OBITUARIES
BRIEFLY
Doris Jean Amort
Forest E. Kannard
Vancouver, Wash.
September 14, 1926-August 16, 2016
Pendleton
September 7, 1950-August 13, 2016
Doris Jean Amort died
early Tuesday morning,
around 4:00 a.m. on August
16, 2016, while sleeping at
her Sherwood Adult Family
Home in Vancouver, Wash-
ington. Her ten-plus year
battle, dementia followed by
Alzheimer’s, never stopped
her from smiling.
Kindness
was
always rewarded
with a smile.
Doris was born
in Portland, Oregon,
on September 14,
1926, to Amy and
Chester Seafarth.
Doris lost her
daughter
Amy
to brain cancer
(7/14/61-4/16/65). Amort
Her
parents,
brother Norm and
sister Evelyn all preceded her
in death. Blessings are being
made for all the Seafarth
relatives.
She attended Oregon
State University and was
a lifelong Pi Phi. Always a
hard worker, she started her
working career at US Steel
as a secretary. Doris married
John Amort on November 23,
1950. Being a wife, working
mom and a professional
suited her well. “Use it or
lose it. Never stop moving.”
Doris and John moved from
Portland to Eastern Oregon
(Condon, Joseph, Hermiston
and Pendleton). Her work at
Inland Empire Bank, with
Dr. Bittner and with Lemon
CPA provided wonderful
friends.
Doris was also very social
and loved crafts. She planned
large events for preserving
corn, asparagus, jams and
fruits, which were more
about friendship than food.
To relax she tailored her own
clothes and was
an award-winning
knitter. The Church
of the Redeemer,
PEO
and
the
Delphian Society
were her volun-
teering outlets.
Doris is survived
by her husband
John, her son Dan,
daughter-in-law
Jean, and grand-
children Mitchell
and Jillian.
A funeral service will be
held in Pendleton, Oregon,
Saturday August 27, 2016, at
the Episcopal Church of the
Redeemer starting at 10:00
a.m. (reception, snacks and
beverages to follow).
A Celebration of Life will
be held in Portland, Oregon,

handled arrangements.
Mr. Kannard was born
September 7, 1950, in
Pendleton, Oregon, where
he was raised and attended
school. After high school he
was drafted by the Army and
served in the Vietnam War.
He served with A/2/11 Artil-
lery in the 101st Airborne
Division near DMZ in the
Republic of Vietnam.
Once he returned home
he held many different jobs
as he was a true jack of all
trades. In his most recent
years he worked as a residen-
tial contractor.
Forest
knew
everyone and he
deinitely couldn’t
go
anywhere
without stopping
and chatting with
someone. He made
several friendships
over the years that
lasted throughout
his lifetime. He was
such a fun-loving,
always up for a
good time kind of
guy. He enjoyed
every moment he
spent with his two
daughters, whether
it be boating, trav-
eling, going to the mountains
or watching their activities.
At the end of a long day he
enjoyed catching up with
buddies and having a round
or two! Raise your glass to
Forest … for a life well-
lived!
Forest is survived by
his two daughters, Haley
Kannard
and
Ashley
Kannard, both of Pendleton,
his brother Bill Kannard of
Stanield, Oregon, and his
niece and nephews.
He was preceded in death
by his parents Eldon Boylen
and Wes and Jean Kannard.
