Dona Gene Storie
Sheehy
Formerly of Baker County,
1928-2016
Dona Gene Storie
Sheehy, 88,
amazing
mother and
role model
for her
twelve chil-
dren passed
away in her
Dona
sleep on
Sheehy
September
19th, 2016 at her home.
Services are open to the
public, and are planned for
the 29th of October at 11
a.m. at the Sacred Heart
Catholic Church in Union
with a luncheon to follow
in the church hall.
Born to Thomas Leonard
Storie and Lettie Har-
riet Sisley, in Grandview,
Idaho on July 16, 1928,
she and her family soon
returned to the Storie fam-
ily ranch near Dixie Creek,
Oregon. She graduated
from Huntington High
School in 1947 and mar-
ried Robert Clinton Sheehy
of Durkee, in Baker,
Oregon on June 29, 1947.
During their early married
years they lived in Weiser,
Baker and on Dixie Creek
in the Rye Valley area.
In September 1956 they
moved to a ranch out of
Union where they raised
the family, worked the
ranch and became a viable
part of the community.
They had been married for
58 years when he passed
away in 2005.
Dona, born early and
allergic to milk survived
on carrot juice but grew to
be a strong woman who
was very effi cient and hard
working homemaker most
of her life. After all her
children were in school
she worked as a cook and
baker for the cafeteria in
Union Public Schools. She
soon earned a reputation
as an excellent cook and
valuable employee. She
has passed her love of bak-
ing on to many, including
her children, in-laws, and
grandchildren and taught
many to bake her famous
rolls, which she often
provided for community
events.
A woman who valued
the simple things in life: a
bird singing in the sage-
brush, a pretty fl ower in
the garden or a mischie-
vous child skipping down
the walk, she was able to
feed and clothe a family
of twelve on the income
from a small farm and the
wages of her husband, a
millwright. The grocer
once admired her say-
ing, “She could buy more
groceries with less money
than anyone I know.” She
washed eight loads of
laundry nearly everyday
and hung the wash on the
line to dry year round,
raised a garden, baked all
of the bread used by her
family, canned and froze
food for the winter, made
pancakes for breakfast
every morning and mean-
while managed to keep her
children out of trouble. She
often helped with the sheep
during lambing season or
when her husband Bob
was away shearing or
working extra hours at the
mill. Dona encouraged her
children to keep trying, do
their best, fi nish what was
started and to stand up for
what is right.
She was proceeded in
death by her husband,
Robert Clinton Sheehy;
brother, Sydney Dwayne
”Bud” Storie, granddaugh-
ter, Jena Ann Haga and
great grandaughter Jena
Rose Simonson.
