Nehalem mayor dies of stroke
OBITUARIES
Shirley Kalkhoven an ‘irreplaceable’ public servant
NEHALEM — Nehalem
Mayor and longtime public
servant Shirley Kalkhoven, 87,
has died. She was found unre-
sponsive in her home Monday
and was rushed to Providence
Seaside Hospital, where doc-
tors determined she had suf-
fered a stroke, according to
local news reports.
“I have served several may-
ors in my 25 years, and she was
everything a mayor should be
and more,” Nehalem City Man-
ager Dale Shafer said. “She’s
going to be irreplaceable.”
Kalkhoven served as the
city’s mayor for 10 years and
served on the Nehalem City
Council for 10 years before
that. In August, the state of
Oregon honored her with the
Mayor’s Leadership Award, for
which Shafer nominated her.
Kalkhoven’s civic roles
and accomplishments are ex-
tensive.
She was the immediate past
president of the Oregon May-
or’s Association and a past
president of the League of Or-
egon Cities. She was a mem-
ber of the Northwest Regional
Solutions Advisory Council
and Chairwoman of the Tilla-
mook County Futures Council.
In addition, she had been
the chairwoman of the North-
west Area Commission on
Transportation since 2007,
chairwoman of the League of
Oregon Cities Water Waste-
water Policy Committee, a
member of the League of Or-
egon Cities Transportation
Committee and a member of
the Board of Col-Pac Econom-
ic Development Commission,
representing Tillamook Coun-
ty small cities, according to
Shafer’s nomination letter.
The list goes on.
“She was a tiger,” State
Sen. Betsy Johnson (D-Scap-
poose) wrote in an email to a re-
porter. “The 17th Street Pier is a
result of Shirley’s participation
in the Connect Oregon process.
There was a deep connection
between Astoria and Shirley’s
work on transportation. Tilla-
mook County has lost a fero-
cious advocate on transporta-
tion and other issues.”
“She is one of the most
amazing women that I have
ever known,” said her friend
Tillamook County Commis-
sioner Mark Labhart. He noted
how rare it is for a person in
her 80s to be as “active and vi-
brant and engaged in her com-
munity, in her county and in
her state” as was Kalkhoven.
“I wish we could all strive to
achieve what she has done, to
be as active as she has been.”
A memorial service will be
held at the Port of Tillamook
%D\ 2I¿FHUV 0HVV +DOO LQ
Tillamook at 1 p.m. Sunday.
Waud’s Funeral Home is in
charge of the arrangements.
“It’s a sad day for Tilla-
mook County.” Labhart said.
“We’ve lost a great leader for
Oregon.”
