Rae Jackson
Eula “Rae” Jackson, 84,
passed away Dec. 26, 2014, at
Hawks Ridge Assisted Living
in Hood River, Ore. She was
sur rounded
by her surviv-
ing children
as well as
other mem-
bers of the
family. Rae
was born May
17, 1930, in
W h e e l e r , Rae Jackson
Texas, to Pre-
ston and Etta Jackson. She
grew up in Texas attending
school there before moving to
California, Arizona, Montana
and finally settling in Oregon.
Rae was once an excellent
bowler, and she shared this
sport with her husband of 35
years, Fred. She was twice the
president of the Parent-
Teacher Association in Re-
dondo Beach, Calif. She was
Cub Scout den mother more
than once, and team mom as
well.
Rae met Harlan Pitts about
25 years ago, and they were
partners until he passed away
earlier this year. She also
served on the Mosier City
Council in her late 70s. She
made friends quickly — often
with those half her age. Her
feisty personality and sense of
humor were loved by all who
knew her, but her greatest gift
was being a loving and sup-
portive mother and grand-
mother.
She worked in medical
billing for several doctors and
medical groups. She loved
this work, and she prided her-
self on getting every nickel
she could for her employers.
This often resulted in hugs
and occasional raises.
Rae loved animals, espe-
cially her cats. She also en-
joyed knitting, crafts and
bingo. She was raised in the
Baptist faith, and she re-
mained a Christian all of her
life. Her love of animals en-
couraged her to be a member
of the Humane Society.
Rae is survived by her
three children: Steve Jackson,
from Oceanside, Calif., Kay
Nunez, from Carson, Calif.,
and Chris Jackson and his
wife, Cary, from Hood River,
Ore. Rae has seven grandchil-
dren: Damian Jackson, April
Abercrombie, Erika McDaris,
Travis Jackson, Candice
Miles, August Jackson and
Madison Jackson. She is also
survived by 12 great-grand-
children.
She was preceded in death
by her parents; husband, Fred
Jackson; son, Richard Jack-
son; two daughters-in-law,
Debra Harris and Bonnie
Jackson; and partner, Harlan
Pitts.
Services are pending at this
time with ar rangements
under the direction of Ander-
son’s Tribute Center (Funer-
als • Receptions • Crema-
tions), 1401 Belmont Ave.,
Hood River, OR 97031; 541-386-
1000. Please visit anderson-
stributecenter.com to leave a
note of condolence for family.
Memorials may be made in
Rae’s name to the Humane So-
ciety.

Robert Larson
Robert Larson, 82, died on
Oct. 28, 2014, while on vaca-
tion with his daughter, Stina,
in Bergen, Norway. His family
is deeply saddened by this un-
expected loss, but are com-
forted know-
ing that he
was doing
what he loved
in a part of
the world that
he cherished.
Robert was
born on Oct.
Robert Larson 9, 1932, in
Spokane,
Wash., to Victor and Kather-
ine Larson, and was the eldest
of four siblings. He attended
Rogers High School in
Spokane, and continued his
education at Washington
State University in Pullman,
Wash., where he received his
master’s degree in pharma-
cology. He married Dawn
Springer on Sept. 3, 1957, and
they moved to Iowa, where he
earned his Ph.D. in pharma-
cology at Iowa State Universi-
ty. After his residency at the
National Institutes of Health
in Washington, D.C., he
moved to Oregon with his
wife and eldest daughter,
where he became a professor
of pharmacology and toxicol-
ogy at Oregon State Universi-
ty in Corvallis.
Robert had a deep apprecia-
tion for the outdoors and
chose a home in the country-
side of Philomath to raise his
family. He was passionate
about music and played the
clarinet and saxophone very
well. He was also interested in
other cultures and loved to
travel.
While at OSU he took two
sabbaticals with his family to
conduct research at the
Karolinska Institutet in Swe-
den and the University of
Tubingen in Germany. He and
Dawn were also active in the
Philomath High School Amer-
ican Field Service club and
hosted students from Japan
and Austria.
After retirement he and his
wife moved to Hood River,
Ore., and subsequently spent
a year in China teaching
pharmacology with the World
Health Organization. Al-
though his wife’s death in
2002 was difficult, he stayed
active and continued travel-
ing the world. He took multi-
ple trips with i-to-i Interna-
tional, traveling to South
Africa, Australia, Argentina
and Borneo where he volun-
teered with organizations res-
cuing animals and preserving
their habitat. He enjoyed his
work with i-to-i immensely
and was proud to be one of
the oldest volunteers —
known to some as the “78 year
old Lion Man.”
Robert also maintained
strong ties with relatives and
close friends in Sweden, and
traveled there whenever pos-
sible. He loved the Columbia
Gorge and remained active by
hiking, and especially en-
joyed taking anyone who vis-
ited on tours of the area —
sometimes in his convertible
Camaro!
He was preceded in death
by his wife, Dawn Larson, and
his sister Ellen Brown.
He is survived by his two
sisters, Ruth Larson and
Irene Wesel; his daughter
Laurel Medinger, her hus-
band Julian Medinger and
their children, Mikaila,
Samantha and Evan; his
daughter Stina Larson and
her husband Donald Kies-
ling Jr.; and his son Eric
Larson.
We invite friends and fami-
ly to join in a celebration of
his life at 2 p.m. on Saturday,
Jan. 17, at the Banks Commu-
nity United Methodist
Church in Banks, Ore. Re-
