2A Wednesday, February 8, 2017 Appeal Tribune OBITUARIES Leslie Winston Conley Doris Helen Kreiger Aug. 14, 1947 — Jan. 29, 2017 Leslie Winston Conley passed away in Salem on Jan. 29, 2017. He was 69. Les was born on Aug. 14, 1947, in Sil- verton to Brunk and Elva Conley. Along the way, he gained additional parents Florence Conley and Bill Partch. In 1968, Les married Elaine Aho, and they welcomed daughters Melissa and Conley Sarah. The couple later amicably di- vorced. In 1981, Les married Kathy Questad, adding an- other daughter Sarah to his family. They later wel- comed their son, Russell. Les was a mailman in Salem and retired from the U.S. Postal Service. He served in the Army in Vietnam. Les coached high school track in Stayton, Silverton, and Mt. Angel, and he was a state champion sprinter him- self in 1964 and 1965. He loved watching girls’ basket- ball, tinkering around the house, golfing, crosswords, reading, news/politics and cheering on the OSU Bea- vers. He had a big heart and was always lending a hand to friends and family in need. Les is preceded in death by his parents, his brothers Leon and Bill, and his nephew Michael. He is survived by wife Kathy; his four children: Me- lissa, Sarah (Greg), Sarah (Jesse), and Russell; grand- children Jake, Maddy, Abby, and Tucker; brothers Butch and Steve (Linda); sisters Susie (Brad) and Shel- ley; cousin-like-a-brother Pat (Marcel); and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews. A celebration of life was held Feb. 6 at the Silverton Assembly of God. Arrangements were by Unger Funer- al Chapel and he was interred at Valley View Cemetery, Silverton. Oct. 1, 1918 — Jan. 26, 2017 Gilliam Doris Helen Kreiger passed peacefully from this world at Heritage House in Woodburn on Jan. 26, 2017, in the lov- ing presence of her family and caregivers. She was 98. Kreiger Kreiger Doris was born Oct. 1, 1918, in Osawatomie, Kansas, the second of the five children to Orie F. and Mabel Bachman Neuensch- wander. Growing up in the town of her birth, Doris at- tended Osawatomie High School, where she played basketball and became GAA (Girls Athletic Associa- tion) president. During the Great Depression, she lat- er recalled, her family was sustained largely on the strength of her father’s stable employment with the railroad. She married Lester H. Liegerot in 1937, and togeth- er they had six children — four daughters and two sons — during their 27 years together. Her marriage marked the end of remaining geo- graphically “planted.” She enjoyed living in many dif- ferent states, and in the course of her long life would visit nearly every state in the continental U.S. But her heart always remained in Kansas, and she was proud to be from the Sunflower State, never losing the dis- tinctive accent that often revealed her origin from America’s Heartland. She married Marvin “Bud” Kreiger in 1972, and to- gether they drove from coast to coast buying an- tiques, which they enjoyed collecting and selling as owners of antique shops in Missouri and California. Doris had many other loves and hobbies. Her inter- ests ranged from gardening to gospel music, and she had both a keen eye and a ready hand for appreciating and maintaining a beautiful, well-ordered home. She always called herself a “plain” cook, but her home- made cloverleaf rolls, and many other family favor- ites, were often featured at large holiday meals. Although it was nothing she boasted of — regarding it as a simple matter of patriotic duty — she also con- tributed, together with many other women of the period who remained “on the home front,” to the victory of the Allied cause in World War II by laboring in the manu- facture of weaponry. She wanted her fellow Americans to never forget the sacrifice rendered by citizens of this country in the war effort. She was preceded in death by her husbands, Lester (1980) and Bud (2013); daughter Jeanne LaNell; son Kenneth Liegerot; granddaughter Katherine Quigg Blake; grandsons Joel Liegerot and Bryan Taylor; great-granddaughter Charlene Neal; sisters Thelma Neuenschwander, Maxine Long, and Betty Neuensch- wander (infant); and brother Kenneth Neuenschwan- der. She is survived by daughter Charlene (Jose) Magana of Hilo, Hawaii, and their son, Norman Quigg, and daughters Kimberly Quigg, Tami Cline, and Tracy Arambula; son Larry (Theresa) Liegerot of Salem, and their son Marc Shahbazian; daughter Janet (Curtis) Smith, and Janet’s son, Robert Palmer, of San Diego, California; daughter Jill (Ferren) Taylor of Silverton, and their sons, Kevin and Adam Taylor, and daughter, Jacquelyn Taylor; grandsons Mark Basso and Jason Liegerot; granddaughters Lisa Basso and Branda Co- rey; twenty-three great grandchildren; seven great- great grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews. Her interment took place at Restlawn Memorial Gardens in Salem. A memorial celebration of her life will be held in the spring. The family of Doris extends its special thanks to the outstanding staff at Heritage House of Woodburn, and Serenity Hospice, for making her final years, and even her final hours, as comfortable as possible. Although Doris loved flowers, she would be happy if readers sent them to Heritage House or to their own local care home for the enjoyment of the residents there. Another thoughtful option would be to share a tal- ent (music, storytelling, or simply listening) with the aged residents in those homes. Continued from Page 1A would end up with a different Republican. In a statement, House Republican Leader Mike McLane, R-Powell Butte, called Gilliam “a wonderful colleague and an even better friend.” “People like Vic are increasingly rare in this world,” McLane said. “While his time in the Legisla- ture has come to a close, I believe his legacy will fill the halls of the Capitol for years to come. He is, and will always be, the embodiment of what it means to be a public servant in Oregon.” House Speaker Tina Kotek, D-Portland, said it was an honor to serve with Gilliam. "We entered the Legislature together in 2007, and he has been the model of a statesman and a true public servant ever since," she said in a statement. "He served his community with honesty and integrity, and he is without a doubt the funniest guy in the Capi- tol." Gilliam is married and has three grown children. In addition to serving as a state representative, he had a 25-year career as a development executive with non-government organizations including Willamette University, Oregon Health & Science University Foundation, International Youth Foundation and Mer- cy Corps. tloew@statesmanjournal.com, 503-399-6779 or fol- low at Twitter.com/Tracy_Loew Assault Continued from Page 1A tionship” with a fellow em- ployee, who was a minor at the time.

The Brekas’s late-1920s vintage auto and comple- menting garb proved to be an ideal photo to illustrate the first flyer the society used. “ Charles Almquist took the picture, and we used this picture on our flyer for the Box Lunch Social,” Jim continued. “The community really embraced it. When I think of all the people involved, how everyone in town got involved…It was so much fun.” Norm added that it also funded the Four Freedoms, essentially launching Silverton’s mural identity. The photo later became a mural completed by Lori Webb in 2000. Building on that identity, and maintaining it, is a major charge of the society. “Most people don’t realize what it takes to maintain the murals,” Jim imparts. “Most of our money goes to that. We’re proud to say they are all dressed up and looking as nice as they can.” That’s especially delightful when entertaining visi- tors, such as the recent visit of Florence Mayor Joe Henry; the Oregon coastal town is crafting an arts commission and considering its own murals, visiting with Silverton Mural Society to get ideas about the pros and cons of the undertaking. In addition to maintaining the murals and consider- ing new ones, the society strives to become more ac- cessible, something helped along with its Facebook page: www.facebook.com/silvertonmuralsociety. “We want to make sure we have a way to put our- selves out there and engage with people,” Jim said, noting that he, Norm and fellow society 2017 board members Marsha Worthen and Beth Negrey have been fielding from 60 to 70 messages a month. The most salient method of engagement is inherent to the work, and a cruise through Silverton while ad- miring the sides of buildings is visual proof. A mural membership meeting, including goal set- ting, will take place at 7 p.m. Feb. 9, at the Silverton Mobile Home Park club house, 1307 S. Water St. Con- tact Jim at 503-509-0592 or jdsquires@waveca- ble.com. Jim also noted that Canyon View Camp is celebrat- ing a 50-year anniversary, and part of that is the de- sign work for an equestrian-themed mural. While the murals provide illustrative visions of Sil- verton’s past, Silverton Area Seniors are setting sights to a “Focus on the Future” campaign, in which they intend to explore ways to make the Silverton Sen- ior Center and its activities more friendly and acces- sible to a broader reach of the community. The Feb. 4 community volunteer fair, “Giving Back,” coincided with that aim, as will other upcom- ing events and activities. Dodie said the seniors are examining possible changes, including lowering age restrictions (cur- rently 60) and availing the center’s facilities to a broader range of groups. They are also looking at ac- tivities, classes and programs that cater to a broader age range. She said any changes that may surface will come about in April when there’s a board vote. The center-hosted Sweetheart Dance will feature the Vintage Boys, 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 12, at the center, 115 Westfield St., and it’s open to all ages. Cost is $5 for singles and $7 for couples. Connie is especially enthusiastic about an April event on the slate: “Design Your Own Hawaiian Quilt!” April 17-20. The background for this special event is seeded in a series of novels Connie and a friend were reading, all of which included Hawaiian quilting in the story themes. Inspired, she attended a quilting retreat in Washington conducted by Nancy Lee Chong. Connie learned something about herself in the process. The Silverton resident never regarded herself as particularly artistic, though others in her family have shown talent. The retreat helped change that percep- tion, and the product of that change materialized be- fore her hands with her own quilted creation. “It’s such a high have this, to have some sort of cre- ative ability,” she said, while hoisting her creation. “It’s been a life changer.” Dodie confirmed: “Her enthusiasm has been conta- gious.” That enthusiasm will be shared at the senior center via the 4-day workshop. Connie explained that one appeal to her of the Ha- waiian quilting approach is that it’s especially hands on in that sewing machines are not used. The work- shop will include a lecture on the history, traditions and superstitions of Hawaiian quilts. Other pieces of the week will include a luau held in cooperation with Silverton High School’s culinary JUSTIN MUCH/APPEAL TRIBUNE Jim Squires, left, and Norm English discus Silverton’s murals during a Creekside Chat at Silver Creek Coffee House. arts students, and ukulele players. Connie and Dodie feel the timing for this type of event is just right as they noted the Oregon Garden’s has previously hosted a quilting event that is no longer held. Connie welcome's anyone who would like to learn more about it to contact her at 503-989-1473 or conbrk12@gmail.com. The unique April event is a taste of what the Senior Center hopes to host in the future. “The Senior Center has had a lot of support from the community in so many ways – in donations of money, in donations of time,” Dodie said. “The community has given so much to the Senior Center, and the center wants to give something back as it changes with the community.” Keep abreast with Silverton Senior Center activities at silvertonseniorcenter.org or contact 503-873-3093, dodiebreockamp@gmail.com.
