Marcella Taylor
Halfway, 1914-2015
Marcella
Taylor,101
years old,
a lifelong
Halfway
resident,
peacefully
Marcella
died early
Taylor
morning
Thursday, October 22,
2015. A viewing will be
held on Friday, October 30,
from 4 to 7 p.m. at Tami’s
Pine Valley Funeral Home
125 N Main Street Half-
way, Oregon.
A Celebration of Mar-
cella’s Life Service will be
held on Saturday,
October 31, 2015 ~ 11:00
a.m. at the Presbyterian
Church in Halfway, Rev
Bill Shields presiding.
Interment will follow the
service at Pine Haven
Cemetery. Friends are in-
vited to join the family for
a potluck reception to
be held following the inter-
ment at the Lions Hall in
Halfway.
Marcella was born in
Halfway October 16, 1914
to Willis and Jessie
Updike Mitchell. She
married Floyd Taylor in
September 20, 1933 in
Halfway,
Oregon. She lived her
entire life in Pine Valley
except for two short times
in Baker, OR in the early
1940s. Marcella and Floyd
had four sons.
In 101 years, Marcella
had many life experi-
ences that many would
not understand, having not
lived in this early era. As a
girl she remembers Indians
coming by their farmhouse
looking in and sometimes
standing outside the gate
waiting for food. She
enjoyed riding her horse
to Halfway High School.
During the winter she told
of many times that Jim Al-
exander, the custodian, let
the girls into the furnace
room to warm themselves.
Vernon Thomas, a great
friend, enjoyed saddling
her horse, getting it ready
to go take Marcella home,
however her saddle would
be cinched on her horse
backwards! During her
life, the world changed
from Model T Fords to
space travel, from “party
lines” to cell phones,
from outhouses to indoor
plumbing, and from pencil
and paper to computers
and internet, from read-
ing books to watching TV.
The memories shared of
Marcella’s life will live on
for generations to come.
Marcella was the last
remaining Charter Member
of Pine Valley Grange
#815 and longtime member
of Eastern Star. She cared
deeply about Pine
Valley and the people who
lived there.
She was preceded in
death by her husband
Floyd on October 21,
2001.
Marcella is survived by
her sons William Floyd
“Bill” Taylor and compan-
ion Jan Stewart of Pend-
leton, Oregon; Elton Dale
and his wife Judy Taylor of
Halfway, Oregon; Keith
Marvin Taylor of Long
Creek, Oregon and Mi-
chael Blair and wife Shir-
ley Taylor of John Day; 13
grandchildren, 21 great-
grandchildren and many
great-great-grandchildren.

to make a Memorial dona-
tion in memory of
Marcella the family sug-

Soroptimists hold ‘Live your Dream’ art contest
Soroptimist Interna-
tional of Baker County,
part of a global volunteer
organization that works
to improve the lives of
women and girls through
programs leading to social
and economic empower-
ment, invites students, ages
4-18, to participate in its
annual Live Your Dream
art contest.
This year, the contest
pays tribute to the launch
of Soroptimist’s new
global program—Dream
It, Be It: Career Support
for Girls, which aims to
help girls to reach their
full potential and live their
dreams, by providing them
with access to professional
role models, education
and other resources they
need to achieve their career
goals. Students are asked
to draw or paint a picture
of a woman mentor or role
model in their lives and
share how this woman
inspires or motivates them.
If chosen as a finalist,
students’ artwork will be
displayed on the Sorop-
timist Facebook page

February, where people
can vote on the winners by
“liking” their favorite art-
work in each age category
(Category 1: ages 4-7;
Category 2: ages 8-11; Cat-
egory 3: ages 12-15; and
Category 4: ages 16-18).
The artwork with the most
“likes” in each category
will signify the winner.
Winners will be announced
on the Soroptimist Face-
book page on March 8,
International Women’s
Day. Winners will also re-
ceive prizes featuring their
artwork.
“Around the globe,
women serve as role
models and mentors to a
younger generation,” said
Soroptimist President Sam
Buchenau. “This year’s
Live Your Dream art
contest provides a creative
way for both boys and girls
to honor these women, and
share the positive influ-
ences they’ve had on their
lives.”
Schools must collect all
work from their students
and send in one package to
Soroptimist, 1709 Spruce
Street, Philadelphia, PA
