FRIDAY, JANUARY 20, 2017 THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS — 9 Local & Entertainment — Obituaries — CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 In 1990 Howard and Priscilla decided to move to Redmond, Oregon to be closer to family. Within a year Priscilla opened another business, High Desert Property Manage- ment, in a two car garage behind the house that Howard had converted into an offi ce. Priscilla managed the properties while Howard did all the maintenance work. Over time they built up a steady clientele which developed into a solid business. Upon retirement from the prop- erty management business, Priscilla’s daughter Diane Marr bought her out and continued the business un- til selling, and starting her own property management business, Marr Manage- ment. Priscilla involved herself in the community with volunteer work at the Redmond Hospital Gift Shop, Chamber of Com- merce, Redmond Library, Meals on Wheels, and her Church. She was preceded in death by her husband Howard Smith in 2000. Priscilla is survived by two children, son Chuck Meagher and his wife Mar- say, and daughter Diane Marr of Redmond, Oregon; two grandchildren, Ted Meagher of Seattle, Wash- ington, and Somer Wilson and husband Brian of Bend, Oregon; one great- grandson, Cyrus Wilson of Bend, Oregon. The family would like to thank Heart and Home Hospice of Baker City for their professional, con- siderate and gentle care during her stay at Settlers Park. Lastly, our sincere thanks to the staff of Set- tlers Park for creating an atmosphere of family for Priscilla, which was made possible by their dedication to providing the love and kindness only a family can provide. No services are planned.
