They moved to Springfield, Ore. for Ron to once again work in the woods as the local mill was shutting down. Their 3 children Va- lerie, Ginger and Dusty were her pride and joy. Debbie worked from 1991 for the Springfield School District most of which was at Brattain Elementary as an As- sistant and Librarian where she retired in June of 2016, a few months after her cancer diagnosis. Debbie loved to read books to any child, she missed reading and sharing quality time with her students and facul- ty when she retired. Debbie enjoyed spending exten- sive time reading to her grandchildren, especially bedtime stories where she could snuggle up and fall asleep with them in grandma and grandpas huge bed! Ron and Debbie moved back to South Wasco Coun- ty and settled in Pine Hollow in 2016 closer to beloved friends and family. Debbie is survived by her mother Carol Smith, 2 sisters Colleen Gregson and Shari Var- danega (her best friend in the world), her husband of 43 years Ronald Hayes and their 3 amazing children Valerie White, Ginger Hayes and Dusty Hayes who blessed her with 6 incredible grandchildren whom she loved to spoil.

In lieu of flowers donations can be made to LUNGevity Founda- tion care of the Hayes Family. Edythe Eileen Ryf was the fourth of six children bor n to John Ryf and Gladys Marguerite (Clark) Ryf. She was born May 28, 1932, in Ridgefield, Wash., Eileen died December 18, 2019, in Baker City, Ore. Her childhood was full of sibling antics, school par- ties and dances, picking strawberries, and a deep love of family. Eileen graduated from Ridgefield High School and went on to earn her teach- ing degree from Central Washington College in El- lensburg, Wash. It was on a double-date during her college years in Ellensburg, where she met a fine young man, George Moreau – who was her friend Betty’s date – and the rest, as they say, was history. George and Eileen were married June 11, 1955, in Seattle, Wash., where Eileen was teaching second grade. The young teacher invited her entire class to the wedding, where the happy students occupied the front pew. George and Eileen first resided on the fam- ily ranch in Ellensburg. Later, an opportunity came about for the couple to stake their claim in Moro, Ore., where the Moreau Family then lived until 2016. Two daughters were born to George and Eileen; Julee Ann and Jill Marie. Eileen taught in a number of the elementary schools in Sherman County, but is probably best re- membered for her role as the 5th-6th grade teacher in Rufus. Eileen was involved with her church, 4-H, and numerous community boards, including a reign as Moro’s mayor. She also was appointed by Gov. Vic Atiyeh to the Fair Dismissal Appeals Board for the State of Oregon. Preceding Eileen in death were her parents, John and Gladys Ryf, four siblings; John, Rose Marie, Clif- ford and Phyllis, and Eileen’s daughter Jill who died in 1983 and husband George, passing in 1991. Eileen is survived by her brother, Ed Ryf and his wife Ellen; brother-in-law Frank Moreau; sisters-in- law Marene Morrison and Frankie Melvin; daughter Julee and her husband David Hicks; grandchildren Annelle Hicks, and William Hicks and Will’s wife, Lindsey (Timmons) Hicks. Recitation of the Rosary will be held at 9:30 a.m. on January 2, 2020, with a Mass of Christian Burial at 10 a.m. at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Wasco, Ore., 807 Barnett Street Wasco, Oregon 97065.

Visit www.AndersonsTributeCenter.com to leave a note of condolence for the family. David Childs, 96, passed away at his home in The Dalles, Ore., on December 23, 2019, just eleven days short of his 97th birthday. He was born in Heppner, Ore., January 3, 1923, David was raised by his father, whom he adored, on their family farm in northern Gilliam County. He rode his horse six miles every day to the Olex el- ementary school, then attended Arlington High School, where he participated in boxing, basketball, football and excelled in track. He was a member of two state championship football teams, was Salutato- rian of his graduating class, and also played bass drum in the school band. David attended Oregon State College to study agri- cultural engineering, where he met and eventually married Peggy Shelburne of Dayton. Through the ROTC program, he was called to duty soon after Pearl Harbor and spent months in pilot training in various locations around the country, then shipped out short- ly after D-Day as a P-47 replacement pilot for the 9th Air Force 362nd Fighter Group. On his 48th combat mission his plane was shot down by German anti-air- craft fire. He suffered severe injuries and spent the next six months, listed as MIA, in four different Ger- man POW camps. David retired at war’s end with the rank of Captain and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, Purple Heart and Air Medal with 6 oak leaf clusters. His wartime experiences are well chronicled in his book “Wings and Tracks.” After two years of medical care and rehabilitation in southern California, David and Peggy returned to Oregon State to finish their degrees, then moved to Gilliam County to carry on and expand the family farm, raise a family and immerse themselves in com- munity activities. David raised wheat, cattle and quality alfalfa hay, then pioneered in the area with irrigated farming, en- abling him to increase yields and grow more diverse crops. He was named Gilliam County Soil Conserva- tion Farmer of the Year in both 1954 and 1964 and served on a host of ag-related boards and committees. He also had a lifelong interest in water resource is- sues, serving on even more boards and committees, both locally and statewide. He was also active in grange, school board and Arlington Port Commission and served as board member and vice-chair of the Bank of Eastern Oregon. He also served several years on the Mid-Columbia Medical Center Foundation board. In 1988, the couple retired and moved to The Dalles, where David channeled his energies into supporting the Methodist Church, Kiwanis Club and “Lyin’ Fliers” group at the VA home. He was humbled and honored to be a participant on several occasions in The Dalles’ first class Veterans Day parade. David is survived by his beloved wife Peggy; son Chris (Denise) of Silverton, Ore.; daughter Kathleen “Kit” Kamo (Curt) of New Plymouth, Idaho; grandson David Kamo (Rhiannon); and great grandson Kobe. A small service was held on December 24, 2019. The family extends our sincere thanks to the many friends and family who were able to attend David and Peggy’s 77th wedding anniversary party on December 15, 2019 … his “last hurrah.” Memorials may be directed to the Gilliam County Historical Society, P.O.
