Dorothy was the daugh- ter of Henry and Rena Fihn of La Grande, Oregon. She was the sister of twin brothers Lyle and Lowell Fihn.

She always had pleasant memories of her work family. Glen and Dorothy, in their retirement years, liked to go RVing and traveling with friends and family to different states and towns. She was blessed with having good memories of a life that was full of her loving family, having good friends, and memories of all the good times they had together. Dorothy was very thankful during her illness that she was able to stay in her own home, to enjoy the remainder of her life as she wanted it. She leaves behind her daughter Glenda, four grandchildren and three great-great grandchildren. We all knew this day was coming and we prayed it would never get here.

Inez Marie Small Baker City, 1924-2017 Inez Marie Small, 92, of Baker City died Monday, January 16th, 2017 at Meadowbrook Place. A celebration of her life was held Wednesday the 25th at Gray’s West & Company Pioneer Chapel. Inez was born on January 19, 1924 in Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana to Ralph Anderson and Virginia Pearl (Waddle) Anderson. She was the oldest of three siblings, two half-brothers and one half-sister. Inez attended George Washington High School in Indianapolis. However, being the product of the Great Depression and later a broken home she had to leave school (after the 10th grade) in order to care for her, while her mother went to work to pay for life’s necessities. On October 11, 1941 Inez married Carroll Otis Small, who was born on May 30, 1922 in Norwood, MA to Carroll Eugene Small and Ruth Wilder (Capen) Small. During the War years, Inez worked at the Link Belt, with other family members, making parts for war machines. During this time her hus- band travelled to Oregon with the Civilian Conser- vation Corps for a while, later returning to work for the railroad in Indianapo- lis. On Thanksgiving of 1945, Inez gave birth to Carroll Gene Small and on February 2nd, 1947 the couple had another son, Michael Duane Small. With two sons in dia- pers, the youngest only 3 months old, this woman took the fi rst journey of her life, on a Greyhound Bus, from Indianapolis to Baker, Oregon. On November 20th of 1949, Inez gave birth to another son, Richard Allen Small and her only daugh- ter Virginia (Ginny) Lee Small was born on Decem- ber 19 of 1953. Having lived during the Great Depression and WWII, Inez and Carroll understood the hunger and hardships of bad times. Once they were settled in Baker, they began growing food in a family garden as well and fi shing, hunting and following the potato pickers for their winter stores. They built a small home at 1455 Auburn Street in Baker with a living room, two bed- rooms and a kitchen. The bathroom was an outhouse and bathes were taken by heating water on the cook stove and bathing in a wash tub in the kitchen. The lean times she and her family had endured taught Inez well. Each year Inez was very busy during harvest season. She canned fruits and vegetables and made jams, jellies and pies for the freezer. She also cut and wrapped wild game and fi sh preparing enough food to last throughout the entire year. She always strived to ensure that her family never went hungry. Taking care of her family was her full time job and she was good at it! Inez was a great cook and baker. She baked the best breads, jelly rolls, cakes and pies and at Christmas time it was always home- made fudge and fruitcakes that were far better than anything you could fi nd in a store. With their family com- plete, they began taking their vacations East every year to Indianapolis. Al- though Inez had a good life in Baker, she was a city girl at heart. She always missed her family and friends from the big city. Through the trials and tribulations of having two sons and two brothers going off to War, coupled with the loss of her eldest son Carroll Gene in 1995 just after his 50th birthday and her youngest child and only daughter Ginny in the fall of 2000 at the age of 46. Inez never failed to maintain her posi- tion of responsibility as a wife and mother. Soon after the loss of their daughter Carroll de- veloped Alzheimer’s which progressed to the point of having to be placed in a nursing home. This left Inez basically alone as Richard lived and worked in Florida and Michael was on disability and retired in Spokane, Washington, both too far for regular visits. Over time all of her fam- ily departed, leaving her the last of her siblings. She passed away just two days shy of her 93rd birthday. SEE OBITUARIES PAGE 9
