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.
