Vital Statistics
Robert Bob Lane
Robert J. “Bob” Lane, a cherished pillar of the Yoncalla
community, passed away peacefully on February 4,
2024, in Springfield, Oregon, just weeks before his 93rd
birthday. Born on February 24, 1931, in Canoga Park,
California, Bob was a man of steadfast faith, generous
spirit, and old-fashioned demeanor, who dedicated his
life to family, work, church and community.
Bob’s journey began as the son of Jesse and Merle
(Wilson) Lane, and he shared his childhood with his
twin sister Roberta Turner and sister Darlene Cox, all of
whom predeceased him. His roots ran deep in Yoncalla,
where his family moved during his teenage years, and
where he would eventually build his own legacy. Bob’s
formative years were spent at Yoncalla High School,
where he graduated before embarking on a lifelong
career as a mill worker at Drain Plywood. Over the
course of more than four decades, Bob witnessed the

company’s evolution through various name changes,
remaining a dedicated and hardworking employee until
his retirement.
Bob’s heart found its match in Rose (Brant) Lane,
with whom he shared a loving marriage of 60 years.
They were united in matrimony on April 6, 1950, in
Sutherlin, Oregon, and together they nurtured a family
that included their daughter Sharon Caraway, daughter
Diane Lane Millhollin, son Ron Lane, and daughter
Lynn Thompson. Bob and Rose worked hard as a team
at their ranch on Halo Trail, raising cattle, sheep and hay,
as well as produce from the garden.
A man of deep faith, Bob was an active member of the
Yoncalla Church of Christ, where he served as an Elder,
sang in the choir, participated in and led Bible study
groups. His commitment to his church was matched by
his dedication to volunteer work. Bob and Rose were
known for their compassion and generosity, particularly
in their efforts to support their community and church
in helping those in need. Together they were honored
as Community Citizens of the Year for their volunteer
work.
Bob’s last few years were spent at a dementia care
facility where he was a regular participant in numerous
activities provided by the facility. He spent much of
his time studying the Bible, and was always there to
befriend fellow residents. Bob was known by the staff
and medical team at the facility as a “wonderfully kind
gentleman with a cheesy sense of humor.” The family
would like to thank the team at ElderHealth & Living for
their kindness in caring for our dad.
Bob is survived by his 4 children, as well as 7
