2B Wednesday, April 12, 2017 Appeal Tribune OBITUARIES Eleanor Louise Hento Nov. 10, 1928 — April 1, 2017 Sur- rounded by her family, Eleanor Louise (Prouty) Hento passed away peacefully on April 1, 2017 in Keizer. The daughter of Charles “Chuck” and Stel- la Prouty, Eleanor was born in Moscow, Idaho, on Nov. 10, 1928. Her family (her parents and three brothers) lived in Pull- man, Washington, where her father was a professor at Washington State Uni- versity and her mother was a homemaker. Elea- nor graduated from Pull- man High School in 1946 and then entered Wash- ington State University, where she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in home economics in 1950. She was active in the Kap- pa Kappa Gamma Soror- ity at Washington State and stayed in contact with many of her sorority sis- ters throughout her entire life, attending many re- unions and other Kappa functions. After graduating from college, Eleanor became a 4-H Home Extension Agent. In 1951, she met her future husband, Ernie Hento, in Davenport, Washington, through mu- tual friends. They were married on Nov. 21, 1952. Ernie and Eleanor had two children, Larry and She- ryl. They lived in Daven- port for nine years before deciding in 1961to move to Silverton, where Ernie bought the local Western Auto Store. Eleanor helped Ernie at the store for a number of years while the kids were grow- ing up. In 1971, when she knew that her children would soon go off to col- lege, she decided to go back to school at OCE (Oregon College of Edu- cation, which is now WOU) in Monmouth to get her teaching credentials. In 1972, she got a teaching job at Robert Frost Ele- mentary School in Silver- ton, teaching fifth grade. She taught there for 15 years until her retirement in 1987. Eleanor was a gifted musician. She not only had a beautiful singing voice, but she also played the flute, the piccolo and the piano. While living in Silverton, Eleanor was ac- tive in the United Method- ist Church choir and also instructed their bell choir for several years. She also sang in the Salem Chapter of Sweet Adelines for a number of years and had very fond memories of her time singing with them. Eleanor loved to travel and, after retiring, she particularly enjoyed going to elder hostels in various parts of the U.S. in her quest for further learning experiences. Ad- ditionally, after retire- ment she learned to play golf and played as often as she could. And while she couldn’t hit the ball real far, it always went straight as an arrow down the fairway! In her later years, she and Ernie lived in the Wil- lamette View Manor Re- tirement Community in Portland (where both of her parents had lived af- ter they retired). In late 2014, Eleanor and Ernie moved to Keizer to be closer to their son and daughter and their fam- ilies. Eleanor is preceded in death by her husband, Er- nie; her parents; and her brothers, Gordon and Raymond. She is survived by her brother, Richard “Dick” (Shirley) Prouty; son Larry (Sharon); daughter Sheryl (Tom) Bauer; and grandchildren Nathan (Amy) and Nick (Cindy) Bauer, and Erin and Lauren Hento; and great granddaughters, Charlotte Rae and Amelia Anne Bauer. The family would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the staff at The Arbor at Avamere in Keiz- er for the kindness and wonderful loving care they provided to both of our parents over the last two and a half years. A celebration of Elea- nor’s life will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, April 22, at McNary Golf Course, 155 McNary Es- tates Drive N in Keizer.

Timothy Lee Frank Alan Roland Kuenzi Feb. 15, 1940 — March 31, 2017 In the evening of March 31, 2017, Alan Ro- land Kuenzi went to be with the Lord. Alan Kuenzi was born in Silverton on Feb. 15, 1940, to his parents of Swiss descent, Roland and Matilda Kuenzi. He grew up on a farm on Hib- bard Road with his two sisters, and attended the one room “Willard School.” Alan married Jo- anne Halleman in 1962 and they had three chil- dren: Debbie, Susan, and Timothy. Later when he was again single, God blessed Alan with a godly wife and partner, Helen Cerkowniak. Alan and Helen married on May 2, 1981, and they shared many years together on the farm. Alan loved farming and working the land with his family. His favorite time was the harvest. He grew grass seed, straw- berries, meadow foam and other crops. He loved reforestation and also grew Christmas trees for many years. Alan and Hel- en enjoyed showing God’s love to others by giving them firewood or helping out in other ways. Despite serious inju- ries from a tractor acci- dent in the early 70s, Alan farmed all of his career and even while fighting colon cancer, he was out building fences on the hill for his herd of goats and splitting wood. Alan mod- eled resilience and cre- ativity, and his faith was very central to his life. He loved to read the Bible and read it through many times. Alan commented that as he read Isaiah and other books of the Bible, he loved how God brings things from chaos to something beautiful. He had a precious hope and a deep love for God. Alan was proud of his Swiss heritage and loved his family and church deeply. Alan and Helen were active members of Immanuel’s Reformed Church in Salem. Thanks to his hope in Christ, he has transitioned into the presence of Jesus, where suffering will exist no more. Survivors include Alan’s wife, Helen, and his three children: Debbie MacConnel, Susan Kuenzi (Jerry) Sabin, and Tim (Mary) Kuenzi. Alan’s grandchildren include Roland (Chelsey) Kuenzi, Sophia (Andy) Walz, Gil- bert Kuenzi, Anthony Kuenzi, Sarah Kuenzi, and Trevor Nugent. Alan has one surviving sister, Lin- da Miner. Visitation was held April 6. A memorial ser- vice was held Saturday, April 8, at the Immanuel’s Reformed Church in Sa- Dec. 20, 1966 — March 31, 2017 Timothy Lee Frank, 50, of Gresham, passed away March 31. Tim was be- ing treated for pancreatic cancer and died from complications related to pneumonia. He was born in Port- land on Dec. 20, 1966, to Ronald (now deceased) and Gillian Frank. Tim lost his hearing at age 1. He graduated from the Oregon School for the Deaf in 1986. He was the class salutatorian. He played basketball and football, and ran track. He helped his high school track team win the Ore- gon State Track and Field Championship his senior year. To see Tim’s amaz- ing run in the 1600-meter relay, visit Inside Track Film’s page on Facebook or go to www.insidetrack- film.com. While attending Che- meketa Community Col- lege, Tim was recruited by Boeing, where he worked as a machinist for 29 years. Tim was proud to work at Boeing and was loved and respected by his colleagues. Tim enjoyed hunting and fishing. He enjoyed coordinating and attend- ing the Perch Derby Tour- nament every year with his friends in the deaf community. He was hard- working, funny, generous, and would do anything for his friends and family. His strength and fortitude were never more appar- ent than during this last battle he fought. He was positive and kept his sense of humor even through the toughest times of his last few weeks. Tim will be loved and respected by all who knew him. He is survived by his daughters, Sarah, Laken and Kaitlyn Frank; his mother, Gillian Frank; his sisters Lisa Summers and Tabitha Adolphson, and their children.

Governors ask feds for heads-up on pot policy JONATHAN BACH STATESMAN JOURNAL Gov. Kate Brown and three other governors are asking the federal gov- ernment to talk with them first before making moves on pot policy. The Oregon Democrat joined governors from Alaska, Washington and Colorado in signing a letter addressed to U.S At- torney General Jeff Ses- sions and Treasury Secre- tary Steve Mnuchin. All four states allow recre- ational marijuana. Governors in the letter refer to the Cole Memo, an Obama Administration- era memo from then-Dep- uty Attorney General James Cole that outlined the Department of Jus- tice’s policy of allowing recreational and medici- nal marijuana as long as states follow certain guidelines. “Overhauling the Cole Memo is sure to produce unintended and harmful consequences,” the gover- nors say in the letter. “Changes that hurt the regulated market would divert existing marijuana product into the black market and increase dan- gerous activity in both our states and our neighbor- ing states.” The Department of Justice received the letter and is going to review it, according to a spokes- man, though he said the department would de- cline to comment further for the time being. The letter Monday comes as other Oregon politicians have ramped up efforts to defend the state’s marijuana indus- try, which has brought in more than $65 million in state tax revenue so far. Oregon Rep. Earl Blu- menauer and Sen. Ron Wyden last week an- nounced bills that would revamp the way the feder- al government deals with marijuana. Cannabis analytics firm New Frontier Data projects Oregon’s recre- ational marijuana market will be worth approxi- mately $502 million by the end of 2017 and $705 mil- lion by the end of 2020. The Washington, D.C., firm projects the U.S. le- gal marijuana market will be valued at more than $24 billion by 2025.
