FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2016 THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS — 9 Local & Entertainment Bebe’s word search — Obituaries — CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 Hilda Salma Shold Yantis Lee Stayton, 1922-2016 She was a member of the United Methodist Church of Stayton where she played the piano, organ, and arranged fl owers for services. She was a 66-year member of PEO (Chapter EU), led numerous Boy/ Girl Scout and Camp Fire clubs, and served on the local arts committee. She was named First Citizen of Stayton in 2003. Hilda was an avid gar- dener and her home was featured on many garden tours. She knew the scien- tifi c names of all the fl ow- ers and willingly shared her plants with others. Her love of fl owers started in college as she and EOCE’s Nature Club would hike mountains picking fl ow- ers to press. Later, she would be known for her dried fl ower wreaths and arrangements. She would also preserve, freeze and dry vegetables and fruits. She enjoyed life and led by example—eating healthy, being gracious, and always tolerant. You can still hear her say: “If you do not have something nice to say about someone, don’t say it.” Hilda was always doing for others, always giving and forgiv- ing. Education was very im- portant to Hilda. She was encouraged by her mother to constantly learn more. Even though they lived miles from civilization, her mother always had maga- zines to keep her informed about the world. Hilda was the leader of EOCE branch of the Association for Childhood Education. All of her children went to college and many received advanced degrees. She inspired some of her children & grandchildren to be teachers, though some were inspired to be farmers and nutritionists. At 93, she was doing crossword puzzles, jumble words and reading new au- thors. PEO was important to her partly because of the scholarships that they give to women. Traveling with family was a joy to Hilda: Going to The Ranch in Richland; Fourth of July family reunions at the beach or Blakely Island; Camp- ing out in the mountains of Oregon and the Grand Tetons; Showing her four girls Norway and Europe; Sojourning to Alaska where her daughter, Diane, and family lived; Travel- ling to Singapore with her brother, Walt; Visiting her Mikey & Deb in Thailand (Riding an elephant at age 82); Heading to West Palm Beach, Tulsa, and Chicago to watch her granddaughter compete; Checking out the Panama Canal; Going to ski Resorts in Canada and the Northwest for after- Christmas fun. She married Richard A Yantis in 1946 and until his death in 1960, together raised fi ve children. In 1962 she married Robert E Lee and moved to Stayton, adding his three children to her brood. He died later that same year. Survivors include: children Sandy Kuykend- all, Mike Yantis, Suzanne Fry, Christy Huddleston, and Tim Yantis and their spouses; step-children Robert Lee and Diane Brenner; daughter-in-law Debbie Lee; sister-in- law, Lela Shold; eighteen grandchildren; fourteen great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces, nephews and their spouses. She is preceded in death by her parents, her brothers Grant and Walter Shold, her sis- ter Addaline Robinson, her husbands, and her step-son Doug Lee. Funeral arrangements are by Weddle Funeral Home and condolences can be made at Weddle-Funeral. com. A celebration of life will be to at United Meth- odist Church in Stayton on November 20, 2016 at 1:30 p.m.. In lieu of fl owers the family would appreciate donations to the United Methodist Church of Stay- ton in her honor. The Littles’ crossword puzzle County Commission Session CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 Ed Hardt said he believes that the 911 Dispatch services should be left as they are because he doesn’t see issues with them, and Chuck Chase said he doesn’t understand why the County would allow the City to manage County services, while the County incurs any liability. Several more attendees The voiced opinions about the proposed agreement, posi- tive and negative, includ- ing 911 Board member Debi Dugan, who said that the progress in provided services can’t be allowed to be derailed, citing the lack of communication, for example, 14 years ago. She said she has issues with the imbalance of pay- ments for services versus the provided services, with the City versus the outly- ing areas. Warner, Jr. said that he doesn’t see major issues with the proposed agree- ment, and it will be pre- sented again to the County once it’s signed by City Council, with more public input to follow. The discussion was continued to the next work session on Wednesday, December 14, 2016, 9 a.m., with a motion from Bennett and a second from Kerns. Baker County Press Subscribe Today!
