Hilda Salma Shold
Yantis Lee
Stayton, 1922-2016
She was a member of the
United Methodist Church
of Stayton where she
played the piano, organ,
and arranged fl owers for
services.
She was a 66-year
member of PEO (Chapter
EU), led numerous Boy/
Girl Scout and Camp Fire
clubs, and served on the
local arts committee. She
was named First Citizen of
Stayton in 2003.
Hilda was an avid gar-
dener and her home was
featured on many garden
tours. She knew the scien-
tifi c names of all the fl ow-
ers and willingly shared
her plants with others. Her
love of fl owers started in
college as she and EOCE’s
Nature Club would hike
mountains picking fl ow-
ers to press. Later, she
would be known for her
dried fl ower wreaths and
arrangements. She would
also preserve, freeze and
dry vegetables and fruits.
She enjoyed life and
led by example—eating
healthy, being gracious,
and always tolerant. You
can still hear her say: “If
you do not have something
nice to say about someone,
don’t say it.” Hilda was
always doing for others,
always giving and forgiv-
ing.
Education was very im-
portant to Hilda. She was
encouraged by her mother
to constantly learn more.
Even though they lived
miles from civilization, her
mother always had maga-
zines to keep her informed
about the world. Hilda was
the leader of EOCE branch
of the Association for
Childhood Education.
All of her children
went to college and many
received advanced degrees.
She inspired some of her
children & grandchildren
to be teachers, though
some were inspired to be
farmers and nutritionists.
At 93, she was doing
crossword puzzles, jumble
words and reading new au-
thors. PEO was important
to her partly because of the
scholarships that they give
to women.
Traveling with family
was a joy to Hilda: Going
to The Ranch in Richland;
Fourth of July family
reunions at the beach or
Blakely Island; Camp-
ing out in the mountains
of Oregon and the Grand
Tetons; Showing her four
girls Norway and Europe;
Sojourning to Alaska
where her daughter, Diane,
and family lived; Travel-
ling to Singapore with her
brother, Walt; Visiting her
Mikey & Deb in Thailand
(Riding an elephant at age
82); Heading to West Palm
Beach, Tulsa, and Chicago
to watch her granddaughter
compete; Checking out the
Panama Canal; Going to
ski Resorts in Canada and
the Northwest for after-
Christmas fun.
She married Richard A
Yantis in 1946 and until
his death in 1960, together
raised fi ve children. In
1962 she married Robert E
Lee and moved to Stayton,
adding his three children
to her brood. He died later
that same year.
Survivors include:
children Sandy Kuykend-
all, Mike Yantis, Suzanne
Fry, Christy Huddleston,
and Tim Yantis and their
spouses; step-children
Robert Lee and Diane
Brenner; daughter-in-law
Debbie Lee; sister-in-
law, Lela Shold; eighteen
grandchildren; fourteen
great-grandchildren; and
numerous nieces, nephews
and their spouses. She is
preceded in death by her
parents, her brothers Grant
and Walter Shold, her sis-
ter Addaline Robinson, her
husbands, and her step-son
Doug Lee.
Funeral arrangements are
by Weddle Funeral Home
and condolences can be
made at Weddle-Funeral.
com. A celebration of life
will be to at United Meth-
odist Church in Stayton on
November 20, 2016 at 1:30
p.m..
In lieu of fl owers the
family would appreciate
donations to the United
Methodist Church of Stay-
ton in her honor.

County Commission Session

PAGE 8
Ed Hardt said he
believes that the 911
Dispatch services should
be left as they are because
he doesn’t see issues with
them, and Chuck Chase
said he doesn’t understand
why the County would
allow the City to manage
County services, while the
County incurs any liability.
Several more attendees
The
voiced opinions about the
proposed agreement, posi-
tive and negative, includ-
ing 911 Board member
Debi Dugan, who said that
the progress in provided
services can’t be allowed
to be derailed, citing the
lack of communication, for
example, 14 years ago.
She said she has issues
with the imbalance of pay-
ments for services versus
the provided services, with
the City versus the outly-
ing areas.
Warner, Jr. said that he
doesn’t see major issues
with the proposed agree-
ment, and it will be pre-
sented again to the County
once it’s signed by City
Council, with more public
input to follow.
The discussion was
continued to the next work
session on Wednesday,
December 14, 2016, 9
a.m., with a motion from
Bennett and a second from
Kerns.
