Betty J. Combs
Coalwell Morris
Baker City, 1926 - 2015
Betty
Morris, 89,
of Baker
City, Or-
egon passed
away peace-
fully in her
Betty
home early
Morris
Tuesday
morning, November 24,
2015 after a brief illness.
At her request there will
not be a service.
Betty was born to John
and Maggie (Ratliff)
Combs on July 18, 1926 in
Austin, Oregon. She was
the 6th of 10 siblings. She
worked hard all her life,
always caring for others.
Betty married Frank Coal-
well in 1948, they had 3
children and were married
30 years.
They lived in a small
red house in Bates, Or.
and that was always home
to Betty in later years it
became “The Cabin.”
Many wonderful and un-
forgettable memories were
made there. Frank passed
away in 1978. In 1981 she
married Duane (Swede)
Morris. The family moved
to Baker City, they were
married for 19 years.
Betty enjoyed her time
with family, loved the
holidays, loved to cook
and was forever finding
treasures at yard sales. She
had no limitations, she was
always on the go. She told
many stories of taking care
of her younger siblings and
the daily struggles her fam-
ily faced living in the old
logging town of Austin and
Bates, Or.
One story shared was of
a cold snowy winter day
one of her twin sisters who
was 4 or 5 years old broke
through the ice and fell
into the creek and Betty
was the only one there to
get her out.
She was forced to go
into the frigid water to
rescue her sister. That in
itself was horrible, but the
worst part was she very
pregnant with her first
child.
Betty saved her sister
that day and went on to
have a healthy baby later
that winter. It was a hard
life for all of them, and
Betty was a true inspiration
of strength and resilience.
She was preceded in
death by her parents John
and Maggie, her hus-
band’s Frank Coalwell and
Dwayne “Swede” Morris;
two brothers Harold and
Bob Combs; six sisters
Alice Hatfield, Anna Nault,
Shirley Endicott, Elaine
(Kitty) Spivey, Jackie
Hall, and Janis Clark; and
great granddaughter Lorri
Kaneaster.
Betty is survived by
children Jerry E. Coalwell
(Marla) of John Day, OR.
Linda K Gayhart of Baker
City, OR, and Dianne B.
Bogart (Scott) of Ken-
newick, Washington;
step-daughter Darleen
Howland, (Mike), 12
Grandchildren, 20 Great
Grandchildren, and one
Great Great Grandson Ely
of Pasco WA.; sister Lois
Bidasolo of Prairie City,
Oregon numerous nieces
and nephews.
“We will always
carry your memory in our
hearts”

Wesley Lloyd Randall
was born on February 20,
1939 in Weiser, Idaho to
Chester Lorenzo and Faye
Alida (Frasier) Randall.
Wes started school
in Weiser but in 1945
Chester, a rancher, moved
the family to Richland,
Oregon, where Wes and
his siblings grew up on the
Randall Ranch. When Wes
and Marilyn visit John and
Dorothy, they climb the
same stairs to bed that he
did as a young boy.
Wes attended New
Bridge grade school, and
then graduated from Eagle
Valley High School in
1957.
As a young man Wes
left Eagle Valley to strike
out on his own and while
staying with family in
Payette he was introduced
to Marilyn Billings.
Wes, always one to
tease, liked to tell his boys
that he found himself in
trouble one day and the
judge gave him the choice
to marry Marilyn or go to
jail. Truth be told, Marilyn
was the love of his life and
his best friend. He happily
married her in Payette on
June 4, 1961 shortly after
she graduated from high
school.
In 1962, Tony Lynn
Randall was born, fol-
lowed by Timothy Andrew
Randall in 1965. Wes
dearly loved his boys and
worked hard to give them a
good start in life.
Wes and Marilyn started
their married life in On-
tario, Oregon but soon
bought their first home in
Weiser, Idaho where Wes
managed Roy and Owens
Tire store.
He later joined the sales
team for Champion Home
Builders, a company that
took him from Weiser,
Idaho to Exeter, California.
The families five years in
California were filled with
fun adventures from deep
sea fishing to Yosemite
National Park and Disney-
land.
When the opportunity
arose Wes, who remained
with Champion until his
retirement, moved Wes
back to Weiser where he
and Marilyn purchased
property on the Weiser Flat
that they still call home
today.
Throughout his life Wes
and Marilyn enjoyed fish-
ing, camping, skiing, boat-
ing, travel, crafts, horses,
dogs, and much more.
Wes was always up to
something but most of all
he loved his family. John
and Dorothy, Frank and
Shirley, Eth and Bob, and
Clinton and Glenda have
all been siblings but also
friends.
He loved and was proud
of his children Tony
and Shelly, and Tim and
especially his grandchil-
dren Eric, Katrina, Scott,
Samantha, and Andy.
Named “Bapa” by the first
grandson learning to talk,
Wes enjoyed and had a
special relationship with
each of them.
A few months ago Wes,
Marilyn, John, and Doro-
thy took a road trip to visit
Mount Rushmore because
Wes “always wanted to see
those presidents.”
He spent Thanksgiving
with Tony and Shelly, Eric,
Scott, Katie, Caleb, and
Ben and enjoyed meeting
his new great grandson
Jeffery.
On December 6, 2015,
while napping in his
recliner, Wes passed away
at his son’s home in Bel-
levue, Idaho with Marilyn
at his side. His family is
comforted by his peaceful
passing.
Wes was proceeded in
death by his parents, aunts
and uncles.
He is survived by his
siblings, John (Dorothy)
Randall, Frank (Shirley)
Randall, Ethelyn (Robert)
Williams, and Clinton
(Glenda) Randall, his Chil-
dren Tony (Michele) Ran-
dall and Timothy Randall,
his grandchildren Eric,
Katrina (Caleb), Scott,
Samantha (Chris), and
Andrew (Ashley), great-
grandchildren Beniaih
and Jeffery Morris, many
nieces, nephews, cousins
and friends.
