Barbara Butler was born Dec. 26, 1924, in Spokane, Washington. In 1942, she met and married Andrew Mur- phy and had their two daughters, Kathleen and Elaine. During their marriage they traveled the world to places such as New Zealand, Trini- dad, Colombia and Canada, raising Kathy and Elaine in many different parts of the world, among different cultures.

She became a stepmother to Jerry, Sherry and Rick. Barbara and Swede traveled all over the Northwest for Swede’s logging job, where she oftentimes became the camp cook. She showed her love by making amazing meals and the best butterhorns, maple bars and cookies. A graveside service is scheduled for Sept. 19, 2019, at 11 a.m., at Evergreen Cemetery in Seaside, Oregon. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Barbara Olson’s life. Flowers and condolences can be sent to Hughes-Ransom Mortuary, 220 N. Holladay Drive, Seaside, OR., 97138. Micheline Anne Lykins Astoria Aug. 4, 1955— Aug. 31, 2019 Micheline Anne Lykins unexpectedly passed away in her home on Aug. 31. Mikey, as she often went by, was the eldest of her three siblings, and born in Chicago, Illi- nois. After relocating with her family to Arizona for her high school years, she spent a short time in Texas before making her way to Oregon. It was in Astoria, Oregon, where she eventually chose to settle down and raise her own family. Mikey enjoyed gardening and the beach. Arts and crafts were her strong suit. She was a lifelong crocheter, and was usually in the mid- dle of a new blanket for someone. She founded a nonproﬁ t, Northwest Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation, and dedicated herself to ﬁ nding resources to help injured wildlife. She frequently rehabilitated these injured animals in her home, with the advice of local veterinarians. There wasn’t an animal alive she wouldn’t help. Many will remember her for her chatty nature, as she could so often be found on the phone amid, sometimes, hours long conversa- tions. She loved her family and her pets. Christ- mas was always her favorite holiday, and she would hope for snow every year, even though it rarely made its appearance at the coast. Micheline is preceded in death by her par- ents, Russell and Vivian Nast, and her late hus- band, Roger Lykins. She is survived by her partner, Michael Davis; siblings, Elizabeth Garrett, Russell Nast Jr. and Kathleen Pollini; her children, Marie Saum, Cecil Wallace, Shannon Jiggens and Mae Lykins; and her grandchildren, Casey Bigelow, Dylan Bigelow, Rylan Jiggens, Kiera Saum and Kelby Saum. Micheline’s ashes will be spread at some of her favorite places at a later date.
