Barbara Barbour
Baker City, 1917-2017
Our Aunt
Barbara
was born in
Sauk Centre,
Minnesota
on November
14, 1917.
Barbara
She and her
Barbour
two broth-
ers, Don
and Earl, had scarlet fever
when they were toddlers.
This affected their hearing.
They were still able to talk.
Barbara was sent to the
Berkeley School for the
Deaf. After graduation,
Barbara worked at the
school as a fi le clerk. She
had to stop working in
her late teens when they
discovered an inoperable
brain tumor, which caused
her to have vertigo for the
rest of her life.
She wasn’t supposed to
live past her mid-twenties.
Neither of these challenges
stopped Barbara from
living a full life. She was
unstoppable and defi ed all
the odds. Even in these
later years, when she had
to use a walker to get
around, Barbara only new
one speed, fast—go—go.
She was a wife, a home-
maker, and a talented lady.
She was a seamstress and
did exceptional needle-
point work. Anything
Barbara set her mind to,
she accomplished.
When her nephew Don
was a teenager, he and
Barbara did the mechanical
work on the 1931 Model A
that Barbara and her hus-
band Bill owned. After
losing her husband Bill
over 35 years ago, Barbara
remained independent and
always on the go. She
loved life. She had no
patience.
She was a remarkable
woman and an inspiration
to all she came in contact
with. She was 99 years old
and she was a pistol.
We cherish her and will
miss her in our life. She
left us on Thursday, Febru-
ary 2, 2017 in Baker City,
Oregon.
Aunt Barbara is sur-
vived by her nephew and
niece-in-law Don and Judy
Lange of Richland, Or-
egon. On line condolences

Wadean Modell Rohner
Holcomb
Baker City, 1921-2017
Wadean
Modell
Rohner
Holcomb
a Baker
County
resident for
over 90 years Wadean
Holcomb
entered into
rest January
12th 2017 at the age of 95
at Ashley Manor Living
Facility with her family at
her bedside.
A Funeral Service will be
held on Saturday, February
11, 2017 at 1:00 p.m. at the
Richland Christian Church
with Pastor Gordon Bond
offi ciating. A reception
will follow the service
at the church Fellowship
Hall.
Wadean was born May
1st, 1921 in Wingville,
Oregon to William Henry
Rohner and Bertha Tanner
Rohner. She was raised
in Wingville where she
learned her hard work ethic
on the family farm which
included many outdoor
tasks including milking
the cows and tending the
chickens.
She married George
Noble Holcomb on July
12, 1942 in Wingville.
They resided at the Hol-
comb Ranch in Richland,
OR where they operated
a sheep ranch that later
became a full time cattle
ranch. Wadean contributed
to the ranch by being a
homemaker, this included
preparing meals for the
lambing crews, keeping a
plentiful garden and pre-
serving the harvest.
Wadean attended Baker
High School and Baker
Business College. She
studied Home Economics
at Oregon State College
(now OSU) for two years.
She was a member of
Baker County Garden Club
and Order of Eastern Star,
Esther Chap 11. She was
blessed with a keen mind
until recent years. Her
many interests included
her love of gardening and
cooking. She was patri-
otic; the respect and honor
she demonstrated to our
US Military was without
waver. In 2012, Wadean’s
wish materialized as the
John Holcomb Memo-
rial Park was dedicated in
Richland, Oregon. She
had a great love for Baker
County and considered it
“God’s country.” Wadean
lived through the depres-
sion during her early life
and that helped to form her
conservative frugal nature
and the ideology of saving
for a rainy day that she
practiced daily.
She was preceded in
death by her parents, her
husband and two sons John
Noble and William “Bill”
Dean.
Wadean is survived by
her sister Gloria Linebaugh
of Bend, daughter-in-law
Wanda Holcomb of Rich-
land, three granddaughters
Shannon (Marin) Miller,
Gloria (Carlos) Montes,
Christy Holcomb and six
great grandchildren.
In lieu of fl owers, the
family requests memorial
contributions be made to
Eagle Valley Ambulance or
a charity of choice through
Gray’s West & Co. at 1500
Dewey Ave., Baker City,
OR 97814.
