Break-in, theft at concession stand
A thief made off with
about $100 in candy, and
possibly soda, from McNary
High School’s concession
stand over the weekend.
Keizer Police Offi cer Da-
vid Zavala, McNary High
School’s resource offi cer, re-
Markings suggest a skateboard
might have been used to pry
it open.
The suspect entered the
concession stand through the
window and then left through
the doors which were found
closed, but unlocked. The
sponded to the report of a
break-in about 11:45 a.m.
Monday, Nov. 21.
Zavala said it appeared as
though someone had forced
open a wood panel that cov-
ers a window on the north
side of the concession stand.

wood panel had also been
placed back into position
concealing the entry point.
In addition to damages to
the window and cover sup-
ports, a nacho cheese machine
might have been knocked
over during the theft. The ma-
chine was purchased for $500,
but repairs might be possible.
Shannon Shore, a mem-
ber of the McNary Athletic
Booster Club, provided the es-
timate of the contents stolen,
but the total may be updated.
It is believed that the thief
entered the concession stand
sometime between 6 p.m.
Friday, Nov. 18, and Monday
morning.

Joyce raised sheep, her favorite
was a lamb named Georgie.
Joyce was rarely idle. After
raising her children she took up
oil painting and
fi lled her home
with seascapes,
landscapes
and roses. She
had a public
art showing at
the Beaverton
J. Worden
City Hall just
months before
passing.
She was a member of the
Keizer Art Association and the
Salem Senior Center where
she enjoyed singing as wall as
in the choir at Keizer Christian
Church where she was proud
to be a charter member. She
enjoyed dancing and took les-
sons at France School of Dance
well into her 50s.
Joyce was blessed to have nu-
merous grandchildren: Amanda
Motley (Robert) of Keizer,
Melody Maertens (Roland) of
Mobile, Ala., Travis Worden and
Trent Worden of Salem, Ni-
cole Worden of Silverton, and
Austin Worden of Sacramento,
Calif. Great grandchildren in-
clude Jake, Garrett and Rose-
lyne with one on the way
One of Joyce’s favorite plac-
es was the Oregon coast where
she was laid to rest on a hillside
overlooking the Pacifi c Ocean.
Per her request no funeral
services were held. For those
wishing to do so, donations can
be made to the Union Gospel
Mission. Joyce would also en-
courage a visit to Keizer Chris-
tian Church where she found a
warm and loving home to wor-
ship over a half a century.

Joyce Worden was born in
Colville, Wash., on February
22, 1930, but her family’s home
was in Alladin, a small rural area
nearby.
Growing up during the
Great Depression had a big in-
fl uence on her. She learned to
be frugal and to take very good
care of what little she had.
She attended a small, one-
room school. Being somewhat
of a tom boy, she enjoyed roam-
ing the countryside with her
dog named Bloop - occasion-
ally skipping school with her
cousin Kapper.
Joyce was the youngest of
four children. Francis Loiselle
the eldest, followed by Gen-
erieve and brother Roy, all of
her siblings preceded her in
death.
In 1937, the family moved
to Amity, pursuing an oppor-
tunity to farm, raise dairy stock
and sell eggs.
Joyce later attended Am-
ity Union High School where
she enjoyed playing on the vol-
leyball team and in track and
fi eld. She remembered those
days as some of the best in her
life and always looked forward
to the Amity-Dayton rivalry
football games. She returned to
watch the teams collide many
times.
After graduation, she worked
at Oregon Mutual Bank in
McMinnville, as well as for the
State of Oregon in Salem.
On Oct. 27, 1950, she mar-
ried Walter R. Worden in Salem
where they took up residence.
Together they raised three
children, a daughter, Vicky Ann,
followed by two sons, Bradley
John and Guy Allen.
In 1957, the family settled on
small acreage in Keizer where
