McClaughry,
61, of Baker
City, died on

ror” twin as well. Joanie

Komoto and the other
drummers performed
fi ve songs; some tradi-
tional pieces, a song that is
“ever-changing” that they
created, and some with
their own twists added to
them. They also performed
a piece called “Drum
Battle,” where they would
play and respond to each
other.
The drums used were
handmade from oak bar-
rels with cowhide. Some
of the drums are as old as
the group and they have
only replaced two over the
years.
The
had moved in 1992. Joanie
was always a loving caring
person, she loved to work
the Union County Life
Stock Show and Haines
Stampede during the 4th
July dealing blackjack like
a professional blackjack
dealer.
But one of Joanie’s
favorite times of the year
was Halloween and Christ-
mas. She would always
make her own costumes
being very creative, she
defi nitely had a talent for
that and Christmas every
year she would make sure
her nieces and nephews
always had gifts to make
them smile.
Those who knew Joanie
always knew she was a
hard worker and had a
good sense of humor. Even
growing up her and her
twin Jeanie would al-
ways have a trick up their
sleeves, they were basi-
cally the double trouble
twins.
One thing Joanie’s fam-
ily will never forget is how
much of a loving mother
she was to her daughter
Atheena McClaughry and
how much she did for her
family. She will surely
be missed and loved.
Her smile and laugh will
always be in our hearts
everywhere we go and she
was defi nitely loved by
many and will be missed
by many.
She was preceded in
death by her parents Wil-
liam Thomas McClaughry
and Virginia Aue and her
brother David McCaughry
formally of North Powder,
Oregon passed in 1990.
