A funeral service was held Monday, Feb. 19, at Unger Funeral Chapel. Florence Pajdak Nov. 11, 1915 — Jan. 17, 2018 It is with great sadness we inform you, our be- loved mother has passed Florence at 102 years young. On Pajdak Jan. 17, 2018, Florence passed during the night. She had lived a long and interesting life. Her life began in Seattle in 1915 and was the start of many great and also frightening events. Navigating her way out of post Nazi Germany with her daughter, Suzanne, was an act of brav- ery. Starting from scratch in the U.S. af- ter the war had its challenges, which she met head on. Hard work and dedication was her strength as she settled in Red- wood City, California, and built the fam- ily home with her husband. Florence moved to beautiful Silverton in 2004 to be close to her family. She loved it and lived independently until she was 100 years old. She often told her daughters she had never been happier in her life than the years she spent in Oregon. Flor- ence loved the easier pace, spectacular seasons and abundant natural beauty. We have always been grateful for the peace she felt in her later years. She had frequently, in past years, ex- pressed her feelings that she was ready to move on. It was not her time until re- cently. Up to the end, she enjoyed read- ing, visiting with family, keeping up with current events, socializing at meal- times, playing games and going for a walk in nature in her wheelchair. Her quality of life was comfortable towards the end, and then a tragic fall led to her rapid decline. She will be missed deeply and re- membered frequently when the skies are blue, the sun is warm and the gar- dens are blooming. Many memories will remain in our hearts forever. Florence is survived by her daugh- ters, Joanne Price and Suzanne Adams, and her grandchildren, Evan Wallace, Christian Park, Callan Christman, Char- lotte Ehresman and Eric Pajdak. Donna J. King Feb. 7, 1930 — Feb. 10, 2018 Donna J. King of Mt. Angel died Feb. 10, 2018. She was 88 years old. Donna was born in Phoenix, Arizona, on Feb. 7, 1930. She married Robert J. King in March 1965 and they moved to Molalla with their six children later that month.
