Aurora M. Perez
July
17,
1938 — Aug.
22, 2016
Our be-
loved moth-
er, grand-
mother, sis-
ter, and lovely wife of Os-
car Perez passed away on
Aug. 22, 2016. She lived a
full and accomplished life
of 78 years as a devoted
Catholic believer. She is
survived by her 11 chil-
dren, 39 grandchildren, 25
great-grandchildren, her
husband of 63 years,
many wonderful care pro-
viders, and many friends
and acquaintances.
Her home was decorat-
ed inside and out with
many religious items dis-
playing her faith such as
statues of God, Jesus and
Mary, Angels, flowers, ro-
saries, holy candles, and
mostly pictures of her
family members, which
she cherished the most.
She also loved visiting
churches, holy shrines
and places of worship like
Mt. Angel Abbey and the
Grotto National Sanctu-
ary.
Her true passion was
spending time with fam-
ily, especially holding and
caring for babies and chil-
dren. Along with raising
her children, she cared
for many family mem-
bers and friends with all
her heart. We will always
keep in our hearts the
many fond memories as
children growing up in a
busy home that was al-
ways over-crowded with
grandparents,
cousins,
aunts, uncles, neighbors,
friends, pets, many toys,
and most of all, the won-
derful smells of her deli-
cious cooking and baking
for us all.
Her greatest gift was
her love and dedication to-
wards caring for her fam-
ily and her husband. She
will be greatly missed and
always remembered by
all who knew her.
Funeral Mass was held
at St. Paul Catholic
Church. Arrangements
with Unger Funeral Cha-
pel.
Charles “Chuck”
Ernest Stadeli Jr.
July
12,
1952 — Aug.
19, 2016
Chuck
was a lov-
ing father
to
his
daughters Tami, Kristine,
Kate, Elisa, Tessa, and Da-
nika, and an adoring
grandfather to Amy and
Ryan. He lived 64 vibrant
years in the Silverton
area. He died unexpected-
ly in a tragic accident
while working in his shop.
Preceding him in death
were his parents, Charlie
Sr. and Verna (Kaufman),
and nephew Bradley Jen-
sen.
Chuck loved Harley
riding, fishing, working
on anything with a motor,
racing, playing guitar and
singing, live music, mak-
ing grandma’s strawber-
ry rhubarb pie, and push-
ing around dirt while
tending to his property.
He especially loved shar-
ing these things with his
family.
The oldest of 13 kids
with 30-plus nieces and
nephews who sure loved
their “Uncle Yuck,” he
was related to at least half
of the town, and friends
with the other half. He
was unapologetic about
being himself, and will be
remembered most for
how deeply he loved and
how quickly he would lend
a helping hand. Chuck fol-
lowed in his father’s foot-
steps, eventually taking
over the family business
as a well driller. He great-
ly enjoyed his work,
drilled his first solo well
at age 15, and was a long
time member and past
president of OGWA. So-
briety was one of his
greatest
accomplish-
ments, and over 26 years
he frequently sponsored
others through AA, and
was always willing to help
another.
A
celebration
of
Chuck’s life took place
Aug. 24 at Emmanuel Bi-
ble Church, where Chuck
was a member. Arrange-
ments with Unger Funer-
al Chapel.

Events offer respite from summer heat
Despite the 104-de-
gree heat, the Mt. Angel
Telephone staff served
around 1,000 lunches to
attendees during its Cus-
tomer Appreciation Day
Celebration Friday.
“We had 14 different
non-profits in attendance
including Habitat for Hu-
manity, Lion’s Health
Screening Van, Alzheim-
er Network, the Friends
of the Library, Salem
Keizer Transit, the His-
torical
Society
and
more,” noted Amy Russ,
Mt. Angel Telephone’s
product marketing man-
ager.
The Mt. Angel Fire
Department hosted its
annual Bike Rodeo, the
Mt. Angel Fire Depart-
ment and Marion County
Sheriff’s office also had
booths there at the event.
The Oregon Army Na-
tional Guard brought in a
30-foot climbing wall for
anyone to try out, and
free face painting and
airbrush tattoos delight-
ed children and adults
alike.
