Later she had said, �I can�t believe I did that, traveling from house to house in the country all by myself�. After that Corki worked for a real estate company, Abrahms and Rossbach Realty. At one point, when her bosses were on vacation, a street had to be named, so it was up to her. She named it �Corki Ct.� What else. When her bosses came back and she told them they said �You�ve got to be kidding�. Corki would just smile when she told the story. Corki then went to work for the State of Oregon, retiring from Fire Standards and Accreditation Board. It was there that she met her very good friends Leann and Tari. They both said that Corki was a very special person. They continued to share greeting cards with her through 2018. A long friendship. Her other very close friend was Dorothy whom she met in her earlier years in Salem. They were so close. One time, probably around 2010, Dorothy had to get Corki her birthday present. Since her Birthday was the 21st day in December, it happened to be snowing that day, but Dorothy drove through the snow to deliver it. What a joy that was.

Corki took care of her mother for many years moving in with her eventually. She showed much love and concern for her. Although this was a lot of work for Corki, she did it on her own, asking for little help. She loved her mother.

Corki had a love for her church, Redeemer Lutheran Church. She joined in many of the activities and I remember when she told me she was sharpening the pencils for the Sunday service. Every week she would buy special pencils with sayings and pictures on them for the church service on Sunday. She would make sure they were sharpened.

In 1997 she went to her 55th High School Reunion at Salina High School in Kansas. At that time she was living on Fisher Road. When she came back she was determined to sell her house. So a search for homes landed her on Sunflower Way. She had such wonderful neighbors. She painted her house green, and the church built her a sidewalk on the side of her house. Growing flowers was a favorite for Corki, and well into her 80�s she continued to mow her lawn and rake leaves. I will always remember her sitting on her bench in front of her home.

In her later years she would go to �Among Friends� at Center 50+. The respite program there is a blessing. It was for people with memory difficulties. This was when she was in her 90�s. For 5 hours they would have social activities with others, lunch, snacks, singing, doing crafts and exercise. Thank you Among Friends.

In the last 2 years Corki had been living at a care facility Harmony House. They gave her very loving care and she was known as �Princess�, which made Corki very happy. Her last costume at Halloween was as a Princess. The love that they show to the residents is amazing. They knew her favorite color was Pink so they dressed her in pink and any craft activity they did would include Pink. Bless you Harmony House.

Vicki � (daughter) oh, mommi was soooo special. In the early 60�s she wanted to give me something to do so I wouldn�t stray the wrong way. She had an old green Chevy that she drove, with her mother along, taking me to Glendale Acres, (about 10 miles from where we lived) to pay $2 dollars an hour so I could get a riding lesson with others in the indoor arena. That did send me in a direction as I had horses for 40 years. She supported me in my different pursuits, be it sewing costumes for musicals and Opera�s I was in, or dresses for my recitals. I have a picture in my mind of her sitting tall in the audience during a show with a very large smile on her face. Such a precious mommi who showed her love for me. mommi and I took care of the flowers this summer at Harmony House, they did not die, we did a good job. mommi always wanted to have fun. When I asked her what she wanted to do today, she would say �Something fun�. I miss her so. I love you mommi.

Jamie (granddaughter) - I am very blessed to have had such a caring and thoughtful grandma in Corki. We had many great times together, and I fondly remember time during my childhood in the kitchen of the house at Fisher Road. Gram taught me how to slow cook beans with a ham hock, and we enjoyed sharing fresh farmers cheese right off the cutting block - and to this day one of my favorite ways to relax is by spending time in the kitchen. She was always ready to support me, and has been a stable presence in my life. Gram was very much loved and respected by her family and close friends, and will be dearly missed.

Kali (granddaughter) - Grandma loved to tell everyone that she had a �Perfect Family.� She had perfect children, who married perfect spouses, and that her grandchildren were perfect. Being the perfectionist that I am, this was the highest praise! But in all seriousness, I believe what she taught me is that you only see the best in the people you love. She was always so happy to just be with her family and spending time together. I can only hope to one day be the kind and generous woman that she was every day.

Sami (granddaughter) - I�ll always cherish those times it was just the two of us. Going through her flowers, driving through town with her, visiting my aunt and uncle�s house with her to feed the horses and cats - Grandma was one who was never in a hurry. When she drove, she would usually drive under the speed limit; when people would pass her, she�d comment about how people are in such a hurry now a days. I remember her always telling me whenever I left her house to �drive, safely�.� I�m grinning just thinking back on those times.
When growing up, she would get us grandkids baskets every Easter. Jamie would usually get a basket that had a bunny theme, Kali would get a sheep or something like that, and I would get the duck or whatever other animal was available. She was that bright light at family gatherings, always with a sunny smile and a warm, welcoming hug. In her later years, while she might not have always remembered me, whenever she saw my face she would smile big and open her arms for a hug. There was never a doubt that I knew I was loved. A Christmas tradition was for Grandma to buy us a Hallmark Christmas ornament annually. I am still going on my puppy love hallmark series and the 12 days of Christmas ornaments. I look forward to decorating the tree this year, and in years to come, knowing that when I put those ornaments up, I will always think of her and know that she will continue to be with us in spirit.

Jeri (daughter-in-law) - Some may wonder why after knowing and loving my mother-in-law Corki for 45 years I never called her Mom. It began because before I married her son, I�d hang around her house waiting for Jim, I�d help with her latest mailings (stuffing envelopes for her work, or latest contest entries), we�d talk family, recipes, even religion and Corki and I just became friends. Later, after Jim and I were married some years, I asked her once if she�d like me to call her Mom instead� she said she didn�t care either way and I could tell she meant it. And of course soon she was Grandma, or Grandma Cookie . She was the grandma who spoiled my girls, bought them frilly dresses, gave me family recipes for things like Texas Hash or Gunky Gunk, mailed cards to us for every holiday, and would read aloud the cards we gave her � crying over the sentimental ones!
But I want to share about my time with Corki the last few years of her life, the ones she didn�t remember, but I�ll never forget. In one of my favorite movies, there is a line� �Seasons change � and while I may have waited until the winter of life, to see the things I`ve seen these past years, there is no doubt I would have waited too long, had it not been for you.� Corki and I shared adventures together! She just wanted to have fun, so we went on field trips. If the weather was good we�d find a playground and watch the children sliding and swinging, or walk around the neighborhood and look at shrubs and flowers in bloom, or just touch the bark on the trees. We went to Riverfront Park, checked out the sternwheeler and art and walked across the pedestrian bridge and watched the river flow� with the grand finale always of riding on the Riverfront Carousel! We went to the pumpkin patch, and I took her picture in the funny cutouts or with the goats in the petting zoo, and we search to find the perfect strange shaped gourd to take home. Other times we�d go out to lunch, or surprise her sons by crashing their Thursday morning coffee date at Starbucks. Or mostly we�d stay in and do puzzles, word searches and play cards � war and go fish were our favorites. And during the holidays we�d watch Peanuts movies, or she�d help me bake cookies, or unwrap my ornaments and we�d decorate my Christmas tree. And thru it all she�d let me take pictures, hundreds of pictures of Corki having fun! She�d give me that mischievous smile, raise her arm and wave at the camera! Many of these pictures will be on a slideshow after her service at Redeemer Lutheran. �No one can take away your memories in life� � but I think pictures help too! Love you forever Corki.

Billi (Corki�s brother) - I have evaluated Corki�s merits as a mother, by observing over time how her children and grandchildren conduct themselves as they live their lives. I�ve observed their confidence in their selves, their enduring ability to support each other no matter what, and how they reached out to others and included them in Corki�s life.

Corki is survived by her Son and Daughter-in-law Jim and Jeri, Daughter and Son-in-law Vicki and Ted, and Son and Daughter-in-law Dave and Colleen. Her grandchildren Jamie and her husband David, Kali, and Sami. She is also survived by her special Brother and Sister-in-law Billi and Karen. She was loved, respected and admired by her entire family and will be greatly missed by all.

Funeral services will be Friday December 7, 2018 at 11:00 A.M., at Redeemer Lutheran Church.

Viewing will be at City View Funeral Home in Salem, Thursday, December 6, 2018 from 10 A.M. to 4 P.M.
In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to Redeemer Lutheran Church, or the charity of your choice.

Christopher Lee Mabe

September 4 1973 - November 2 2018

Christopher Lee Mabe
September 4, 1973 � November 2, 2018

Chris was 45 when he unexpectedly passed away on November 2, 2018 at his home in Salem, Oregon. Chris was born in Frankfurt,Germany to Lois and Terry Mabe.
Chris is preceded in death by his son DaeHon, Chris is survived by his son Tristen, his daughter Jessica, parents Lois and Mike Beecher, His Brothers Donald Beecher and Jeremy Mabe. Countless Loving Aunts, Uncles, Nephews and Nieces and his Grandmother Carole Youger.
Chris was a graduate of Eldorado High School in Las Vegas Nevada. In Chris� first 14 years of life he lived in two country�s and 7 different cities across the United States as a Military brat. It didn�t matter where Chris lived his heart and good nature would win the friendship and love of all who knew him.
Chris was a long-time employee of Fred Myer�s and worked at the South Salem Store. His voice would often carry throughout the store in one of the many positions he would staff. He got along with everyone and truly had an esprit de corps for the Fred Myer�s corporation.
Chris` strongest trait was his Love for family especially his children. Tristen and Jessica were his world. Every day Chris and Tristen would hang out together in their Man Cave. They weren�t only a father son dual, they were best friends. Chris would take Jessica to preschool daily and early so they could get a book and read it together before school started. Chris loved surprising his mother on special occasions or a day of the week with flowers and treats. Chris would always jump to the chance to help even though (and we knew it) the pain in his feet was devastating. When football season comes around, you�ll never find a fan that is more loyal than Chris was with the Chicago Bears. Each game he took to heart and would gladly root against all the other teams in his division� (and it sure is working this year)
To say Chris will be missed would be a travesty of the English language. There aren�t words to describe the devastation this event has had on his family and friends. Chris will always be in our hearts, he is in a better place and now free from pain. Chris will always be looking over his family and friends with the same love and devotion he showed throughout his life on earth.
Rest In Peace Christopher, there is no measurement for a fathers love of his sons. You will always be a part of me, my strength and my passions
GO BEARS!

Chris was 45 when he unexpectedly passed away on November 2, 2018 at his home in Salem, Oregon. Chris was born in Frankfurt, Germany to Lois and Terry Mabe.
Chris is preceded in death by his son DaeHon, Chris is survived by his son Tristen, his daughter Jessica, parents Lois and Mike Beecher, His Brothers Donald Beecher and Jeremy Mabe. Countless Loving Aunts, Uncles, Nephews and Nieces and his Grandmother Carole Youger.
Chris was a graduate of Eldorado High School in Las Vegas Nevada. In Chris� first 14 years of life he lived in two countries and 7 different cities across the United States as a Military brat. It didn�t matter where Chris lived his heart and good nature would win the friendship and love of all who knew him.
Chris was a long-time member of Fred Meyer�s and worked at the South Salem Store. His voice would often carry throughout the store in one of the many positions he would staff. He got along with everyone and truly had an esprit de corps for the Fred Meyer�s corporation.
Chris` strongest trait was his Love for family especially his children. Tristen and Jessica were his world. Every day Chris and Tristen would hang out together in their Man Cave. They weren�t only a father son dual, they were best friends. Chris would take Jessica to preschool daily and early so they could get a book and read it together before school started. Chris loved surprising his mother on special occasions or a day of the week with flowers and treats. Chris would always jump to the chance to help even though (and we knew it) the pain in his feet was devastating. When football season comes around, you�ll never find a fan that is more loyal than Chris was with the Chicago Bears. Each game he took to heart and would gladly root against all the other teams in his division� (and it sure is working this year)
To say Chris will be missed would be a travesty of the English language. There aren�t words to describe the devastation this event has had on his family and friends. Chris will always be in our hearts, he is in a better place and now free from pain. Chris will always be looking over his family and friends with the same love and devotion he showed throughout his life on earth.
Rest In Peace Christopher, there is no measurement for a fathers love of his sons. You will always be a part of me, my strength and my passions
GO BEARS!

Gary J. Hogren

June 23 1941 - October 30 2018

Gary J. was born June 23, 1941 in Moline, Illinois to Niel and Eleanor Hogren. He spent most of his childhood in Minnesota, working after school in the paint store his father owned. In his spare time, he enjoyed hunting small game (rabbits, squirrel, pheasants) and fishing one of the state�s many lakes. In 1961, he married Janice DeVries, and they moved to Grand Forks, where he was stationed at the Strategic Air Command Air Force Base. While there, they had two children, Lin and Mark. Shortly after Mark was born, they moved to Salem, Oregon, where Gary found work at Salem Paint Store. In 1964, he hired on at JC Penneys, managing the paint and hardware department, and later added sporting goods to his management responsibilities. Another daughter, Lauri, was added to the family. After 7 years at Penneys, Gary decided to venture out on his own as a painting contractor. An uncle helped him get set up with equipment and Gary decided he would rely on word of mouth for advertising. It wasn�t long before the quality of his work was bringing him repeat customers. He built up a successful business, in which his son worked with him for many years, learning the trade.

Throughout his life, many people enjoyed listening to Gary�s beautiful voice, as he sang at weddings and funerals, even singing at his own daughter�s wedding. He also sang frequently at church and led congregational singing. For a few years, he exercised his leadership abilities by serving as the moderator of the Conservative Baptist Association of Oregon board. Gary loved the out-of-doors, and passed on this love to his family, taking them camping, hunting and fishing. He especially enjoyed hunting for elk, and was a member of the Oregon Hunters Association.

Those who knew Gary will remember his storytelling abilities, and if they don�t remember the content, it wasn�t for lack of repetition. His family wonders if he is telling the same stories in heaven.
Gary entered his eternal home on October 30, 2018 after a prolonged struggle with heart issues and diabetes. He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother Maury, leaving behind his wife of 57 years, Janice, his children Lin (Doug), Mark (Cheryl), and Lauri, and 16 grandchildren. Siblings left behind include Zelda (Curt) and Rhonda.

A memorial service will be held Monday, November 12, 2018 at 3:00pm at Bethel Baptist Church of Aumsville. Interment service provided by City View Funeral Home.

To name just a few projects: Eastern Oregon State College Liberal Arts Building in La Grande, OR; Leslie Middle School in Salem, OR; Silverton High School in Silverton, OR; Salem-Keizer School District Central Kitchen, plus numerous other projects.

Reg was passionate about life in Oregon and loved the great outdoors. Some of his favorite things to do were camping, hiking, sightseeing, fishing, and picnics with his family. He enjoyed equally the coast and the Cascades and made it a frequent experience to share with his family. As his children grew, married and left home he focused his passion in photography where he traveled throughout Oregon capturing its natural beauty. One of his favorite locations was Camp Sherman along the Metolius River from its Head Waters to Wizard Falls.

Survived by his wonderful wife, Patricia L. of Oregon and three terrific daughters; Kimberly and husband Steve Scaggs of Washington and children; Kaelee Darling (James and son Jackson) and Ryan Scaggs (son Owen). Connie Friend of Oregon and children; Tyler Friend (Jordan), Alyssa Friend, and Greyson Friend. Kelly and husband Stephen Marsden of Georgia and children; Madyson, Ellie, and Harrison.

Max V Suko

September 26 1933 - January 24 2018

Max V. Suko was born on September 26, 1933 and passed away at 5:10 pm. on the afternoon of January 24, 2018 at Salem Hospital in Salem, Oregon.

Born in Salem, Max had an interest in the art of magic before he even turned ten. This was nurtured after attending a local carnival sideshow and seeing a magician perform. After acquiring an A.C. Gilbert Mysto Magic Set from his parents and buying a copy of Howard Thurston�s famous �400 Tricks You Can Do�, it didn�t take long for Max to start performing locally.

Throughout the 1940s, these early performances were for luncheons, banquets, and various school-related events.

After studying piano performance at the University of Oregon from 1951 to 1953, he joined the U.S. Air Force just as the Korean War was ending. It was during this time when his magic career sprung into gear with performances for an all-military entertainment unit. Stationed in Texas, he performed on KRLD-TV in Dallas and KHOU in Houston. He also appeared on WGN-TV in Chicago, Illinois performing a blindfold stunt while driving.

Upon release from active military duty, he worked for a time as a radio disc jockey in stations from Wyoming to California. By the late �50s, he finally put together a full-time career in the magic show business. Billed as �Suko the Magician�, he appeared in clubs, theatres, and schools. He was also a popular attraction at state and county fairs.

His annual show tours took him throughout four western states. Accomplished as a builder of magical effects, he designed, built, and decorated many of his own illusions.

From 1959-60, he briefly studied at a radio/TV school in Hollywood, CA. He had many adventures in Hollywood, including meeting Harry Blackstone, Sr. and getting a private tour of The Magic Castle before it opened to the public.

In 1964, he met Josephine Singer in Salem, linking up via local dance teacher and Josephine�s lifelong friend, Carole France. Jo became not only Max�s new magic assistant, but also his wife. Married in August of 1965, they played schools, fairs, and many other venues throughout the Pacific Northwest. By the late 1960s, they were on the cusp of taking their entertaining and classy magic show to a national level. However, having a son (Greg) in 1971 changed that direction.

Josephine also had a busy career working for the Oregon Department of Education, so working as an assistant occurred only on the side by the 1970s. She had to stop performing by 1978 due to a spinal fusion.

Max continued to tour with hired assistants, and sometimes on his own. Some road tours during the 1980s went on for weeks, though mostly confined to the NW.

Max and Josephine divorced in 1988, yet stayed close. He decided to stop doing road tours at this point due to schools no longer having the budgets to book magic shows. Despite this, he continued to perform on a local level. During the 1990s, he was hired to perform close-up magic for several popular local Salem restaurants, including Geppetto�s.

Mostly retired from the magic business by then, he became a tour guide at prominent Salem museums. This included working at Mission Mill Museum as a tour guide from 1991 to 1997. He returned there in the early 2000s for a time to volunteer.

He followed this in the late 2000s by conducting tours at Historic Bush House in Salem�s Bush Park. Despite emerging health issues, he kept this going sporadically until December of this last year.

Max was a long-time member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians. In 2002, he was presented the �Merlin Excaliber� award for 50 continuous years of membership. This extended to further awards after reaching 60+ years.

In addition, he was a charter member and past president of IBM Ring 238 in Albany, Oregon. A broken wand ceremony took place on Saturday, February 3, 2018.

Survivors include his son, Greg, and various cousins living in Washington and Southern California. His friends were many, both in Salem, in the NW, and across the nation. This included attending local coffee meet-ups three times a week with former tour guide friends Judith Sutliff and Sharon Whitwer. It also included attending social events with local magician friends like John Edsall.

His son, close family, and devoted friends are going to miss him every day.

Chloe Michelle Whelan

May 24 2004 - January 4 2018

Our sweet, sassy, brilliant Chloe Michelle Whelan has returned to what she believed her origin to be � a star in the sky. She would speak of quantum physics and the fact that energy never dissipates or dies � a firm believer that when we leave our earthly bodies, our spirits remain on just the other side of the thin veil that separates our visible world from the invisible world. Chloe�s untimely accidental death comes as a shock to us all and as we grieve the loss of her physical being we ask for peace, comfort and solace in knowing her brilliant spirit is shining down on the world.
Chloe was born at Salem Hospital May 24, 2004, to parents Rob and Suzanne Whelan. She was welcomed by her proud big brothers Hunter and Ryder. She was elated to become a big sister when Cassidy was born in 2009.
Chloe was an academic all-star from her kindergarten beginning at Liberty Elementary School, to her move to Morningside Elementary School in 2012 and her current 8th grade year at Leslie Middle School. She was destined to excel at whatever she made up her mind to tackle � not necessarily because she loved it but sometimes just out of necessity, as she often spoke of homework as �if I do it right away then I don�t have to worry about it�.
In third grade Chloe�s PE teacher noticed her innate ability for volleyball and encouraged her to take up the sport � advice that she graciously accepted and a passion for sport was immediately sparked. Since her first team at Boys and Girls Club to her current competitive team at Southside Volleyball Club she has been a force to reckon with on the court. Her other passions include sketching, painting, photography and animals. She dreamed of traveling to Paris, visiting Hawaii for her sweet-sixteen, moving to LA after high school with her closest friends and traveling the world as a photographer for National Geographic for her profession.
Her absence is profound as we learn stories of the kind, caring, compassionate friend she was; from new students she would reach out to in the classroom to new teammates she would welcome on the volleyball court. Her gifts are even more profound � especially her final gift of organ donation. Chloe�s heart was able to save one precious life while her kidneys and liver saved another.
A Celebration of Life is planned for Sunday, January 21, 2018, at Mission Mill (1313 Mill St SE, Spinning Room, Salem, 97302) from 2:00 p.m. � 5:00 p.m. We graciously welcome any and all of the friends and family who want to come share memories and light refreshments. We ask that in lieu of flowers, contributions be made in her honor to cover medical and funeral expenses � while donations above and beyond these costs will go to creating a volleyball scholarship fund in her memory. https://www.gofundme.com/medical-exp-and-celebration-of-life

Hope N. Bulgin

August 18 1947 - January 1 2018

Hope was born to Marlin and Virginia Hendrickson in Longview, Washington on August 18, 1947, the 3rd of 5 children. Growing up along the Columbia River she learned how to work hard, and had many opportunities to run with her sense of adventure. From swimming across the shipping channel with her siblings, to roaming the beach and farm with her cousins, she pursued life without fear.

Hope met Bud Bulgin at Seattle Pacific College and the two were married in 1967. After moving to Salem, Hope taught at Chemawa Indian school and then brought up Mark (1969) and Jennifer (1972) at home. During those years she served with Bud in ministry with the Ambassador group at Salem First Church of the Nazarene. She also taught at Faye Wright Elementary and Salem Academy. Hope sold real estate with both Russ Hicks Realty and Coldwell Banker Mountain West. Part of her lasting legacy is the Hearts at Home program for young moms at Salem Alliance church, which she started in 1988. In everything she did, Hope loved and encouraged others.

One of Hope�s greatest joys was her grandchildren. Never one to slow down from her sense of adventure, Grammy included them in her snow skiing, bike riding, water skiing, roller blading, hiking and so much more. She demonstrated a servant heart, courage and joy in the face of pain, and she loved them passionately.

As a young girl, Hope was invited to church by a sweet neighbor, who demonstrated the love of Jesus to her. Her faith was built on the simple truth that God loves her and is always watching over her. Those truths carried her through all of life, and up to the very end. Hope�s battle with cancer in 2007 left her in chronic pain for the final years of her life. As we mourn her passing, we rejoice that she is out of pain and with her beloved Jesus, who truly loves her and watched over her all her life.

Hope is preceded in death by her parents, Marlin and Virginia Hendrickson, her uncle, Ken White, and her grandson, Isaac Bulgin. She is survived by her husband, Bud Bulgin, her children, Mark (Tiffany) Bulgin, Jennifer (Jeff) Roth, her grandchildren, Zachary and Andrew Bulgin, Josiah, Titus, and Abigail Roth, and her siblings Katy White-Dawson, Janet (Jerry Baker) Geary, Mardi (Bill) Norris and Mike (Debi) Hendrickson.

A celebration of life is planned for Sunday, January 7th, 2:30 at Salem Alliance Church. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Isaac�s Room/IKE BOX, 299 Cottage St. NE 97301. isaacsroom.org

She first met her future husband (Jeff Yocom) as a teenager in the hop fields near Independence in the early 1930s. They were married in 1939 in Redding, California. After a year in California they moved back to Oregon where their first son (David) was born in 1940. Mary and Jeff had two other sons (Dennis born in 1944 and Tim born in 1947).

He died unexpectedly from a heart attack on a hunting trip at age 38 in 1953. In his death Mary faced some real personal and financial challenges as a single mother with three young boys living in the small community of Cloverdale on the Oregon coast. She had a very strong network of close friends and relatives that were very supportive of her. She became very resourceful in obtaining bookkeeping skills to be able to gain some initial part time employment and eventually become secretary at Nestucca High School in Cloverdale�.a job she dearly loved. She bonded with a number teachers and students during her time at Nestucca. Attesting to that fact, several former teachers and students attended her 100th birthday party.

With the skills she had gained at Nestucca she quickly gained employment with a small college in Portland. Over time she took several self improvement classes at Portland Community College. After a number of years of employment with Clackamas County Housing Authority she ended her working career in 1980.

Mary was single from 1953 to 1980 at which point she married Joseph Spousta. Joseph had cared for his first wife for 10 years until her death in 1978. As a newly retired couple she and Joe traveled the country and the world as one of their two of their new favorite avocations. Their second love was golf � which Mary took up at age 65. At age 73 she was excited to achieve a hole in one.

Robert Earl (Bob) Fleming was born January 10, 1943 at the Bungalow Maternity Home on Capitol Street in Salem during a snow storm; He was named for his father and maternal grandfather, the third of four children of his father and of five of his mother. He grew up in Keizer, Mill City, and Salem graduating from North Salem High School in 1962 with his younger brother. On January 7, 1964, wanting a choice in preference for a particular branch of the service, Bob enlisted in the United States Air Force serving until his discharge January 6, 1972. During his service he was sent on one tour of duty in Vietnam and was stationed in Texas, Hawaii and Washington as well as spending time in Australia and Germany along the way. Bob was primarily an aircraft mechanic and attained the title of Staff Sergeant, giving himself the nickname of `Sergeant Rock` or simply `Sarge` for his firm personality.
After his discharge, Bob was hired on March 4, 1972 with the United States Postal Service, a career he worked out of the main Salem post office until his retirement on November 30, 2007. On March 4, 1973 Bob met up with his Aunt Bernice Baker to celebrate his 1-year USPS anniversary at Donald Tavern. While there in walked the future fancy of his life, Lyn, who was out enjoying the evening with friends. Lyn soon nicknamed him a `Country Bumpkin` after a hit country song of the era, a nickname that fit him. Bob and Lyn dated on and off for a while, but always remained loyal friends for the next 44 years until the day he passed unexpectedly.
During his happiest years Bob enjoyed gardening and tinkering on his 1.5 acre hobby farm in Keizer that he bought on May 18, 1975; He planted flowers, shrubs, trees, and raising small fowl including chickens, ducks and rabbits. Bob was proud of his beautiful ranch-style home and its park-like acreage. In his later years Bob resigned more to the enjoyment of watching TV, catching the latest movies in the theater, shopping/walking stores, and long laughter-filled visits with family reminiscing and playing board games, especially Kismet. He LOVED to tell stories, fond memories of relatives past and present, and his rich life experiences. From the age of 60 on Bob also took a passionate interest in tattoo art, covering most of his arms, shoulders, neck, and chest with images that meant things to him. In the late 2000s he became a grandfather, and really enjoyed drawing with his grandsons who he affectionately called him `Grandpa Pappy`.
Bob will be dearly missed by his family; He is survived by his `lady friend` of over 44 years Lyn Broadhurst, son Brian, daughter Melinda and her children grandsons Everett and Ethaniel Anderson. He is also survived by sister Rose (Doug) Hall, brother Gary (Kay) Fleming and sister Debbie (Tony) Jucutan and their families as well as the family of his late sister Barbara (Bill) Durig. He was predeceased by his father Bob in 1970, mother Nada in 2009, and his sister Barbara in 2011. See you later Country Bumpkin - We all love you and will miss you immensely � you will never be forgotten.
Graveside service with Military Honors will be 12 noon Saturday, December 2, 2017 at City View Cemetery under the direction of City View Funeral Home. A celebration of Bob�s life will be announced later.

Clarice June Nelson was born June 8th, 1926, in Bayfield, Wisconsin, the 6th and youngest child of Leo and Anna Nelson. As she grew up, Clarice had a love for drawing and music. She played the clarinet in music ensembles while in high school, and loved to sing. As a teenager, she also worked in the Bayfield newspaper office. After graduating from Bayfield High School, Clarice attended a year of teacher`s college in Superior, Wisconsin. The following year, she joined the Cadet Nurse Corp in Madison, WI. During this time, one of her fellow artistic nurses introduced her to chalk drawing programs, which Clarice eventually developed into a ministry to share the Gospel.
Clarice attended Moody Bible Institute in Chicago from 1949-1952. After graduating, she returned to her home town, Bayfield, for 9 months and together with her sister began a Sunday School for neighborhood children. That Sunday School eventually resulted in an evangelical church that continues to this day.
The next summer Clarice was asked to be a counselor and camp nurse at Bible Witness Camp south of Chicago that ministered to children from inner city Chicago. Clarice won the hearts of these children by drawing pictures for them with colored chalk. It just so happened that Bob Bright, a young man who had been a fellow student at Moody, was also working at the camp. They became more acquainted as they worked together with the campers. A deep love developed between them and they knew God had chosen them for each other. They were married in 1956. Clarice worked as a nurse, and she and Bob both continued ministry with Bible Witness Camp until 1961. During those years, their daughter Patty, and son, Donald were born.
New opportunities opened up in Northern Minnesota at Oak Hills Fellowship near Bemidji. Bob was head cook for the Bible Institute, camps and conferences while Clarice continued her nursing career at the Bemidji hospital. She was an ER nurse for many years, and then a floor supervisor. Bob and Clarice continued to work together in children`s ministries...Sunday School, jr. church, children`s meetings, camps, VBS, AWANA`s. They also did programs at area churches where Clarice gave the message with her �chalk talks�. Their daughter, Marcie, was born during this time. In 1973 they moved a few miles away and remodeled a sturdy, old one room schoolhouse into a split-level home where they lived until Clarice retired from nursing in 1991. To escape the cold, harsh Minnesota winters, they moved to Myrtle Creek, Oregon, where their daughter, Patty, and her family were living. Clarice loved spending time with her grandchildren, and having leisure time to do the things she enjoyed...painting, sewing projects, finding yard sale treasures and picking blackberries with Bob, canning, and visiting with her Watkins customers. After Bob went to be with the Lord in 1999, Clarice continued to live in Myrtle Creek, being involved in church activities, keeping up with her little garden, and joining a painting class. When Patty`s family moved to Salem, OR, Clarice moved with them. She first lived on her own, enjoying neighbors and keeping up her beautiful flower garden. She was also involved in Bible studies and church activities as she was able. In 2013, after a fall, and congestive heart failure diagnosis, Clarice moved to Patty`s home, and was there until her passing on October 28th, 2017. Clarice will be remembered for her love for Jesus, her sweet, quiet spirit, her artistic talents, her sense of humor, her love for children, and her desire for others to know Christ.
Clarice is survived by her children and their families: Patty (Joe) Wallace of Salem, OR, Don Bright of San Clemente, CA , Marcie (Rick) Salas of Delaware, OH, nine grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren., and also many nieces and nephews.

Sam C. Skillern, Jr.

June 5 1932 - May 24 2017

Sam C. Skillern, Jr.
The self-dubbed `Oldest Living Acolyte` at St. Paul`s parish entered into eternity with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit on May 24, just twelve days shy of his 85th birthday. Born June 5, 1932, Dad was the youngest of three children who grew up in the buoyant Lewiston, Idaho, household of Samuel Charles `Papa` Skillern, Sr., and Elizabeth `Blizz` Kettenbach Skillern. Every summer into the 1970s, four generations of the extended family treasured their pilgrimages to the hallowed `Skillern Stockade` along the Wallowa River.

Dad was preceded in death by his parents, his sister Sally Ann Hays, and his beloved wife Teddy (2008). He is survived by his sister Cora Jane `Cokie` Williams; his sons Sam III (Jennifer) and Chuck (Caroline); his daughter Sarah Jane Peterson (Bruce); and his grandchildren Samuel Skillern IV, Andrew Skillern and Gabriella Peterson. Not to mention a whole tribe of cousins, nieces, nephews, in-laws and ... well, to keep it simple, each and everyone is simply called `Cuz.` Sam was graduated from Lewiston High School in 1950 and the University of Oregon in 1955. An avid athlete, he played centerfield on the 1949 American Legion Idaho State Champion baseball team, and played both basketball and baseball at Menlo College in California before joining his favorite cousin Clarke Miller at the U of O, pledging Phi Gamma Delta. Naturally, he was a lifelong and avid Ducks fan, but Dad loved Gonzaga basketball and Oregon State baseball with equal gusto.

It was at a mixer between the Fijis and the Pi Phis where Dad met the love of his life, Tedro (Teddy) Croley. They were married in Portland on July 9, 1955, and promptly headed off to Fort Eustis in Virginia for Army officers training. Dad was stationed two years at Fort Lawton in Seattle before he and Mom settled in Spokane. They came to Salem in 1960 so Dad could learn the life-insurance business from his father-in-law, Charles Croley.

Dad became a top producer with Guarantee Mutual Life Company and a CLU instructor--we frequently run into agents who took classes from Dad to earn or maintain their certifications. Dad later became an independent agent and retired from the insurance business in 2005. Despite working hard and seemingly earning every `convention trip` in the book, Dad never missed a ballgame or a concert or a birthday. He was always there for and with us.

After many years of playing ASA Softball with his tatty 1940s mitt, Dad followed Mom`s lead and picked up the tennis racket in the early `70s. They were familiar faces at Salem Tennis and Swim Club and frequent trophy winners (well, Mom anyway) at the prestigious Limnugger Tennis Tournament at Salishan every summer. Dad loved tennis but a secondary agenda was to hone his deep and legendary tan. `Catching rays was another reason Dad loved gardening his coveted `lier-downers` at the Wallowas and on Fairmount Hill.

Dad was a man of great faith and served the community in many capacities, starting with church. Generations of parishioners at St. Paul`s were greeted by Dad on Sunday mornings, with adults getting mints and kids getting Tootsie Pops. For years Dad was `The Boss` for the Woodcutter`s Guild and lead volunteer for the Jason Lee Food Bank. He was actively serving both ministries well into 2016.

Dad (and Mom) will be remembered at a memorial service at 2:00 PM, on June 24 at St. Paul`s Episcopal Church, 1444 Liberty Street SE. Memorial gifts can be made to Dad`s favorite ministries: Salem Leadership Foundation (SLF), PO Box 7384, 97303-0083, or St. Paul`s. Cremation services provided by City View Funeral Home and Cemetery. Hospice by Tokarski House (thank you!).

Michael O Roberts

October 23 1942 - February 14 2017

Michael Orris Roberts was born October 23, 1942 to Morris and Betty Roberts in Albany, Oregon. His dad, who was stationed in Kodiak, Alaska with the Army Air Corp, was notified 10 days after his birth by the Red Cross. Tuesday, February 14, 2017 Mike left his earthly life to join his parents in the arms of Jesus.
He is survived by his wife, Sarah (Broyles) Roberts, son, Marc Roberts and wife Casey, son, Greg Roberts and wife Melissa, grandson, Jimmy Roberts, brother, Darcy Roberts and wife Lauri, several nieces and nephews and many Roberts and Dickson cousins.
Mike was preceded in death by his parents and brothers, Patrick Norris Roberts (Pat), and Steven Kent Roberts.
With his Father in the Air Force, Mike lived in various places while growing up: Shedd, Oregon at his Grandmother Dickson�s home, Ashburn Farm; Sioux Falls, South Dakota; March Field, California; Riverside, California; Vacaville, California; Anchorage, Alaska; Belleville, Illinois; Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts; Durham, New Hampshire; Shreveport, Louisiana; Everett, Washington. He graduated in 1960 from Central Linn High School in Halsey, Oregon.
Mike attended Oregon State University, graduating in 1965 with a BS degree in Wildlife Management.
During his junior year of college, he took time off to travel to Evreau, France where his dad was stationed. Mike enjoyed sightseeing in Western Europe with his family and was also able to take several University of Maryland courses while there.
After graduating from OSU, Uncle Sam was getting ready to call him into the military, so Mike enlisted in the Army. He served just over four years, entering as a Private and leaving as a Captain. He served in Viet Nam as a Lieutenant, then Captain of an Ambulance Company in Chu Lai and Phu Bai, RVN.
Mike met Sarah while stationed at Fort Sam Houston, Texas (San Antonio). They were married Aug 23, 1969 in Austin, Texas. After his release from the service, they moved to Corvallis, Oregon where he earned a Masters degree in Education and his first son, Marc, was born. He then taught in Philomath, Oregon where his second son, Greg was born. Then wanting to be on the East side of the Cascades, he took a teaching job in LaPine, Oregon. He left his teaching career and bought a sporting goods store in Redmond. The family moved to Redmond in January of 1979 and has been in the same house since then. Other jobs include being an Appliance Salesman at Sears and a Machine Operator at Jeld Wen Millwork Manufacturing, both in Bend, Oregon. He retired from Jeld Wen in 2008.
As a boy he was active in Scouts and became a leader in his troop. At 15, he was awarded the Eagle Scout rank. He continued participating in scouting by becoming a troop leader in Philomath and Redmond including while his boys were scouts.
Mike loved hunting and fishing. The Roberts and Morehouse families hunted near LaPine every Fall until the deer became scarce.
In 2002 Mike started fishing for salmon and halibut in Alaska. He became an active part of a non-profit Christian fish camp (153 Fish Camp) and served each year on staff as well as on the board. He drove to Alaska to fish a total of 14 years in a row, missing last year only because treatment began for his lung cancer.
He was fortunate enough to be able to take two safaris in South Africa, having an exceptional time and bagging six different animals. He also traveled to Europe twice to help fulfill Sarah�s dream of seeing the sights there. Mike had a wonderfully dry sense of humor that consisted of mostly one-liners. He especially enjoyed their dog, Molly. She sat on his lap many hours watching TV with him.
Most significant was his personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. He knew where he was going when he passed from this life. He was a member of First Baptist Church in Bend and then Forest Avenue Baptist Church, now Highland Baptist Church of Redmond. He was active in both churches at times ministering as a Nursery worker, as an Usher, and a Deacon. He also helped on both of hbc�s building projects.
A Celebration of Life is planned for February 25 at 11am at Highland Baptist Church, 3100 SW Highland Ave in Redmond. There will also be a Graveside Service at the Pugh Cemetery, Shedd, Oregon on Saturday, April 15 at 11am.

Jerry had an incredible personality and ability to make anyone smile with his wit being second to none. He had a knack for turning any situation into a positive, never seeing the glass half empty. It is one of the things I most admire about my little brother and will miss more than I can express.
He was one of my best friends; always there for me when I needed to talk to someone but inevitably I ended up mostly listening. Jerry was never short on things to say. He would be beside me or any friend in any situation, good or bad. Most people are lucky to have one or two good friends, Jerry had several. He influenced many peoples� lives with his generous heart and witty spirit, including my own.
He was a great father; the birth of his son being one of the best days of his life. As long as I can remember, he always wanted to have a large family with lots of children. Loyal and hard-working, Jerry committed himself to doing the best he could for his family in every aspect of his life.
He loved his job and the people he worked with�you could hear his passion for �the shop� in every conversation we had. He was a sports fanatic as a diehard Oakland Raiders fan as well as the Portland Trailblazers and Oregon Ducks.

Scott William Tallman

June 20 1966 - November 28 2016

Salem, OR - Scott William Tallman died peacefully in his residence following a life time of continued battles with mental and physical illness. He was the adopted son of Darrell and Barbara Tallman, born in Denver, Colorado.
Scott`s precious, yet precarious, personality exuded enthusiasm for life, with a deep love for his family, all who seemed to absorb the needs of his personality, and celebrate his thoughtful times.

Marilyn Claire Sohrt

March 13 1935 - June 30 2016

Marilyn Claire Settlemier Sohrt, a thoroughly Salem girl, passed from this life at 1 a.m. June 30, 2016 at the age of 81, from a short illness with an aggressive lymphoma.

Marilyn was born to George and Elaine (McCarroll) Settlemier in Salem on March 13, 1935. With the exception of an 18 month residence in Pullman, Washington, she lived her whole life in Salem.

Her early years were spent on her parents` farm on Fabry Rd. in south Salem. She would often recount how she liked to ride the cows and chase the chickens. A typical farm girl she also participated in 4-H and later in Tri-Y during high school. But tragically, when she was 12 her dad unexpectedly passed away, and not long after the family moved into town.

Well read and smart, she said she never really loved school. She couldn`t wait to graduate from Salem High School (North Salem High) and it wasn`t a week or so later that she married her high school sweetheart John Richard �Dick� Sohrt. Dick and Marilyn met on a blind date when he was 17 and she was 16. They were married at the First United Methodist Church in Salem on July 11, 1953 � nearly 63 amazing years.

Marilyn`s greatest love was being a mom, grandma and wife. She raised three children: Debbie, Karen and Martin, all of whom graduated from the same high school as their parents. She devoted her energy as a stay-at-home mom to building strong character and good values in her children. From volunteering as a school room mother and at other school activities to chauffeuring kids in the green station wagon and being a Camp Fire Girls leader, to her involvement as a Job`s Daughters` Bethel 48 Council volunteer mom and other kids` activities such as DeMolay, Cub Scouts, drum and bugle corps, sports competitions and more; Marilyn gave without fail to her children. And along with Dick, the inseparable pair gave their kids adventures from Silver Falls and the Oregon Coast to camping and road trips and family
time together.

As the descendent of Oregon pioneers (Settlemier House in Woodburn), her penchant for gardening and the beauty of nature surely came from her nurserymen ancestors. Her home and yard were filled with flowers that flourished with prolific blooms. She would continually marvel at the variety of birds that visited the feeders she and Dick kept filled with seed. From hummingbirds to hawks and finches to grosbeaks she never ceased to see their beauty.

Together, Marilyn and Dick shared a lifelong companionship to be envied. They lived in several homes across Salem and finally on Mousebird Ave. in West Salem. They traveled to New York City and Miami, FL, and took cruises to Hawaii and Alaska. They visited venues across Oregon and the West in their travel trailer with their beloved Shih Tzu dog, Andy. They swing danced, they sang and simply enjoyed being together, including working out and doing aqua aerobics for 12 years at the Courthouse Athletic Club.

Although her primary career was being a mom and grandmother � especially helping with child care for her �grands,� she augmented that job with a stint as a greeting card merchandiser that led her to becoming a bakery manager for Roth`s IGA stores on Lancaster and Commercial streets where she delighted in serving customers.

She is predeceased by her mother Elaine (who died at the age of 100), her father George, and her step-father Woodrow �Woody� Van Woert. She is survived by her faithful and loving husband Dick; younger sister Jolene Byrne (Sam); older brother George Settlemier (Judy); daughters Debbie Flickinger (Terry Weems) of Portland, Karen Terpin (Mark) of Salem, Martin Sohrt (Jo Lynn Myrick) of Salem; grandchildren Angela Terpin Daniels (Scott); Sarah Terpin; Ian Terpin (Kaitlyn McGuiness); Matthew Sohrt (Carolyn Andino); Kyle Sohrt and Timothy Sohrt; one great grandchild Saniyah Sohrt (and three more great grandchildren on the way); and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and loving neighbors and friends.

There will be no service, however, a open house for friends and family will be held on Sunday, July 17 from 1 to 3 p.m. For details about venue, directions and questions, email daughter Deb at djfpdx50@gmail.com. In lieu of flowers, please consider a memorial donation to one of these charities: Willamette Valley Hospice, Mid-Willamette Humane Society, and Salem Health Foundation.

While in our home for over 16 years she was family and we never thought any less of her.

She most enjoyed camping, casino, coast, long drives, amusement rides, bike rides in her trailer, walks in the neighborhood, going out to dinner and many other adventures. Probably her favorite things: playing with her shoelaces, backrubs, hugs and 1:1 time with those that she loved.

Her personality could light up a room and her smile just melted your heart. She will be missed greatly by all of us that loved her but she will never be forgotten.

Beloved Husband, Father, Grandfather, Great Grandfather and Teacher passed away Monday morning, February 8, 2016 with all of his immediate family by his side. He was 92 years old and had lived a full and wonderful life.

Joe was born to Mildred Thomas and Joe William Bowersox in Reedsport, Oregon. Before he was one year old the young family moved to Salem and it was here his only sister was born thirteen months after Joe. They were close siblings.

Joe went to Grant Grade School, Parrish Jr. High School, and graduated from Salem High in 1942. He was an active and intelligent student. Early in his youth he started playing basketball and was on the team until a bout of pneumonia slowed him down for a while. He soon recovered and continued playing into his college days. Joe was active in the school on many agendas and ended his public school days as Student Body President. After high school graduation, he went to Occidental College in Eagle Rock, Ca. on scholarship. World War II was in full swing by that time and on March 17th 1943 Joe was called up along with many of the students and was sent to Camp Walters in Texas. From there he was recruited into the Army Air Corps and started his training as a B-25 bombardier and navigator. This took him to many locations, mostly on the East Coast. By the time his flight group was trained the war was coming to an end. Joe was in the war zone dropping leaflets over Italy to try and put an end to the fighting. He was discharged from active duty in December of 1945 as a 2ndLt. His training in celestial navigation and weather continued to be a lifelong passion.

After his discharge, Joe returned to Occidental to finish his education in math, physics and economics, graduating in June 1949. By this time he had a serious relationship with a former classmate, June Varnes. Their very first encounter was during Jr. High days when he and a friend sat down with two girls in White`s Restaurant after a football game. Joe remembered the incident; June did not. Joe and June decided they wanted to go back to Salem, Oregon where he taught at Richmond Elementary for four years and then started teaching Math at the Jr, High level, teaching four years at Leslie and four years at Judson. While teaching he completed his Masters and went into administration. The rest of his 33 years he was an Elementary School Principal.

Joe and June were married July 15, 1951 on a hot Sunday afternoon at the Evangelical Church where they were long time members. Both had a travel bug (eventually visiting almost 60 countries together) and they started out life with a long car trip to the East Coast where Joe wanted June to see all the places he had been, plus a few new basketball and sports arenas as well. It was the beginning of a wonderful life together.

'Hey You Up There'

Hey you up there, in that big red truck,
With the pressure you`re under
I wish you good luck.
Hey you up there, wherever you go,
I`m so proud of you; I just want you to know.
Hey you up there, I`ve watched you unload,
You just keep smiling and do as you`re told.
Hey you up there, how many miles do you log?
I worry about you, in the snow and the fog.
Hey you up there, you back in with ease,
You make driving an eighteen wheeler
Look like a breeze.
Hey you up there, the hours so late,
I think of you often
Your loving mate.
Elaine Ellis.

Anthony William Glynn

June 14 1929 - October 14 2015

Anthony (Tony) William Glynn, Jr. (86)

Tony was the only child born to Hazel Martha Power Glynn and Anthony William Glynn Sr. on June 14, 1929 at St. Mary`s Hospital in San Francisco, California. He attended St. Paul the Apostle Grade School and graduated from Loyola High School in Los Angeles, California in 1947. Tony began his college career at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles before joining the United States Army. He served in Japan during the Korean War from 1950-1952.

Tony married the love of his life, Ruth Esther Chambers Melchior in 1974. In 1992 they moved to Salem, Oregon to be near Ruth`s mother, and to enjoy their retirement years. Tony`s early career in sales began by following in the footsteps of his father who worked in the insurance business. Not meeting the clientele he preferred, Tony went into the advertising business, selling time on local radio stations for several businesses which, at one time, included Shasta Beverages Company. Later his sales connected more to his love of music as he began selling high-end sound systems. In the 1990`s he started his own company, Westland Audio Group, dba Lowther America. A believer in personal connections, this business struggled with the onset of the Internet and online shopping. He eventually gave Lowther America to a hobbyist in the Midwest. However, he continued to participate with a Portland based audio club, The Oregon Triode Society, and he subscribed to countless sound and audio magazines.

Tony began his love of music as a young child as he took regular piano lessons for many years. As an adult he played the piano and the steel guitar, and he tried his hand at writing a few songs. His love of music contributed to his library of literally hundreds of 33 rpm albums. He eventually, reluctantly, allowed himself to appreciate the sounds of music recorded on CD.

While Tony loathed rock music, he enjoyed classic, classical, jazz, and instrumental music. However, he especially loved Hawaiian music. Tony`s love of the Hawaiian Islands, and his best friend, Freddie Tavares, influenced his love of Hawaiian music which became popular during the 1940s-1960s by the Hawaiian orchestra, Harry Owens and His Royal Hawaiians.

Over the years Tony and Ruth hosted countless dinners and parties in their home. Tony was not only a fabulous mixologist, he was also a gourmet cook. Due to his `expertise,` he was also very opinionated about meals that did not live up to his standard! If it did not have a pound of butter in the recipe, or exceptional flavor from his wide selection of favorite herbs and spices, it was just not good enough, and you would hear about it!

Tony was also known as being somewhat irreverent. His verbal filter did not always work well, but his intention was never to offend, rather to shock people and to be funny.

Tony`s favorite past-times were to `puff` on one of his many pipes that he acquired from around the world, he read countless books, magazines, newspapers, and junk mail, and he faithfully watched the San Francisco 49ers. As his vision became impaired, he purchased a large 52` television and sat directly in front of it so as not to miss a single play!

Tony`s final years were spent living in Kindred Hearts Care Home, an adult foster home in Salem. He loved his primary care-givers, Raeven Earhart and Lisa Grabhorn, as they did him.
Tony will be interred at Lone Oak Cemetery in Stayton, Oregon alongside his beautiful wife, Ruth who preceded him in death in 2012.

After many unsuccessful tries (due to age) he was finally able to join the Navy near the end of WWII where he served on the Liberty ship, U.S.S. Samar.

W. Wallace Ogdahl

February 3 1945 - August 23 2015

Wally lived as many in this life strive to, filled with laughter and a love of life that was infectious to all those around him. He governed himself by the motto that he shared and spoke of often, �It�s pretty simple: Work Hard, Have Fun, Love Unconditionally.� He was always brave, especially over the past six weeks as he battled aggressive cancer. He departed the same way he lived, on his terms, as he passed peacefully at his home, surrounded by his family.

Wally was born William Wallace Ogdahl to Ted and Jeane Ogdahl in Salem, Oregon. There he excelled in wrestling and football at South Salem High School and went on to Oregon State University, joining Phi Delta Theta fraternity and receiving two varsity letters for OSU�s nationally ranked wrestling team. He made many life-long friends at OSU, including his wife of 45 years, Janet Field Ogdahl.

After OSU, Wally enlisted in the USMC Officer�s Training Program and saw intense military action as a Forward Point Observer in Vietnam in 1969. There he earned a Bronze Star and retired with the rank of Captain. Wally once said that, �If he was going to serve, he was going to serve 110%.� In everything he did, Wally had a plan and successfully completed it. While in the Marines he reconnected with his future wife, Janet Field.

Married and out of the service, Wally enrolled at the Willamette University School of Law in 1971. After graduating, he joined the law firm Bedingfield, Joelson, Barron and Gould in Coos Bay. A few years later he moved to Salem where he joined long time friend Paul Ferder to form a joint law practice. He continued to practice law in Salem for 37 years.

Living life to the fullest was something that Wally did effortlessly. He most enjoyed the OSU Beavers, the friends and community of Neskowin, golf adventures with buddies at Illahee, racquetball and workouts at the South Courthouse, dancing and parties, wild laughter, sharing memorable (often embellished) stories and life lessons, and mostly spending time with his family, especially his three grandsons.

Wally was particularly proud of his family, including son Toby (Elisha) Ogdahl and daughter Katy (Kelly) Naff and their grandchildren Jagger & Jett Ogdahl, and Orion Naff all of Salem. Wally is also survived by his brother Greg (Toni) Ogdahl of Salem and sister Tracey (Alex) Valley of Bend.

Lorraine Lee Bergen

September 20 1920 - August 21 2015

SALEM -Lorraine Bergen went home to be with the Lord on August 21, 2015, while hospitalized. She was one month short of her much anticipated 95th birthday. Born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, she was the older of two children of Walter and Jocie O`Quinn Kohler.

Following graduation from high school and business school, she married her childhood friend, Elwood H. Bergen. When their son was 10 months old, Elwood volunteered and served the next two years in the Navy during World War II while Lorraine, like so many other war wives, became a working mother. After raising their two children, they continued to live and work in the greater St. Louis area until retiring to Salem in 1979. With a very sharp and analytical mind, Lorraine worked in a variety of jobs over 40 years including secretary; bank employee; assistant high school librarian; and assistant middle school librarian. At the time of her retirement, she was Assistant Director of Student Aid and Financial Assistance for a private religious college.

In retirement, as with her employment, Lorraine always volunteered where she could be of service to others. She and Elwood worked for more than 20 years with the Meals on Wheels program at senior centers in Salem and Keizer, helping to set up for the meals. For many years after Elwood�s death, she continued to regularly serve with her friend, Walter �Ed� Seamster.

Lorraine had a spine of steel and a heart of gold. She was Elwood`s primary caregiver through two years of cancer, nursing him at home until 3 days before his death. After Elwood died January 20, 2001, she became a regular with the hospice program. In the `widows and widowers` group, she met Ed, another wonderful man, nine years her senior, who had lost his wife after 63 years of marriage. When Lorraine was 90 years old, she provided end-of-life care for her friend Ed during his lengthy battle with cancer. Following his passing, she was a regular at the senior centers in Salem and Keizer and was very active until a few months ago when she had to give up driving and move to Lancaster Village.

Church and her faith were always a major part of her life. Lorraine and Elwood joined the Salem First Church of the Nazarene in 1979. They had many wonderful years of travel with their fellow church members. Lorraine attended Sunday School and church there until recently and was baptized again in 2014. In the past four years since Ed�s death, she has also attended other churches on the weekend, including Cornerstone Baptist Church, where she felt a family connection.

Lorraine was preceded in death by her parents; her younger brother Walter �Buddy� (Alice) Kohler; a stillborn grandson; and Elwood Bergen, her husband of 60 years. She is survived by her son Robert `Bob` and daughter-in-law Virginia `Ginny` Bergen and daughter Marion and son-in-law Jim Crews. She was a very devoted grandmother to her four grandchildren � Robert `Rob` (Suzanne) Bergen; Jeffrey `Jeff` (Jennifer) Crews; Sheri (Paul) Crews Templar; and Jennifer (Griffin) Bergen Wright. She is also survived by 11 great-grandchildren and 2 great-great grandchildren.

In accordance with Lorraine�s previously stated wishes, there will be no funeral but a Celebration of Life Memorial Service will be held. Please join the family on Monday, September 21 at 2:00 pm at Salem Church of the Nazarene, 1550 Market St. NE, to celebrate the life of Lorraine Bergen.

July 31 1918 - August 13 2015

Herald was the first of six child born to George and Emma Haskell. He received Jesus as his Lord and Savior at an early age, and dedicated his life to serving Him. Herald graduated from Northwest Christian College (now Northwest Christian University), Eugene, Oregon, in 1946. He did graduate studies at Butler University and the University of Oregon.

He married Wilma W. Sargent on November 24, 1943, and celebrated 71 years of marriage last year. Herald and Wilma had 4 children; Herald Sargent, Rebecca Louise, Jonathan Lee, and Timothy James.

His life was occupied with being a father, husband, minister, professor, teacher and a true friend to all who knew him. Herald served churches in, Garibaldi, OR, Colfax, IN, several churches in the Minneapolis area, as well as, White Bear Lake, MN, Eugene, OR, Everett, WA, Twin Falls, ID, Elgin, Jefferson and Crabtree, OR. He was a professor of speech and homiletics at Minnesota Bible College from 1953 to 1967.

He was an avid sports fan and participant. His `windmill` softball pitching was intimidating to batters, and a beauty to behold. He perfected the `skip-step` approach in bowling resulting in fewer gutter balls and some strikes! At Minnesota Bible College he was known as `Happy Haskell`. His friends called him `Hap`. He drank his coffee `black` and always stirred it with a spoon until it was drinking temperature. He could also click his heels, and often did just to amuse his children.

Herald�s priorities were his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, love for his wife, Wilma, and family, and his fellowship with people. He was a people person and always saw the best in everyone he met.

These priorities carried over into his ministry. He loved people and loved to preach. His desire was the desire of his Lord; 'that all would come to repentance', and that 'everyone who calls upon the Name of the Lord would be saved'.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Wilma, and son Jon. He is survived by his children, Sarge, Becki, Tim, and their spouses, Barbara, Jim, and Christa. Of his five siblings he is survived by his sisters, Verla, Ella Mae, and Lila. In addition, his 9 grandchildren, his 13 great grandchildren, and 1 great, great grandchild will miss him.

Herald is now reunited with his mom and dad, wife, son, his brother and sister (Nathan, Francis), as well as a 'great cloud of witnesses', and his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He was certainly greeted into heaven with the words, 'Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of your Master'.

His long life, with all its trials and hardships, is now concluded. He fought the good fight, he has finished his course, and he has kept the faith. His faith sustained him and gave his life meaning. We will miss him here, but we have the hope that we will see him soon, as we embrace the faith in Jesus Christ by which he lived. Herald is not dead. He is alive forevermore.

Jack Riley

April 21 1928 - April 12 2015

Jack was born in Owensville, Indiana, the 11th of 12 children. His parents were William and Maude Tapley Riley. The Riley family was extraordinarily poor. They were a family of sharecroppers who lived in a small cabin and farmed watermelons, corn, and tomatoes for the landowner. They would also take their mule hitched to a wagon filled with produce to town to try to earn some extra wages for themselves. Although poor, they knew that their family was most valuable in life.

When he was sixteen, Jack joined his brother, John by moving to Oregon, where John recently settled after WWII. This was a great adventure for Jack. When he was 21, it was time to serve his country and Jack soon found himself in Korea. As a Sergeant First Class, Jack served as a combat infantry medic. During this time, he earned two Bronze Service Stars. Jack was an American patriot and hero.

After Jack left Korea he was stationed at Madigan Army Hospital in Tacoma, Washington. While there, he was set up on a blind date with a young lady, Betty Luttig. Once discharged from the Army, Jack knew he would return to Oregon. To avoid Betty driving on HWY 99 by herself to visit (as I-5 had yet to be built), on July 2, 1952, those crazy kids married after knowing each other three short months and then made the move to Oregon. They had two loving daughters, Diana (Miller) and Jacqueline (Stoner), grandchildren Kerrie (Derek), Kim (Matt), Matthew (Vicky), and Elizabeth, and great grandchildren Savana, Mason, Riley and Blake. Jack`s best friend and son-in-law is Col. John Stoner (Ret.). Jack also had many pups including Russell, Queenie and Rosie. Everyone loved these parents and grandparents dearly, and learned the lesson instilled in Jack so long ago, that family is most valuable in life. Beyond his family mentioned above, Jack had many nieces and nephews.

Jack served his community as Commander of the local VFW Post 661 and became a lifetime member of the VFW and the American Legion Post 0009. He was also a successful business owner, and a supervisor for Salem Area Mass Transit District.

Upon retirement, Jack and Betty enjoyed traveling across the country in their RV. Again, you never knew what these crazy kids would do.

Jack recently became a member of the Catholic Church, which gave him extraordinary comfort in his final days. The family is forever grateful to Fr. Gary Zerr for his prayers and support.

Services will take place at St. Edward Catholic Church on Saturday, April 18 at 12:30pm followed by lunch and interment.

Kenneth George Gaskin

December 26 1939 - December 5 2014

On Friday, Dec. 5, 2014, Ken passed peacefully into the arms of the Lord, at home and surrounded by the ones he loved. He had fought a two year-long battle with cancer and was ready for this rest.

Born to William and Dorothy Gaskin in London, Ontario, Canada, Ken was raised in a loving home with sister Marjorie and brothers Bob and Brien. Early on in his childhood, Ken picked up a guitar, and his natural talent and love of music became a driving force in his life.

At a young age, Ken set off from Canada for San Francisco. He worked for many years as a printer for a California newspaper by day, and continued playing his music in his off hours. He became a husband and father during this time, and delighted in his children.

Ken married Ruby Gaskin in 1985, and their newly-blended family combined seven children together into one large and busy household. The family moved to Salem, Ore., in 1992, where Ken began working for Fairview Training Center. He retired in 2002, and enjoyed his free time with Ruby, his children and grandchildren.

As the years passed his love of performing reemerged, and in his last seven years, Ken had begun singing and playing his guitar under the name `Kowboy Ken` at a few senior living centers in Salem. His reputation preceded him, and toward the end of his life, he had a full performance calendar at many centers throughout the Willamette Valley. He played the songs he (and his audience) loved - classic country and western numbers by Hank Snow, Hank Williams and Johnny Cash, as well as old gospel tunes. A natural performer, Ken brought humor and warmth to every show and loved and appreciated his audiences.

His most ardent fans, however, were his family. They will miss his laughter, his support, his kindness, and his love. They will also miss that beautiful, unique voice and the music he brought into all of their lives. They take comfort in knowing his song continues in heaven and look forward to hearing it again someday.

A service is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 13, 2014, at City View Funeral Home, 390 Hoyt St. S., Salem, Ore., 97302. All are welcome.
