July 12, 1956-March 18, 2016 Violet Irene Hall died peacefully in her home on March 28, 2016, surrounded by her family. Her big heart ¿nally gaYe out after 0 years. She was someone who was a friend to eYerybody. There were no strangers in her life, only friends she hadn’t met yet. Violet “Vi” Hall was born in Onalaska, Wash- ington, March 1, 126, to 5ogel and Myrtle Music. She grew up with her parents and brothers in the Tacoma, Washington, area. After her father’s tragic death, at age 12 Violet became her mother’s biggest helper. During the Depression, Violet learned to be frugal and became one of the world’s best at reusing and recycling, a passion she maintained throughout her life. She met her Hall future husband, Edward Hall, while liYing in Haines, Oregon, in 1. They were married February , 1. Vi, Ed and the four older kids liYed in Haines until 161 before moYing to Hermiston, where Dale and Kathy were born. In the house on %a[ter 5oad they raised their six children, instilling in them their Yalues of loYe, compassion, integrity, honesty, and hard work. Their home was the neighborhood gathering place for kids who often enjoyed a sweet treat hot out of the oYen. It was a warm and welcoming home full of books, games and puzzles for all of the kids to enjoy and learn from. Violet belieYed in the Yalue of education. She was a lifelong learner and passed this Yalue on to all of her children. She was Yery proud of her 20-plus years as an OS8 mom, serYing as the local chapter’s organizer and historian. Violet wasn’t just a supporter, she was a cheerleader of her children’s dreams, their education and all their Yarious endeaYors. Violet was a Yolunteer extraordinaire. She was a leader of -H, &ub Scouts, %oy Scouts and &¿re *irls. &ountless hours were logged at school functions helping out whereYer needed. She helped at blood driYes for oYer 0 years and she belieYed in donating blood and was proud of her 8 gallon certi¿cate. /ater in life, neYer missing an opportunity to help others, she Yolunteered at the Hermiston Senior &enter. Always proud of her family’s pioneering roots, Violet worked many hours on the family’s genealogy, recording her family’s history for future generations. In the early 10s, Violet was actiYe with the original land use planning efforts in Umatilla and was a life- time member of the VFW Auxiliary. /earning about the area’s geology captiYated her interest enough for her to enroll in classes at %M&& and to join the Hat 5ock 5ock Hounds exploring the area, the region and the state’s geology. Addition- ally she was able to use her experience as a newspaper reporter and her loYe and talent as a writer to good use writing the 5ock Hounds newsletter. Violet held Yarious jobs oYer her life. At the age of 18 she became a painter’s helper in the shipyards during WWII, helping with the war efforts. She worked at the Umatilla Army Depot in 13 and again in the 10s. Violet was a reporter for the Record Courier in Baker, Oregon, when she liYed in Haines during the 10s and again in recent years, recounting and reporting on her many memo- ries of life in Haines. She worked at Walchli Farms on the potato line, as a custodian at Armand /ariYe -unior High School and Mc&abe’s &afp. She was also a lifeguard and water safety instructor. The job she loYed the most was being a homemaker, as she liYed her life for her family. Violet was preceded in death by her husband of 60 years, Edward I. Hall, and her brothers 5onald and ErYin Music. She is surYiYed by her six children, Martie (Myrtle) /amont (Sam) of Fairbanks, Alaska, Edward Hall (Pat) of /ittleton, &olorado, Timothy Hall of Seattle, Washington, Bruce Hall (Suzie Stacy) of VancouYer, Washington, Dale Hall (Valerie) of /ebanon, Oregon, and Kathleen Dopps (Ken) of Hermiston, Oregon sister-in-/aw /ois Music of Baker &ity, Oregon; 10 grandchildren; 21 great-grandchildren; ¿Ye great-great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and her large extended chosen family.

Born Wayne Francis Hinkle -r. on -uly 12, 16, in Walla Walla, Wash., Mike’s grandmother affectionately coined his nickname when he was a young boy, and it suited him for a lifetime. Mike grew up in Eastern Oregon, the youngest of ¿Ye siblings. He attended elementary school in Athena, Ore., and graduated from Mac Hi in Hinkle Milton-Freewater where he was known for his natural athleticism, faith in God and sincere kindness to all those he knew — traits that would de¿ne the legacy he now leaYes behind. Mike went on to attend Southern Oregon State &ollege on a full-ride pitching scholarship. Off the ¿eld, he loYed to discoYer new challenges. For Mike, it wasn’t enough to simply learn to skate- board — instead he learned to perfect a handstand on his skateboard as he pointed it downhill. During college, he also became inYolYed in the earliest days of hacky sack, and he and his friends often performed demonstra- tions that drew impressiYe crowds as he pulled off original signature moYes. After college, Mike pursued a successful 30+ year career in real estate. He liYed in Wasilla, Alaska, for seYeral years before returning to the North- west where he worked in commercial real estate for Wallace and Wheeler. He later joined Windermere 5eal Estate in BelleYue, Wash., and led seYen regional of¿ces as general manager. He went on to join his two best friends in business, serYing as the Yice president for market deYel- opment for &alifornia-based Wood Associates. In 13, he was intro- duced to -ane DieYeney by her sister -oan and moYed to Bellingham, Wash., where Mike and -ane married in April 1.
