Edna Arriola Formerly of Bridgeport, 1919-2016 Edna Edmunson Arriola, 96, of Vale passed away on September 3, 2016 at Pioneer Place in Vale, OR. A celebration of life for longtime Bridgeport ranch wife Edna Edmunson Arriola will be held on Monday, September 12, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. MST (10 a.m. PST) at the Vale Christian Edna Church. Arriola Services under the direction of the Lienkaem- per Chapel,Vale. Edna was born on Octo- ber 25, 1919 to John (Jack) H. Edmunson and Galena (Lena) M. Reed in Juntura, OR. Her mother passed away when Edna was just fi ve years old, leav- ing behind three brothers, the youngest only a few months old. Edna worked hard all her life, beginning as a child with chores at home and taking care of her three brothers, then cleaning, cooking, babysitting, sew- ing, etc. for neighbors and relatives, and later, as a laborer in the sugar beet fi elds and a cook for hay crews and cowboys. She knew how to make do with what she had and to help with what needed to be done. After marrying Segundo Arriola in 1944, Edna began the full-time job of being a ranch wife in Westfall, OR. Segundo and Edna had four children while living on the West- fall ranch: Joe, Joanne, Pat, and Bonnie. They moved to Bridgeport in 1953 and worked side by side to establish a ranch that brought them great pride. Edna helped with any and all ranch work, including feeding the cattle and other livestock, running equip- ment, irrigating fi elds, building fence, and herding cattle. She also tended the milk cows, pigs, and chick- ens. She had a way about her that animals loved. If it wasn’t a calf following her around the corrals, it was a half dozen cats or a couple of dogs. When she was fi nished outside, she had a long list of things to do inside. Edna’s true passion was sewing. She learned to sew on her grandmother Lily’s treadle sewing machine and started sewing her own dresses in the 7th grade. Creative and talented in a variety of ways, she could make something out of nothing. Her hands were always busy with some type of project. She put those skills to good use making clothes for her children and hand-stitching countless quilts, most of which were given as gifts or donated to fundraisers. Edna was well known among family and neigh- bors for her gardening. Anyone fortunate enough to stroll through Edna’s yard would have appreci- ated the care and attention that went into the cultiva- tion of her many fl owers and fruit trees. She kept a large garden and canned all sorts of fruit and vegetables to last through the winter.
