She was raised in Baker City, Oregon where she met and married Ronald Colton on June 1, 1958 in the Cathedral. She graduated from Baker High School in 1960. Lois and Ron made their home in Baker County working on the Colton Ranch for many years where she was a partner. There were many memo- rable experiences on the Colton Ranch. One is that she milked the cows and bucket fed the calves the night before her daughter Rhonda was born. Other memories include pulling the hay wagon with her sister-in-law, Wanda to the lambing shed. Raising 27 bummer lambs and 1 baby colt. She worked many years as a checker, bookkeeper and waitress. In the later years, she helped with the Colton Carriage Service. Lois would even help with shoeing the horses and if needed could use the bug- gy whip to get the horses to do what needed to be done, especially when they were being stubborn. Lois enjoyed life to the fullest. She and Ron could be found square dancing with her in-laws Sandy & Howard Payton or playing Crazy 8’s and Pinochle with Gordon and Connie Colton. She enjoyed knit- ting and sewing, exercising and her monthly luncheons with girlfriends Kate, Carolyn, Connie, Toni, Norma Jack the Cat! Lois never lost her sense of humor. She just re- cently admitted to putting a frog in her son Travis’s sleeping bag which was actually his friends bag rather than his. Just a few weeks ago she was plotting her escape from the hospi- tal while being transferred from one room to another with her daughter Chris. She had a special love of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She always talked about her four sons, Travis, Chad, Alan and Toby.

Marian Stratford Hyde Brady Baker City, 1926-2015 Marian Stratford Hyde Brady, 89, longtime resident of Baker City, Or- egon, passed away peace- fully at home in Provo, Utah, on May 24, 2015. Funeral services in Provo were Wednesday, June 3, at 1:00 at the Carterville LDS chapel, 900 West 2150 North. A viewing preceded Woman arrested for preventing arrest the service from 12:00 to 12:45. Funeral services in Baker City will be Fri- day, June 5, Marian at 11:00 at Brady The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints, 2625 Hughes Lane. A viewing will precede the service from 10:00 to 10:45. Vault inter- ment will follow at Mount Hope Cemetery. Marian was born January 24, 1926, at Washington, D.C., the fi rst child of George Osmond and Lona Stratford Hyde. Marian enjoyed a childhood fi lled with experiences unique to her Washington environ- ment. She was perched on her father’s shoulders in the crowd to greet Charles Lindbergh after he returned from his famous solo fl ight across the Atlantic. She learned to walk up steps at the Lincoln Memorial and hunted for Easter eggs on the lawn of the White House. She loved the Japanese cherry trees around the tidal basin in Washington and visited monuments and memorials much as chil- dren elsewhere might go to a neighborhood park. Although Marian grew up during the Great De- pression, her memories of that time were happy ones, fi lled with extended family associations and church activity. Her parents managed to absorb much of the eco- nomic concern of the time to provide their family a sense of stability and secu- rity. Her family’s involve- ment in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints provided spiritual, social, and service oppor- tunities. Marian remained a faithful member of the Church throughout her life. After graduating from high school in 1943, Marian attended Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, majoring in economics. Since the distance was so great and train fares costly, Marian could not go home for the holiday breaks from school. Christmas Day 1945, Marian met Garn Anderson Brady, recently returned from service in the Naval Air Corps, at a dance in Downey, Idaho, where she was visiting her Hyde grandparents. Marian completed her bachelor’s degree in 1947, and the following year she and Garn were married on July 9 at the LDS temple in Logan, Utah. The city girl thus embarked upon the challenging adventure of life as a farmer’s wife and, in time, the mother of fi ve children: Suzanne, Ruth, Scott, Robert, and Rebecca. Except for two years in California, the Bradys lived and farmed in Idaho and Oregon, eventually settling in July 1960 in Baker City, where they also opened the fi rst Arctic Circle Drive-In in Oregon (now Burger Bob’s). The drive-in and farm- ing ventures in Baker City apparently kept them too busy to think about moving again, and the family put down roots there. Garn passed away May 8, 2001, and Marian remained in Baker City until November 2012. During a visit with Rebecca’s family in Provo, Utah, Marian became un- able to walk due to Parkin- son’s disease and needed to remain with them. Her good cheer and determina- tion to fi nd joy in whatever life might bring blessed the lives of a whole new circle of friends and continued to inspire the many family members and long-time friends who visited her there. Marian was preceded in death by an infant grand- son, her parents, and her husband of nearly fi fty- three years. She is survived by her four sisters and one brother, fi ve children, twenty-one grandchildren, and thirty-fi ve great-grand- children. The family is grateful to the staff of Sunrise Home Health and Hospice, whom Marian loved as special helpers and as dear friends. Most Wanted Mary Roberts of Baker City was arrested June 2 for interfering with a peace offi cer. Police were attempted to arrest her husband, Karl Roberts, who ran inside the house and then fl ed, eluding offi cers. Mary Roberts shut and blocked the door allowing the escape, thus resulting in her own arrest. Eagle Cap Nursery Open now! A gorgeous variety of fl owers & vegetables available.
