A memorial service will be held for Nellie on Saturday, May 20, 2017 at 11:00 AM at Gray’s West & Co. Pioneer Chapel, 1500 Dewey Ave., Baker City, OR 97814. A recep- tion will follow the service at Coles Tribute Center. Nellie was born on September 23, 1910, the daughter of John and Nutie (Wunder) Boyer and the granddaughter of two pioneer families. Her pa- ternal grandparents arrived in Oregon with the 1864 Oregon Trail party, and her maternal grandparents ar- rived in the mid 1870’s by stagecoach. A lifelong resident of Baker County, born in Hereford, Oregon, her childhood years were spent at her parent’s ranch on Denny Creek. She attend- ed the Lockhart School and completed an eight grade education. She was mar- ried to Walter Langlitz on May 6, 1934 and together, they were the parents of daughters Lorraine and Verna, and sons Walter (Larry), and Gary. Nellie and Walt were ranchers at heart. They owned property and lived in a small house barely a quarter mile from the Lockhart School that she attended as a child. In 1957, they purchased prop- erty in the Missouri Flat area of Baker Valley, and moved into a house with all the “modern conve- niences”, namely electric- ity, telephone, and indoor plumbing. They raised cattle, sheep, hay, and all the other common barn- yard animals. For several years, they processed fresh Prowell turkeys for the holidays and she worked at the Ward cellars during the potato harvest. Nellie was an avid gardener and took great care and pride in her fl ower beds and shrubs. She was still maintaining her fl ower beds and mow- ing her lawn with her rid- ing lawnmower at age 100. Failing eyesight forced her to leave her beloved ranch at age 102 and become a resident of Meadowbrook Place, where she remained until her passing. Nellie was a long-time member of the Baker County Sheriff’s Mounted Posse. She was also a member of the Blue Moun- tain Old Time Fiddlers Association and served as the Baker County Direc- tor for 25 years. She was a member of the Kitchen Band and performed at numerous local events and senior residence facilities. Nellie is survived by her children, Lorraine of Yakima, Washington, Verna (Par Dar) of Tucson, Arizona, Walter (Ellen) of Battle Ground, Wash- ington, and Gary (Diane) of North Powder, Oregon. She is also survived by 11 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren, 15 great-great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews. Nellie was preceded in death by Walter, her husband of 50 years, her parents and her siblings; Bessie, Velma, Harold, Joe, and Raymond. She was also preceded in death by 2 grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. Memorial contributions may be made to the Blue Mt. Old Time Fiddlers through Gray’s West & Co. Pioneer Chapel at 1500 Dewey Ave., Baker City, OR 97814. To light a candle for Nel- lie or share a condolence with the family, please visit: www.grayswestco. com. Logging truck has accident Honey!
