Shirley Ann Woodbury Shirley Ann Woodbury, 72, of O’Brien, died Wednesday, Aug. 20, 2008 at her home. A day for memories is planned for Saturday, Sept. 6 from 1 to 4 p.m. at her home at 695 Lone Mountain Road in O’Brien. She loved ol’ fashioned potluck get-togethers, so please bring smiles, stories and a simple dish, all under the old oak tree. From the Womb to the Grave, we travel between the eternities. These are some of the travels of a Special Lady. She was born Shirley Ann Pearce on Feb. 5, 1936 in Cooper Hollow, Ore. She was raised on a small farm with 10 siblings: four brothers and six sisters. She attended grade school in Antioch, Ore., and then the family moved to Grants Pass, where she went to high school. In 1954 she married Frank O. Murray, and they had four daughters: Debbie, Barbara, Kathy and Linda Murray. In 1970 she married Bill Woodbury and moved to O’Brien. With the marriage, she welcomed three step- children: Lee, Claudia and Glenn Woodbury. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She carried all those titles as badges of honor, treating everyone as her trophies. A very loving and loved special lady, she will be so deeply missed. She was our gift from God. She was our queen. She played for and was an active member of the Josephine County Women’s Softball League. Being a logger’s wife she took care of work- ers time sheets and pay checks. She took care of injured loggers and hugged worried wives and children. She spent hours in the sun flag- ging traffic while helicopters carried logs overhead. Her hobbies included playing cards and games, especially with family and friends, and having family and friends over for morning coffee. She also enjoyed bird watching and feeding birds and her squirrels; along with crocheting, gardening, word search puzzles and watching old Western movies. She loved caring for and loving her dogs, Tippy, Toby and Blazer. She specialized in making everyone feel like family with lots of hugs, smiles and kisses. She also loved Country Western music and dancing in her younger years. She loved nothing more than having a house filled with family, laughter and the smells of home-cooked food. Besides her husband, William H. “Bill” Woodbury, of O’Brien; surviving are six children, Deb- bie Ann Malone, of O’Brien; Barbara “Bobbie Jo” Annis, of Central Point; Linda Jean Cushman, of Medford; Lee Woodbury, of Santee, Calif.; Claudia Hansen and Glenn Woodbury, both of Central Point; four sisters, Hazel Wiensz, and Myrtle Dean, both of Merlin; Betty Goodchild, of Clovis, Calif.; and Darlene Benetti, of Grants Pass; a brother, Wilber Pearce, of Grants Pass; 19 grandchildren; 25 great-grandchildren; and 23 nieces and nephews.

West Nile activity also has been noted in mosquito pools in Baker, Umatilla and Jackson counties, and in three humans in Malheur County. Josephine County had no positive West Nile activity in 2007, while a majority of other counties had “positive activity.” “This is a reminder to avoid mosquito bites, espe- cially as outside activities increase,” said Belle Shep- herd, Public Health director. West Nile virus is spread to humans through bites of in- fected mosquitoes. Birds are the principal carriers of the virus. Infected birds are bitten by mosquitoes, which carry the virus to people. Most infections are mild, with fever and flu-like symp- toms, but severe infections cause inflammation of the brain and rarely, death. Indi- viduals who develop fever along with headache, stiff neck, or confusion, are en- couraged to see their medical- care provider. Horses also are at risk for WNV, but can be vaccinated. Horse owners are encouraged to contact their veterinarian. To prevent being bitten by mosquitoes, Josephine County Public Health recom- mends: *Keeping screen doors and windows tightly closed. Repair or replace screens that have tears or holes. *Wear long pants, long- sleeve shirts and other protec- tive clothing when outside. Advertising doesn’t cost, it pays. Phone 592-2541.
