Louise Piper
Johnson
Louise A. Samuel Piper
Johnson, of Milton-Freewa-
ter, Ore., passed away April
18, 2015, in Walla Walla,
Wash. A celebration of life
will be held
on Saturday,
April 25, at
11 a.m. at the
Milton-Free-
water First
Christian
Church, 518
S. Main St.,
Louise
Milton-Free-
Piper Johnson w a t e r, O R
97862.
She was born Nov. 12,
1926, in Hood River, Ore., to
Ja ke a n d I re n e ( Fewe l )
Samuel. When Louise was
12 years old she joined Roy
Webster, his twin daughters
and her best friend Marge
Oats in a swim across the
Columbia River. Her father
Jake rowed the boat along-
side the swimmers. She was
the youngest of the three
who finished the swim that
day. That original swim be-
came an annual event. This
fall will be the 73rd Annual
Roy Webster Cross Channel
Swim.
During her high school
sophomore year after living
in the same house in Hood
River all her life (225 Mon-
tello), her father was given
a job transfer to Milton-
Freewater, Ore. She never
forgot that day Dec. 7, 1941,
since it coincided with the
attack on Pearl Harbor (two
d ev a s t a t i n g a n n o u n c e -
ments in one day). The fam-
ily lived in Milton-Freewa-
ter for 1½ years before mov-
ing back to Hood River.
Sadly, when she moved back
to Hood River she found
that all her Japanese
friends and classmates were
no longer in school or in the
area. They had been in-
t e r n e d i n c a m p s wh i l e
many of the older male
Japanese high school class-
mates enlisted as U.S. sol-
diers.
During her senior year at
Hood River High School she
was crowned the Strawber-
ry Festival Queen. The fol-
lowing fall she enrolled at
Oregon State College where
she was a member of the
Delta Delta Delta Sorority.
At the end of World War
II she married Dick Piper
from Milton-Freewater on
Aug. 17, 1949, just a year shy
of her college graduation.
They were married for 54
years. After Dick’s death
she met John Johnson in a
h o s p i c e g r i e f r e c ove r y
class. They married July 10,
2003.
She is survived by her
husband A.F. (John) John-
son, son Rick and wife Vick-
ie Piper, daughter Kris and
husband Tim Barry; grand-
children Johnna (Tyler)
B a c k h a u s, H e i d i P i p e r
(Josh Flores), Seth Piper
(Rebecca Havers), Connor
Barry and Patrick Barry
(Christina); and g reat-
grandsons Jack and Landon
Barry.
Preceding her in death
were Richard E. (Dick)
Piper and her parents.

Jean S.
Wells
A longtime
Hood River
resident,
Je a n
S.
We l l s, d i e d
on Saturday,
March
7,
2015, at Prov-
Jean Wells
idence Hood
River Memo-
rial Hospital, surrounded
by family. Jean was born on
June 13, 1930, in Bend, Ore.,
to Jack and Sarah (Hohn-
stein) Shumway of Powell
Butte. She grew up on their
sheep ranch and attended
Powell Butte Grade School,
but she was always a “city
girl” at heart.
Jean went to high school
in Portland at St. Mary’s
Academy and g raduated
from Oregon State College
in 1952. She was a member
of Alpha Xi Delta sorority
and stayed in touch with
her sorority sisters with a
“round robin letter” that
continues in circulation to
this day.
After college she taught
seventh grade at John Tuck
School in Redmond, Ore.,
for three years. While work-
ing there, Ted Wells, whom
she met in college, asked
her on a date. They were
married on July 10, 1955,
and moved to Spokane,
Wash., where he was a pilot
in the U.S. Air Force. They
subsequently returned to
Central Oregon and added
to the family they started in
Spokane. Before making
their home in Hood River,
in 1971, they lived in Sunny-
side, Wash., and Newberg,
Ore.
During the years raising
their children she was ac-
tively involved in all as-
pects of their lives as well
as maintaining her own in-
terests and activities. She
helped her children with
homework, academic and
creative projects as well as
attended and cheered at her
children’s sporting events.
She worked hard to main-
tain a sane and functioning
household for her husband,
four children and myriad
cats and dogs. She found
creative expression in gar-
dening, sewing, quilting
and cooking and was in-
volved in local organiza-
tions, including St. Mark’s
Guild and AAUW.
After her children left
home, she continued her
service to the community,
volunteering her time work-
ing in the St. Mark’s Episco-
pal Church office. She was
actively involved in the St.
Mark’s Guild, serving as
both president and treasur-
er several times over the
years. She volunteered de-
livering Meals on Wheels
and at the FISH Food Bank.
While working at the
church, she was part of a
project to create a timeline
of the history of St. Mark’s
in Hood River. This became
and ongoing interest of
hers and she dedicated time
and effort into researching
and writing about the
church’s history. Because of
this, along with her amaz-
ing memory, she became an
invaluable resource as the
church’s unofficial histori-
an. She always enjoyed
learning new things. She
taught herself how to use
one of the early personal
computers and was instru-
mental in getting the
church office computerized.
She introduced her friends
and grandchildren to com-
puters, saying, “If I can
learn this in my mid-50s,
anyone can.”
She and her husband Ted
enjoyed the adventures of
these years, traveling and
sailing on the Columbia
River and the San Juan Is-
lands. They lived for a few
years in Alaska, which gave
them many stories to tell. In
her later years, she contin-
ued her work and involve-
ment with the St. Mark’s
Guild as well as FISH.
She is survived by her
h u s b a n d , Te d We l l s, o f
Hood River, and her brother,
Ray Shumway, as well as by
h e r d a u g h t e r s, S h a r o n
Wells of San Francisco and
Diane Wells of Oregon City,
and sons, Stuart Wells of
Palmer, Alaska and Greg
Wells of Honolulu, Hawaii.
She is also survived by her
g randchildren,
Aaron
Wells, Nicholas Wells and
Jasper Fowler, and great-
g randson, Julius James
Wells.
A memorial service is
being held on Sunday, April
26, at 2 p.m. at St. Mark’s
Church, at 11th and Eugene
streets in Hood River. In
lieu of flowers, the family
requests that donations be
made to the St. Mark’s En-
dowment Fund, 400 11th St.,
Hood River, OR 97031; 541-

RosieBee loves car
rides, walks and treats
This week volunteers at
Adopt A Dog have selected
RosieBee as the program’s
adoptable pet of the week:
Well, who’s ready for some
FUN?! RosieBee always is, so
bring the tennis balls and let’s
get to it!
RosieBee may be 8 years
old, but she’s got the energy
and action of a 2 year
old! RosieBee’s owners are
moving and can’t take her
with them, so they asked us to
help find this happy girl a new
forever home, and we know
there are some great Choc Lab
lovers out there who would
love to have RosieBee part of
their family. She used to live
outside, but now that she’s in
a foster home, she likes right
next to the bed much better!
She loves to hang out with
her peeps when they’re work-
ing in the garden, or out and
about, and her favorite spot is
anywhere near the car —
she’s always ready for a trip
into town, or drive around the
neighborhood! She loves
being in the car! Can’t find
her? Look to the car!
And RosieBee can walk for
miles, although she usually
trots along instead of
walk. She’s always been off-
leash, but has become a fan-
tastic leashed walker. She
comes to her name, so either
way is fine with her. And she
has manners and basic com-
mands down. She’ll do just
about anything for a treat and
when she came to us she need-
ed to drop a few pounds, but
with all the fun times and
daily walks, she’s dropped the
old excess baggage with not a
single complaint!
She’s a fun-loving girl, just
hoping someone will throw
the ball! Like most Choc labs,
Miss RosieBee loves the water
RosieBee
and good games of fetch. She
has lived with other dogs, big
and small, and cats, too. But
she’s rather be an only dog.
She’s fine with just about any-
thing. She likes kids, too, but
we wonder if her gusto for life
might just knock a little one
down on their keis-
ter! RosieBee is super lovable
and attentive, loyal as they
come and ready for a new
start. She’s house trained, cur-
rent on shots, microchipped
and spayed. The adoption fee
for RosieBee is $150. The fee to
adopt is charged to recoup
standard veterinary expenses.
Since many of our dogs are in
foster, please call ahead to
meet RosieBee in Odell at the
Hukari Animal Shelter 3910
Heron Drive, or call for more
information at 541-354-1083.
Adoption hours are Wedns-
day, 5-7 p.m. and Saturday, 9-11
a.m. You can fill out an appli-
cation online at our website
www.hoodriveradoptadog.org
or download and scan and
email to us at adopta-
dog@gorge.net, or fax it in to
1-877-833-7166. We offer 24Pet-
Watch microchips, which in-
clude free registration into
the 24PetWatch pet recovery
service. For more information

call 1-866-597-2424.
