Mary was born on
December 1, 1921, to Clyde
and Wave (Crabtree) Jackson
in Monument, Oregon. She
died peacefully August 9,
2016, in Sherwood, Oregon.
She lived up Cupper
Creek on a small ranch with
her parents and siblings
Thelma,
Wilbur,
Billy, Jake and
Hugh. She attended
high school in
Portland, Oregon,
at Poly Technical
School. She met
Harold Wright in
1940, and they
were married in
October 1941.
They made their
home on Rhea Wright
Creek in Ruggs,
Oregon. They lived
there for the next 50 years,
raising sheep, cattle and
llamas, and then purchased
the ¿rst herd of buffalo in
the state of Oregon. She was
a wonderful homemaker,
and was an excellent cook
and seamstress. She raised
a wonderful garden and
enjoyed working in her yard.
Mary was a member of the
grange for over 60 years.
Their son Kenneth Carl
Wright was born Sept 1,
1946. He brought them many
happy memories through his
school years and ranch years.
He was active in sports, 4-H,
and FFA. He joined them at
the ranch and helped manage
a small store on the property,
the ranch and the ranch
trucking company. The ranch
was sold in 1996 and Mary
helped care for her husband
Harold until his death in
1999.
Mary moved to Newberg,
Oregon, in 2001 to be closer
to Hugh Jackson and family.
It was a good move for her
and she had many new
adventures and made many
new friends. Most important,
Mary enjoyed the role of
grandmother to Hugh and
June’s four children: Clyde,
Candye, Craig and Cindy.
They played a critical role in
her life and she loved them
all very much. In 2011, Mary
moved to assisted living
in Sherwood so she could
receive a little extra support.
She was very proud that of
her sharp mind and
ability to stay fairly
independence most
of her 94 years of
her life.
Mary is survived
by her son Kenneth
Wright and his
partner
Fonda;
her brother Hugh
Jackson and his
wife Paula; Clyde
Jackson;
Craig
and Amy Jackson;
Cindy
Jackson
and John Phelan; Candye
and Wade Parkin; grand-
children Kim Williamson,
Nance Keeney and Brent
Wright; great-grandchildren;
and many great nieces
and nephews. Mary was
preceded in death by her
mother and father, sister
Thelma Maley, brothers
Wilbur Flower, Billy Flower
and Jake Flower; husband
Harold Wright; and sister-
in-law June Jackson.
A special thanks to the
staff at the Springs at Sher-
wood, Providence Home

compassionate
care and support the last six

Re-vamped festival rocks Milton-Freewater
By TAMMY MALGESINI
East Oregonian
A familiar festival with
a brand new name kicks off
this weekend in Milton-Free-
water.
Organizers were looking to
highlight “The Rocks” district
of the town, the American
Viticultural Area designation
and the free live rock and
country music that plays on
the main stage throughout the
weekend. They came up with
Milton-Freewater Rocks!
“The fact that we have a
whole new name is exciting,”
said
Jennifer
Zerba,
Milton-Freewater Chamber
of Commerce interim execu-
tive director. “And with that,
a new direction.”
For the past 35 years, the
festival has been referred
to as the Muddy Frogwater
Country Classic Festival.
Some local teens had been
calling the town Muddy
Frogwater since the early
1970s. The town had a Pea
Festival during the 1960s and
later a summer Corn Roast,
which was re-titled when
it expanded to the week-
end-long Muddy Frogwater
Festival.
Milton-Freewater Rocks!
kicks off Friday morning
and runs through Sunday
afternoon at Yantis Park. New
activities during the event
include a quilt show and Sip
& Paint for festival-goers
who are 21 and older. Local
educator Jennifer Hegdal will
provide instruction.
“You can do an art piece
while sipping wine,” Zerba
said.
There will be plenty of food
available during the weekend,
including the Ambassador’s
Breakfast (Friday, 7-9 a.m.),
the Rotary Pulled Pork
Dinner (Friday, 5-6:30 p.m.),
the Elks’ Annual Breakfast
It’s not like her.
Mom has always been so patient, but now
when I ask her questions she gets angry.
We can help.
