that group for over 30 years.  She was a charter member and past noble grand of 
the Golden Rule Rebekah lodge, a charter member and past Worthy Matron of  
Golden Chair Chapter, Order of Easter Star, and a member of the Malheur County 
Pioneers Association.
In addition to her husband, she is survived by five daughters, Mrs. Norma 
Rasmussen of Portland, Mrs. Erma Lowery of Cambridge, Maryland, Mrs. Mazie Cook 
of Cheyenne, Wyoming, Mrs. Bernice Tate, of Seattle and Hazel Hope a teacher in 
the Vale schools.  She is also survived by four sisters and five grandchildren.
Services, held from the First Christian church of Vale Wednesday afternoon,
