Harold Ammons
Harold Glen Ammons was born Aug. 6,
1937, in Spencerville, Okla., to Wallace P. and
Jessie M (Frazier) Ammons. Harold passed
away on Feb. 17, 2021, at Mid-Columbia
Medical Center in The Dalles, Ore. He had
been a resident of the Oregon Veteran’s
Home in The Dalles since December 2018.
Harold moved with his family from
Oklahoma at age 5. The family settled in
Harold
Mayville, Ore., where Harold attended grades
Ammons
1-8 at Mayville Grade School; he graduated
from Condon High School in 1956. He joined the U.S. Army
in 1959 and returned to Condon, Ore., after his two years of
service. He began working at Burns Bros. Grocery in Condon,
where he met his wife Katheryn Lou Boyer (Burns). Harold
and Katheryn Lou were married in March 1965 and he also
became a parent to Debby and Dan Boyer.
Harold later worked for John Deere in Condon and in
Pendleton, Ore., for several years. He retired twice from his
sales position with Bob Stone Subaru in The Dalles. Harold
had a loyal customer base and many people in the area would
only talk to Harold when they were ready for a new car. Car
sales was his calling; he enjoyed working with people and
remained friends with customers past his retirement. During
this time, he spent most of his time driving, delivering cars
from Condon to Pendleton, and Madras or The Dalles area.
Harold was a devoted member of the Condon Elks Lodge,
and he loved golf, watching bull riding, and listening to
western music. He was also enormously proud of his family
Choctaw heritage. Harold will always be remembered for his
goodness, kindness, and devotion to his family, particularly
his grandchildren, who he helped raise.
Harold is survived by his stepdaughter, Debra Boyer
(George Yeannakis) of Seattle, Wash., grandchildren
Thea Yeannakis, Gretchen, Rachel, and Seth Boyer, and
great-grandchildren Brooke Yeannakis (daughter of Thea)
Sydney Boyer (daughter of Seth Boyer) and Cormac Porter
(son of Rachel Boyer). He is also survived by his brother Jim
Ammons (DuAnn) of Summerville, Ore., and sister Patsy
Moffit (Dennis) of Pendleton, and many nieces and nephews
who adored him, and his sister and brother-in-law, Sue and
Gary Miller of Condon.
Harold was preceded in death by his wife, Katheryn Lou
Ammons (2005), his stepson, James Daniel Boyer (2013), and
his father, mother, and sisters, Helen Owen and Sue Tolan.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to
Condon Elks Lodge No. 1869 and St. John’s Catholic Church
in Condon.
Due to COVID-19, a graveside service will be held later
in the spring. Sweeney Mortuary of Condon is in care of
arrangements. You may sign the online condolence book at
