Clarice Street 

Clarice Eunice Street, 92, a longtime Baker City resident, died March 27,
2002, at Elkhorn Village. 

Her funeral was April 1. 

Clarice was born Jan. 3, 1910, near Cherokee, Okla., to Eunice McDowell Wells
and Joseph Ellsworth Wells. She lived in a two-story home her father built
over a spring so they could have running water in the home. In 1916 Clarice
left Oklahoma with her parents; her three sisters, Ollia, Lulla and Daisey;
and her two brothers, Joe and Dan. The family drove in a Model T Ford to
Ontario, where they operated a dairy farm. 

Clarice moved to Long Beach, Calif., in 1927, where she worked in her Aunt
Amanda's restaurant. She met and married Robert K. Street Sr. in 1928. She and
Robert moved with their three-month-old son, Robert Jr., to the Street Ranch
in 1930. 

Clarice loved people. She often had numerous church outings, sledding parties,
corn roasts, lawn games, outdoor church and potluck dinners at the Street
Ranch. She loved going to church. She was a Dorcus Leader, visited homes,
passed out Thanksgiving baskets, Gathered, and worked in children's
departments decorating and cleaning. She had a knowledge of healing using
rest, fresh air and natural remedies which she applied to her own life as well
as helping others. 

Clarice is survived by her sons, Robert K. Street and his wife, Alice, of
Baker City, and William D. Street and his wife, Kathy, of Portland; seven
grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; two great-great-grandchildren; and
numerous nieces and nephews. 

She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, three sisters and two
brothers.
