‘How do you feel about Walmart breaking ground in Warrenton?’

THE DAILY ASTORIAN // QUESTION OF THE WEEK
OBITUARIES
Marilyn Jean (Paulson) Halbrook
Seaside
Oct. 22, 1938 — Dec. 1, 2016
The warming center also
loans out clean, presentable
clothes for their guests to
wear at job interviews and
other appointments.
In previous years, the
center opened only during
inclement weather, or when
the temperature dropped
below 40 degrees. Last
winter, the center operated
66 nights and put up 98
people, according to cen-
ter tallies.
Peterson said the center
needs more volunteers. For
information, visit the warm-
ing center’s Facebook page
or email astoriawarmingcen-
ter@gmail.com.
Shower, laundry services available
The Astoria Warming
Center reopened in Novem-
ber and will operate every
night through March 15.
The nonprofi t shelter,
housed in the basement of
the First United Method-
ist Church on Franklin Ave-
nue and 11th Street , is a place
for homeless people to come
in from the harsh winter
weather, eat a warm meal, get
some sleep and enjoy break-
fast the next morning. It is
open 8 p.m. through 7:30 a.m.
The warming center offers
limited shower and laundry
service, in addition to new
cots and sleeping pads.
Lately, the center has been
averaging 23 to 24 guests
per night, according to Dean
Peterson, a nonprofi t board
member and volunteer. The
capacity is 30.
“Some people, they actu-
ally use (the center) to sleep
before they go to a job. They
take showers before they go
to a job,” Peterson said. “I
mean, they’re homeless, but
some of them are working.”

In the world’s economy, she was a throw-
away who could not, or would not, pay her bills.
What the world didn’t know, had it cared, was
that she had been dealt a game-of-life card so
worthless, it hadn’t paid to play; yet to her credit,
she had stayed “in” for the ones she loved.
Also unknown: She had been a God-sent
teacher of “mercy over wisdom.”
Repatriated to God, Candi Ross of Arizona,
died in Portland, Oregon, at 4 a.m. on Nov. 30,
2016, following a lifetime of heartbreak.
Candi was the beautiful and beloved adopted
daughter of Seaside resident Anna Ryan. She is
survived also by a sister, her life-partner of 15
years, and three lovely young girls.
In honor of Candi’s contribution to the
education of many, my annual gift-giving to
homeless shelter residents hereafter will be
known as “Mercy over Wisdom by Candi Ross
Christmas.”
