A6 Hood River News, Saturday, January 3, 2015 O bituary Better Business Bureau reveals the top 10 scams Paid notice Willis Gholston Willis Lynn Gholston, 93, passed away Dec. 28, 2014, at The Oregon Veterans’ Home in The Dalles, Ore. Services are planned for 11:00 a.m., S a t u r d a y, January 3rd, 2015 at Mosier Grace Bible Church (201 3rd S t r e e t Mosier, Ore- gon 97040), with a lun- cheon to fol- low at the M o s i e r Grange. Willis was Willis born July 8, Gholston 1921, in Miller, Mo., to Martin Oliver and Daisy Pearl (Snyder) Gholston, but moved with his family in his youth to Mosier, Ore. He graduated from Mosier High School and attended Pacific University in Newberg, Ore. (which is now known as George Fox University). Willis enlisted and served our country proudly during World War II in the United States Coast Guard and later in the United States Navy. After his honorable dis- charge he returned to Mosier and married Margie Carrie Camp on Oct. 2, 1947. Willis and Margie worked together at the Mosier Post Office, where he served as postmaster from 1948 to 1978. After retirement he contin- ued volunteering in numer- ous community organiza- tions, including the Chenowith School District Board and hunter’s safety classes. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, traveling, attending high school sporting events, hiking, camping and spend- ing time with friends and family. The Gholstons’ passion was volunteering in their community. They were in- strumental in organizing the Mosier Meal Site and Senior Center. Willis’ memberships included the Elks Lodge, Lions Club, American Le- gion, Mosier Grange, Mosier Christian Church and Mosier Seniors. In a Feb. 16, 2000, Cascade Weekly article Willis said it best in regards to his volun- teerism: “I had so much plea- sure in meeting the people and giving them the service I could,” adding that he al- ways enjoys going the extra mile for people and “I’ve been interested in people all my life.” Willis is survived and will be dearly missed by three daughters: Jeanne Reeves (Bill), of Mosier, Marilynn Shaw (John), of Mosier and Molli Gholston, of Beaver- ton; son-in-law, Bob Hager of Grants Pass; three grand- children: Todd Reeves (Be- lenda), Carrie Reeves (Rob Siegle) and Kevin Hager (Teresa); five great-grand- daughters, Savannah Reeves, Maren Siegle, Maggie Siegle, Abigail Hager and Allison Hager. He was preceded in death by daughter Marlene Hager in 2003 and wife Margie in 2013. Memorials are encouraged to be made in Willis’ name to American Cancer Society, Guide Dogs for the Blind or the charity of your choice.
