The celebration of Christ’s
resurrection does not end with
the last Mass on Easter Sun-
day; it continues until Pente-
cost.
As the fifth Sunday of
Easter is celebrated, the read-
ing will be from John: “Do not
let your hearts be troubled. You
have faith in God.” Also, “I am
the way and the truth and the
life. No one comes to the Fa-
ther except through me.”

Mr. Blind was born on
Oct. 20, 1935 in Amsterdam.
He relocated in 1955 to Austra-
lia, where he met his wife, Atty
(Dykstra) Blind, who survives.
Seven years later, they moved
to Holland; then to Artesia,
Calif. Mr. Blind worked for
General Motors Corp. in Los
Angeles for 14 years.
They moved from Los
Angeles in 1974 to Cave Junc-
tion, where they started the
A&B Sporting Goods Store,
later renaming it A&B Family
Clothing. The couple owned
and operated A&B until his
retirement in September 2004.
Mr. Blind had served as
president of the Illinois Valley
Chamber of Commerce, and
chairman of the city of Cave
Junction Planning Commis-
sion. His hobbies were fishing,
camping, and photography. At
his direction, his eyes were
donated to Lions Club Interna-
tional Sight & Hearing Pro-
gram.
Besides his wife, Atty, of
Cave Junction; Mr. Blind is
survived by a son, Robert Wil-
lem Blind, of Cave Junction; a
daughter, Diana Mary Ann
Blind; four sisters, Maya
Former longtime Illinois
Valley resident Marie Frances
Gibbons, 92, went to be with
the Lord on April 7, 2005 in
Santa Rosa, Calif.
“Marie” was born on Dec.
10, 1912 in Grand Haven,
Mich. to immigrant parents
Fred and Josephine Krumpeck.
She was the youngest and last
survivor of six children.
In fall 1937 she was vaca-
tioning from her office job in
Chicago, Ill. visiting her sister,
who had a new baby, in
Pomona, Calif., where she met
Francis James Gibbons. Fol-
lowing a romance and engage-
ment, both by letters, they were
married in July 1939 in Ben-
sonville, Ill.
They returned to Pomona,
where he was employed. Later
they opened a small grocery
store/gas station there.
In November 1943 they
moved with their two children,
while she was pregnant with
their third child, to Cave Junc-
tion to the Bud Doney Ranch.
More recently, the home por-
tion of their many surrounding
acres is owned by Jerry Miller
on Ken Rose Lane.
In 1950 Mr. and Mrs. Gib-
bons opened a grocery store,
Gibbons Market, 2.5 miles
south of Downtown Cave
Junction. They eventually ex-
panded it to its final location
(current site of Illinois Valley
Fire District administrative
headquarters) in 1953 on a
piece of the farm property.
Other property was sold
through the years. Mr. Gibbons
died in 1975. “Marie” sold the
market in 1977 and moved into
Cave Junction. The store
closed in 1979.
“Marie and Frank” were a
real team, whether in farming,
raising their family, running
their business, or in efforts to
help and encourage others and
better the community.
She had been involved in
PTA work, Boy Scouts, and
Democratic Club. She served
as I.V. Golf Course Associa-
tion treasurer; Community
Bible Church assistant treas-
urer, Awana helper, Lorna
Byrne Middle School tutor,
I.V. Blood Bank campaign
caller, and other volunteer
tasks to aid the efforts of
groups she felt were doing
important work. She also
helped with fund-raising efforts
for the Cave Junction Swim-
ming Pool, and I.V. Senior
Center.
Due to Alzheimer’s Dis-
ease, “Marie” moved to Santa
Rosa in May 1999 with her
daughter Arlene’s family, and
later to a care facility.
Her ashes will be placed in
Laurel Cemetery in Cave Junc-
tion near her husband; and a
grandson, Bradley Rosenberg.
There will be no service,
but on April 9 her family gath-
ered in Santa Rosa.

las, of Santa Rosa; and son
