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.

Sumpter declares emergency
BY MEGHAN ANDERSCH
Meghan@TheBakerCountyPress.com
Last week Sumpter City
Council declared an emer-
gency, joining multiple
other cities and counties
across the State facing
diffi culties due to heavy
The
snowfall and extreme
weather conditions. Mayor
Cary Clarke explained
that the heavier snow
conditions this year have
depleted funds for snow
removal.
Clarke said that now that
the Governor has declared
a State of Emergency in
Oregon, the City may
be able to access some
government funds, though
he emphasized nothing is
guaranteed and receiving
assistance is only a pos-
sibility.
