Vinnie were married for 38
years and 11 months before
his passing in 1986. During
their marriage they had six
wonderful children; Orval,
Evelyn, Barbara, Bruce,
Frances, and Clara.
Vinnie was first and
foremost a loving and car-
ing wife and mother. She

youth and instilled in her
children a love of music.
She met her husband play-
ing in a band at a local

made bread hot and fresh
from the oven was often
an after school treat for her
children. Her first career
was a mom. She did not
enter the workforce until
her youngest child was in
school, working for the
city of Baker in the payroll
office. A skilled seam-
stress, she created beautiful
quilts for each of her chil-
dren, grandchildren and
great-grandchildren. Her
latest pastime was Tea and

knowing her.

son Orval Dale Givens and
wife Suzanne of Hunts-
ville, Alabama, her daugh-
ter Evelyn Ann Jackson
and husband Terrance of
Boise, Idaho, her daughter
Barbara Joyce Sivey and
husband Gail of Don-
nelly, Idaho, her son Bruce
Wayne Givens of Baker
City, Oregon, her daughter
Frances Elaine Givens of
Clarkston, Washington and
her daughter Clara Jean
Knox and husband Robert
of Baker City, Oregon.
Vinnie is also survived by

great-grandchildren.

death by her parents; two
brothers Alfred Westly
Goff and Joe Leo Goff;
three sisters Irene May
Watson, Hazel Belle Mas-
ters, and Virginia Ream
Goff; and two granddaugh-
ters Kay Lynn Jackson and
