her great-grandchildren as wonderful blessings as they came

enjoyed watching and listening to. Many teenagers called her

Lyola was known for her remarkable good health and vigor.
She was very appreciative of this blessing. It helped her to

companion until the end, even as her dwindling eyesight and

Jeffrey Krier
Jeffrey Cunningham Krier was born
March 24, 1950, and passed away March 22,
2021. Always a force, Jeff’s life is summed up
best in the words of his daughter Samantha:
“My dad left this earth and went to sing
with the angels in heaven. My dad was such
a gentle, kind soul, with a personality as big
Jeffrey Krier as the state of Texas. He was loud, funny,
goofy, a sports fanatic — Giants, 49ers, UO
Ducks were his favorite — he loved to sing, to watch and talk
sports with anyone, loved food, was always dressed in a suit
and tie, he was very religious and a devoted Episcopalian, a
friend, a grandpa, a brother, an uncle, a cousin and father. He
never missed a sporting event and sang the national anthem
at just about every one of Josh’s and my games and was prob-
ably the loudest in the stands yelling 'Hubba Hubba!' If you
knew my dad, you knew his zest for life. Due to physical and
mental difficulties, the last few years were incredibly hard for
him and he fought as hard as he could. It was his time, and he
is no longer in pain, but in peace.”
Born in The Dalles to Dorothy Jean Cunningham and
Malcolm Sampson Krier, he graduated from The Dalles High
School and Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Ore. In 1977,
he married Debbie Tooley. He was in sales most of his profes-
sional career (Meadow Outdoor Advertising) and volunteered
in many community activities, using his powerful tenor voice
in musical theater, the Cascade Singers, River City Dudes
barbershop quartet, and sports announcing. He was a cradle
Episcopalian, actively involved in St. Paul’s throughout his
life.
He is survived by son Joshua Krier (Rachel) and daughters
Samantha Tenneson (Andrew) and Katee Krier; five grand-
children; brother James Krier (Margey) and sister Patricia
Krier (Tom); and many beloved nieces, nephews, and cous-
ins. He was preceded in death by his parents, Malcolm and
Jean.
When we can once again gather, hopefully in the summer
or fall, there will be a celebration of life service at St. Paul’s
with time to sing, share stories, and celebrate Jeff’s goodness
and humor. Donations may be made in Jeff’s name to St.
Paul’s Episcopal Church in The Dalles, Ore.
Anna "Pauline” Kennedy
Anna "Pauline” (Fletcher) Kennedy, 86,
passed away on April 17, 2021, surrounded
by her family and an orchard full of beautiful
white blossoms, her favorite flower color.
Pauline was born Sept. 24,1934, in Hood
River and grew up and worked on the family
farm in Odell with her sister Patricia. She
attended Odell High School, where she was
a member of the Pep Squad and volleyball
team. She met her husband John in high
school and they were married shortly after
in December 1954. She and John lived and
worked on the farm that was started by her
parents, Shorty and Ann Fletcher.
Pauline had many hobbies. She enjoyed
gardening, the sewing club, knitting, weaving,

Kennedy
taining and cooking for friends and family.
She was proud to have traveled to London and Australia with
her grandson Jack to attend Le Cordon Bleu Cooking Schools.
Later in life, she and John enjoyed traveling and took many
memorable trips with close friends.
Perhaps her greatest love was being around her kids, grand-
kids and great-granddaughter. She loved hosting holidays and
birthday celebrations at her home, attending the grandkids’
sporting events and just getting the family together as often as
possible.
Pauline was preceded in death by her parents and husband
John, who passed away in 2001. She is survived by her sister
Pat Pattison (Bill), nephew Don (who gave her the nickname
“NeeNee” that is still used to this day by all of her kids and
grandkids) and nephew Pete; son Patrick (Mary Beth), grand-
son Jack (Ashley), grandson Andy (Sadie) and great-grand-
daughter Quinn; daughter Tracy Clark of Portland (Tom),
granddaughter Lily and grandson Jay; and son Barry (Carrie),
grandson Parker and granddaughter Katie.
The family would like to thank all of the wonderful family
and friends of John and Pauline who have reached out and
shared condolences. A private family celebration will be held
at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to
Providence Hospice of The Gorge c/o Anderson’s Tribute
Center. Visit www.AndersonsTributeCenter.com to leave a
note of condolence for the family.
