Lynda Kinney passed
quietly in her home on
Tuesday surrounded by her
family. Lynda was born in
Salem, Oregon, on February
2nd, 1967.
She was raised in Pend-
leton and attended Pendleton
High School. Always the
vagabond,
she
worked in the travel
industry and was
always ready to
take on the next
adventure. Lynda
eventually found
herself
working
for All Alaskan
Seafoods in Alaska
where she met
her husband of 23
years, Edward “Ed” Kinney
Kinney. Lynda and
Ed relocated to
Salem, Oregon, and ran their
own trucking business and
eventually relocated to Pend-
leton to be closer to family.
Lynda became a grand-
mother in 2010 and was
truly overjoyed to be “Nana
Lynn” to her little “Sophie.”
She also enjoyed her many
collections and being a mom
to her “furry” children.
Lynda is survived by her
husband Ed Kinney of Pend-
leton; son Chris McClellan of
Pendleton; parents Bud and
Maxine McClellan of Pend-
leton; sister Michelle Sykes
of Pendleton; brothers Carl
McClellan of Corvallis and
Tim McClellan of Pendleton;
granddaughter
Sophia McClellan
of Pendleton; and
her many nieces,
nephews
and
cousins.
Pendleton
Pioneer
Chapel
is in charge of
arrangements. Any
memorial contribu-
tions may be made
at www.gofundme.
com/lyndakinney.
Donations
may
also be made for the family
to the Lynda Kinney Memo-
rial Fund at Banner Bank in
Pendleton.
The family would like
to ask their community to
watch over one another, and
when they feel something is
not necessarily “right” to call
and express their concerns to
the appropriate authority.
Patricia “Trish” Manley
Moses, 69, passed away May
19, 2016, at home to pancre-
atic cancer after a two-year
battle.
Trish was born on July
19, 1946, in Weiser, Idaho,
to Richard “Dick” and
Geraldine “Jeri” Manley.
Trish was a beloved
wife, mother and
grandmother and
she will be sorely
missed by all. She
gave her husband,
Ron Moses, 26 of
the best years of
their lives together.
Trish graduated
from
Hermiston,
Ore., in 1965. For
the last 26 years she Moses
made her home in
Meridian, Idaho.
Trish worked at Meridian
Ford and Dan Wiebold Ford.
When she retired, she enjoyed
gardening and lowers, espe-
cially zinnias. Her home was
always a showplace.
Trish has always had a
love for nice fast cars and
hot rods. She couldn’t stand
a dirty car, which is a trait
she inherited from her father.
Her latest was a beautiful
’71 Mach One 429 Ram Air;
unfortunately, she only had
the opportunity to drive it two
times around the block due to
the cancer. She really loved
that car.
She is survived by her
husband, Ron; daughters
Natalie (Rick) Van
Cleave, Kimberly
Werner,
Letha
Brown and Travis;
brother
Delwin
Manley; stepsons
Trent, Seth and Kyle
Moses; grandchil-
dren Megan Katie,
Miranda, Brandon,
Jacob,
Tristen,
Austin,
Amanda
and Robert; special
friend
Yolonda
Gerosin, who gave
her strength in the end; and
longtime friends Skip and
Karen Shanafelt.

Northwest

Mary “Jean” Beaton Cruz,
82, passed away at her Sea
Tac home June 10, 2016,
surrounded by her children
and family, after a three-year
courageous battle with Bulbar
Amyotrophic Lateral Scle-
rosis (ALS).
The second of two chil-
dren, Jean was born
August 30, 1933,
to Angus and Eva
Beaton. She grad-
uated from Olean
High School in 1950
and attended Mercy
Nursing School in
Buffalo, N.Y., gradu-
ating in 1953. There
she met a handsome
young intern, Floro
Cruz, and they were Cruz
married in 1954.
That same year,
Floro and Jean moved west
to Butte, Montana, going
back to New York in 1957
before returning to Butte in
1959. Four children later,
they moved to Seattle in 1961
where they had their last
two children, raising all six
children in the Seattle area
until 1973, when they moved
to Pendleton, Oregon. In 1981
they relocated back to the
Seattle area.
Jean was dedicated to her
family and grandchildren.
Memories of “Gramma’s
Camp” will live on for years.
She tirelessly worked on a
book that was published in
2003 about her deaf-blind
son, titled “The Road To
Autonomy.” She lived a life of
helping people and, as a regis-
tered nurse, worked at hospi-
tals in New York, Montana,
Washington and Oregon until
her retirement. Jean took
great satisfaction in being
able to bring communion to
conined and ill parishioners
unable to attend Mass until
her own illness. Some of her
fondest work memories were
at Wesley Homes in
Des Moines, where
she touched many
lives and developed
lifelong friendships.
Jean
was
preceded in death by
her husband Floro,
and is survived by
her children Jeanette
(Joe), Cyndi, Gerry
(Kathy),
Larry
(Gina), Eva and
Eugene. She is
survived by her
sister Donna, 14 grandchil-
dren, nine great-grandchildren
and many loving nieces and
nephews. We will all greatly
miss her.
A rosary prayer service
will be held Thursday, June
23, 2016, at 7:00 p.m. in the
chapel at Bonney-Watson
Memorial in Sea Tac. She will
be laid to rest next to Floro on
Friday the 24th at 12:30 p.m.
A Memorial Mass will be held
on June 25th at 9:00 a.m. at St.
Philomena Catholic Church
in Des Moines, followed by a
reception in the parish hall.
Donations may be made
to the National Association
of the Deaf (NAD), 14150
