of Jade’s Life
will be held
on Saturday,
Jade
July 2, 2016
~ 11:00 a.m. Simpson
at the Pine
Valley Presbyterian Church
in Halfway, Oregon. Inurn-
ment will follow at Pine
Haven Cemetery. Follow-
ing the placement, you are
invited to join the family
for a potluck reception
Halfway Lions Hall.
Jade Elizabeth Peer
Simpson was born on
February 8, 1983. Up
until the past 4 years, Jade
had lived her whole life
in Halfway. Jade went
to Halfway Elementary
School until the 6th grade.
She then attended Rich-
land Elementary where
she made a lot of new
friends thru the 8th grade.
She always liked playing
softball all during school
years. Jade graduated
high school at Pine Eagle.
While there she enjoyed
being a cheer leader and
more softball. Jade loved
being on Rodeo Court.
She was the princess of
the Haines Stampede, the
princess and queen of the
Hells Canyon Jr. Rodeo,
also princess and queen of
the Baker County Fair and
Rodeo. Jade always loved
meeting new people and
making new friends. She
also enjoyed hunting, fish-
ing and being outdoors.
During high school she
worked at the Halfway
Motel where she continued
to work after graduation.
Jade also worked at the
Halfway Bowling alley
and the Hell’s Canyon Inn.
In the fall of 2002, Jade
was in a bad car accident
which left her with a
traumatic brain injury. She
worked hard and fought
harder to walk and talk
again and persevered to
overcome her injuries, and
she did.
Jade had a beautiful
daughter, Gracie Faye who
was born on February 19,
2006. Gracie died seven
weeks later from compli-
cations of the rare CMV
Virus. This was very hard
on Jade, but again she
overcame.
Jade got a part time job
cleaning paint brushes for
the paint crew. She started
going to church and losing
weight gaining confidence
and strength in herself. It
was Thanksgiving of 2011,
when Jade met Lance
and began a whirlwind of
adventures. They had a
beautiful wedding in 2014
and continued on new ad-
ventures every chance they
got. Jade and Lance died
together on June 10, 2016
in Utah where Lance was
employed since December
of 2015.
Jade was a tenacious,
funny, red headed spit-
fire, who in her blessed
stubbornness was able to
overcome many obstacles
in her life. She had a fire
in her heart for those she
loved. We will miss her
dearly.
Jade was preceded in
death by her Grandma
Grace Ritter, baby Gracie
Faye, brother Josh Peer
and her husband Lance
Simpson.
Jade is survived by her
father Roger and his wife
Beth Peer, sister Annalisa
Peer, and brother Addison
Peer; mother Melody and
her husband Tom Huff,
brother Jacob Huff, and
four legged cat Cloudy;
many, many other family
and friends.
For those who would
like to make a memorial
donation in memory of
Jade, the family suggests

Memories (for children
whom in their disability/
ability have an opportu-
nity to fish, hunt, camp)
