Gary Marlette
Baker City, 1939-2016
Gary
Marlette, a
long-time
Baker City
attorney,
passed away
at his home
on February
Gary
16, 2016. A
Marlette
Celebration
of Gary’s
Life will be held on
Thursday, March 24, 2016
~ 2 p.m. at the Baker Elks
Club 1896 Second Street
in Baker City
He was born March
25, 1939, and raised in
Redfi eld, South Dakota
with his two sisters, Valerie
and Patricia. He was a
popular student at Red-
fi eld High School and will
be remembered there as
a football and track star.
Gary was also in chorus
and glee club, as well as
serving in several student
organizations. He was
always ready to try some-
thing new, especially if it
was a little crazy. He was
quite a joke teller, as well
as a prankster.
After graduating from
high school in 1957,
Gary’s family moved to
Longview, Washington,
where he attended St.
Martin’s College in Lacy,
Washington. In 1962, he
met JoAnn Berks, and
they were married in 1964.
That same year he enrolled
in night school at North-
western School of Law.
Northwestern later merged
with Lewis & Clark Col-
lege and he graduated in
1968 from Northwestern
School of Law of Lewis
& Clark College. In 1968
Gary & JoAnn, and their
infant son, Andy, moved
to Baker, Oregon where he
practiced law, retiring in
2007.
Gary loved Baker
County and all that it had
to offer. He was an avid
bird hunter, and, at the
fi rst snowfall, would head
to the breaks of the Snake
River with his hunting
dog “Jack.” His family
does not remember a time
that he didn’t return with
his bird limit. There are
many fond memories of
the family summers on
the Snake River, enjoying
skiing, boating, fi shing and
camping.
Gary will be remem-
bered as a fun-loving man,
always enthusiastically
engaging people, enjoying
being the life of the party,
and, if there were a deck
of cards around, was more
than willing to show his
many card tricks.
Gary is survived by his
wife, JoAnn; daughter,
Carolyn Kimpton and her
husband, David; grand-
daughters, Madelyn Jo,
Sydney Ann and Katie
Grace; daughter, Molly
Eekhoff and her husband,
Adam; and daughter-in-
law, Kaz Marlette; sister
Patricia Boynton of Deer
Park, Washington.
He was preceded in
death by his son, Andy
Marlette; his parents,
Frank and Dora Marlette;
and, his oldest sister, Val-
erie O’Brien.
For those who would
like to make a donation in
Gary’s memory, the family
suggests The Compassion-
ate Friends through Tami’s
Pine Valley Funeral Home
PO Box 543 Halfway,
Oregon 97834. Online
