Dorothy Radliff
Dorothy Evans Radliff, 95,
a longtime Hood River resi-
dent, went home to Heaven
gracefully on Wednesday
morning, June 17, 2015, at
Providence Hood River
Memorial Hospital. Dorothy
was born on Aug. 7, 1919, in
Whittier, Calif., to B. Ross
and Ruth (Kilmer) Smith
Evans, joining her sister,
Ruth, 20 months her senior.
During that time, her fa-
ther was managing a meat
market while attending Sem-
inary to become a minister,
and her mother was studying
g e n e r a l
music, voice
and piano.
World War I
was just com-
ing to an end,
and Woodrow
Wilson was
our 28th pres-
Dorothy
ident.
In 1922, B.
Radliff
Ross
was
called to his first pastorate in
Portland, Ore., and a result,
little Dorothy officially be-
came an “Oregonian” – a
title she would claim for the
rest of her life. It was in Port-
land where her brothers
Frederick Ross and Ben-
jamin Ross Jr. (Pat) were
born, and in late fall of 1924,
with four children in tow, B.
Ross began a new assign-
ment as pastor of the United
Brethren Church in Tillam-
ook, Ore., where baby sister
Eileen was born in 1926 and
Dorothy and her family lived
through her sophomore year
in high school.
During the Depression
years, Dorothy’s father held
evangelistic meetings to re-
cruit new members for small
churches throughout Oregon
that had been forced to close,
or were on the brink of clos-
ing due to lack of money. As
a result, Dorothy completed
her high school years in Cor-
bett, Hood River, and Eu-
gene, where she graduated in
1937.
After her graduation, the
Evans family moved back to
Hood River, where her father
became pastor of the (old)
Hood River Valley Christian
Church on Barrett Drive. It
was in Hood River that her
friend Madeline Wells (Ed-
wards) introduced her to a
college boy named Richard
Radliff, who at the time was
dumping cherries on the
cherry packing line at Nick-
elsen’s packing house to put
himself through school.
Dorothy often said that her
life truly began when she
winked at Richard while he
was working, causing him to
blush furiously and look
over his shoulder to see if
someone was standing be-
hind him.
Dorothy’s father officiated
at Dorothy and Richard’s
wedding on July 4, 1941, at
the Hood River Valley Chris-
tian Church. They lived in
Corvallis while Richard fin-
ished his last term of col-
lege, and then traveled to
many locations throughout
the United States after
Richard was called into ac-
tive duty by the Army in De-
cember 1941. Their first son,
Richard Jr. (Dick), was born
in June 1944 in Lawton,
Okla., while Richard was sta-
tioned at Fort Sill. Shortly
after Dick was born, Richard
was deployed to Germany
and Dorothy returned to
Hood River until he re-
turned.
After the war, and once
again living and working on
the family orchard in Hood
River, another son, Doug,
was born in February 1947,
followed by a daughter, Lau-
rie, in January 1956. Dorothy
lived the rest of her life in
Hood River, working as a
housewife, Scout den mother,
4-H leader, Sunday school
teacher and sports mom dur-
ing her child-raising years,
and later in retail sales at
Stones Ski and Sports, The
Gadabout, and Apland’s Jew-
elry in Hood River. She lost
her beloved Richard in April
2007, just two months before
their 66th anniversary.
Dorothy loved her family,
always putting their needs
and wants before her own.
She also loved to dance, play
golf, travel, be outdoors and
laugh – often infecting those
around her with her merri-
ment. She loved the Hood
River Valley Christian
Church, her Bible study
group, and spending time
with her many, many friends
– all of whom loved her dear-
ly and will miss her very
much.
Dorothy is survived by her
son Richard (Dick) Radliff
and his wife, Teri, of Hood
River; son Doug Radliff and
his wife, Lily, of Husum,
Wash.; and daughter, Laurie
Radliff Branson, and her
husband, Floyd, of Hood
River. She is also survived by
grandchildren Jeff Radliff,
Jill (Radliff) House, Jody
(Radliff) Loop, and Seth
Chandler; and great-grand-
daughter, Hannah Hart.
In addition to her hus-
band, Richard, Dorothy was
predeceased by her brother
Fred Evans in 2013, sister
Ruth (Evans) Wickersham in
2011, sister Eileen (Evans)
Bostwick in 2009, and broth-
er Benjamin Ross (Pat)
Evans Jr. in 1944.
Dorothy was a blessing to
all who knew and loved her.
Our lives are forever blessed
because of her life, and will
be forever changed as a re-
sult of her passing.
Memorials services are
planned for 1 p.m. Saturday,
June 27, at Hood River Valley
Christian Church, 975 Indian
Creek Road, Hood River. In-
terment will be at Idlewilde
Cemetery. Contributions
may be made to the Hood
River Valley Christian
Church in care of Ander-
son’s Tribute Center.

WEEKLY SUDOKU
ANSWER
Sponsored by:
mained close to over the
years.
Raised in Kansas City, Ron
was the oldest of seven boys.
He became the sole provider
for the family at a very young
age, and after recruiting and
training his six younger
brothers, he developed into a
fine art the finding, claiming
and defending of the best
restaurant dumpsters in the
neighbor-
hood. He said
they actually
ate pretty
well.
He made it
through most
of the sev-
enth g rade
before he was
able to land a
job running a
backhoe.
T hat ended
the dumpster
diving days.
Ron Luse
At 17, he was
invited
to
join the Army, and he was
promptly sent to Vietnam.
He had been “in country”
just a few days, riding in the
back of a personnel truck to
his first assignment miles
away. They were ambushed,
and Ron’s first instinct was
to dive under the truck. He
was able to reach up into the
cab and snag a rifle that was
alongside the seat to help
with the situation. By the
time the remainder of the
group reached their destina-
tion, the little 17 year-old
“Gandy from Kansas City”
was notorious. With only his
boot camp training and sixth
sense, he saved many lives.
He thought that was just a
normal day in country, and
was surprised by his hero’s
reception. His service to his
country as a combat veteran
refined and defined Ron’s
life.
As a Special Forces team
leader, he was awarded two
Silver Stars and numerous
other commendations. To
paraphrase one of his team,
“he was fearsome warrior if
the situation required …. He
was a team leader beyond
compare … I am only here
now because of his wise and
infor med sense of judg-
ment.”
Ron was an accomplished
logger, heavy equipment op-
erator and fixer, builder,
pilot, hunter, fisher man,
dragster builder and racer, a
craftsman of rare talent who
brought life and beauty to a
piece of metal, leather or
wood. He developed and
patented a special compound
bow, and won many archery
tournaments with it. He was
an accomplished bow and
rifle hunter and with his
good friends Brad Fowler
and Don Chandler, hunted
throughout the Northwest.
Ron was funny, smart, ad-
venturous, feisty, irascible,
bratty, and at times fero-
cious. He was very loving
and caring to those worthy of
it. Ron, we love you and miss
you.
He overcame many debili-
tating obstacles, including
serious health issues, but al-
ways found a way to work
through them. But one night
in early May, his heart must
have said, “brother, you’re
coming with me” and they
went peacefully into the
Light.
A memorial service is
scheduled for 1 p.m. Satur-
day, June 27, at the Parkdale
Baptist Church, 6310 Dee
Highway, Parkdale, OR 97041.
Ron would be beaming from
Heaven if donations in his
name were made to his
church.
All calls were responded
to within the City of Hood
River.
