28, 2015 at
St. Alphon-
sus Medical Center, Baker
City. Recitation of the Ro-
sary was said Wednesday,
June 4 at 10:15 a.m. at St.
Francis de Sales Cathedral.
Mass of Christian burial
followed at 11:00 a.m. in
the cathedral. Vault inter-
ment followed at Mt. Hope
cemetery. A luncheon for
family and friends will
follow the service in the
Parish Hall.
Lois was born March 23,
1942 in LaGrande, Oregon
to Chester O and Adele
R. (Lewis) Williams. 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.
Lois is survived by her
husband Ron Colton,
Baker City, Oregon.
Children, Travis (Donnie)
Colton of Glade Park, CO;
Chris (Toby) Shaver of
Boise, ID; Rhonda (Alan)
Stephens of Dayton, WA;

Tanner, Travis, Katie, Jen-
nifer, Trisha, Chaz, River,

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.
