Florence Spear Melvin, age 89 of Hermiston, Oregon died following a long illness 2/18/15
at the Columbia Care Cottage in Hermiston where she resided for several years. Florence
was born to Orlin and Alta Gray Spear in Topeka, Kansas on March 6, 1925. She was
proceeded in death by her husband, Bert R. Melvin, Sisters Etta Correll Mack, Teresa
Walker, Brother Luther Correll and grandsons, Stuart Stratton and Carey Ancel. Florence
is survived by sisters Pauline Huff of La Junta, Colorado and Irene Brown of Port Ludlow,
Washington and 7-children, Marie Robertson of The Woodlands, Texas, Betty Roussos of
Vancouver, BC Canada and Lee Melvin of North Plains, Oregon, Doris Walls, Darlene
TeHennepe, Karen Boardman, and Donna Brown of Hermiston, 11 grandchildren and 16
great grandchildren. The family will always remember the kind, loving, generous and
honorable way that she lived her life. Florence quietly and humbly lived out her faith by
example and her spirit resides in the bosom of her Heavenly Father. Her body will be
interred beside her husband in the Hermiston Cemetery. As a child, Florence lived with
her family on land they homesteaded in Kansas, but when they lost their farm they went
west in a covered wagon, first to New Mexico and then to California where they settled in
Vallejo. As a teen during WWII, Florence joined the war effort and worked in a California
ship yard. Florence moved to Onalaska, Washington and then to Salem, Oregon with her brother, where she met Bert
Melvin. The family moved to Ontario, Oregon and later to Cottage Grove. Bert built a home for his fa mily, but when they were
at the drive-in theater their house burned and they lost everything. The town’s people were kind and generous, and soon the
family had more than before the fire. Shortly afterward they moved to Irrigon and then in 1954 to He rmiston where Florence
remained until her death. Anyone who met Florence was impressed not only by her goodness, but by her intelligence and
sense of humor. It was obvious that she loved people and animals, but especially her mini schnauzers , Sumo Max, Sammy,
Gin and Pippie. Florence worked in the Hermiston School District kitchens for 27 years until her ret irement. Of all Florence’s
accomplishments the greatest of all was her success as a mother. When times are tough, her children never went to bed
hungry if she had to deny herself. She supported her children in all of their school and church acti vities and in 1961 Florence
was recognized as mother of the year. Even though Florence’s family and friends will greatly miss th eir lives were far richer
because of her.
