A Memo- rial Service was held on Friday, December 8, 2017 at the Pne Valley Presby- terian Church. Interment at Pine Haven Cemetery in Halfway, Oregon. Louise was born on December 17, 1917 in Velva, North Dakota to W.M.White and Martha Phoebe White. The White family moved to Nada Utah in April of 1918. Louise and her four sib- lings lived in Nada and she graduated from Milford High School in Milford, Utah. Louise married Earl Sly in November 16, 1936 and they moved to Halfway in 1947 with their three children; Marie, Richard and Jay. Louise was 41 in January of 1958 when she lost her husband Earl in an accident. She continued to operate their ranch, milking cows, and driving school bus for Pine Eagle School District for 25 years. She was the secretary of the Foothill and Posey Ditch compa- nies for 45 years. She owned Fairview Polled Herefords LLC in Halfway for over 40 years. In the last twenty years she turned over much of the day to day operation of the ranch to Jay Sly. Louise loved painting and was a completely self- taught artist. Her paintings graced her home, the homes of chil- dren and grandchildren. She was an outstanding taxidermist with her work in the homes of clients from Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Every one of her grand- children and many of her great-grandchildren have her taxidermy which she did with her grandson Vic- tor Savage. Louise was an avid reader and involved in her community and was proudly named Grand Marshal of the Baker County Fair in 2001. It was her cattle and the Louise ranch that Sly was the love of her life—the horses, dogs, and all creatures of the ranch she cared for. Louise could often be seen in the valley moving cows or spraying weeds on her 4-wheeler, which gave her so much independence in later life. The embodiment of her character is that she owned, operated and grew her ranch for 63 years. At the heart of her life were her family and the ranch. Her ranch boasted the 2008 and 2009 East/ West Shrine Steers—2008 Steer was shown by her great-granddaughter Nicole Markgraf Merchant and the 2009 Steer was shown by her great-grandson Blain Jay “BJ” Savage. Louise was preceded in death by her husband Earl, her parents, a baby brother, two older brothers: John Barrett White, William Eugene White and a sister Elizabeth Whitehurst. SEE OBITUARIES PAGE 7
