East Oregonian Page 5A OBITUARIES Mary Kelley Sandra Kay ‘Sandy’ Strader Kennewick, Wash. September 1, 2016 McMinnville December 1, 1947-September 21, 2016 Mary Kelley, the pretty wife of Carl Kelley and mother of Francie Peterson, Greg Long (and wife Sharon Boling), and Sharyn Long, closed her eyes on September 1, 2016, and as she put it, went on her “next big adventure.” Mary was born in Idaho in 1927. Then in 1933 she was blessed to be adopted by loving parents George and Elma Koford of Montpelier, Idaho. The family was soon joined by her sister Maxine. Mary wed Rodney Long in 1944. They built a home in Sharon, Idaho, and there Kelley they raised their three children, although Mary rather felt she had ive kids, as she loved her niece Lynda Jensen and nephew Jim Irving like her own. Mary and Rod came to divorce and she then married Carl Kelley of Grass Valley, Oregon, in 1966. They tramped around for many years following his work as a surveyor. They even traveled to Guam. Everywhere they went they had good times and made lots of friends. Eventually they settled in Irrigon, Oregon, but later on as age and failing health was making it dificult to stay on their little spread, they moved to Kennewick, Washington, where Mary lived out the remainder of her life. She was an all-around girl and could milk a cow, rake hay, buck bales, sew clothes, knit and crochet. For 20 years she did the family laundry with a wringer washer and hung it to dry. Then it was sprinkled damp, rolled and stuffed in a bag to be ironed the next day. She did move to an automatic washer but never changed from line drying. Raising her family she did all the baking. The favorite birthday fare was chocolate pie and chicken ‘n’ homemade noodles, with home canned pickled beets. Every fall she illed the store room with quarts and quarts of home canning. Greg was especially fond of her bottled cherries. She continued to home can until she was into her eighties. She was famous for saying “not my problem” and “if it hurts don’t do it.” Her grand- kids dubbed her the Queen of Breakfast (which incidentally was her favorite meal). She was known to refer to them as little pumpkins or turd birds. Mary loved rainy days, the coast and animals. She was many things to many people and we will miss all that she was. Preceding her in death were her parents, sister, and granddaughter Kresta. Following her in life are her husband, children, 10 grand- children, 27 great-grandchil- dren (one on the way), and one great-great-grandson.

Sign the online condolence book at www. burnsmortuary.com Sandra Kay “Sandy” Strader (Neufeld), 68, passed away at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) in Portland due to compli- cations from surgery on September 21, 2016. At her passing, she was surrounded by her family. Sandy was born in Crescent City, California, to Nick and Margaret (Cloake) Neufeld on December 1, 1947, the second of four children. She was raised in Stayton, Ore., Sacramento, Calif., and Salinas, Calif., where her father Nick was a Strader chaplain. In 1961, at 13, she had a lifesaving open heart surgery in San Francisco. She graduated from North Salinas High School in 1966 and looked forward to attending her 50th reunion this year. After graduation, she substitute taught at Boranda School District in Salinas. She later attended Hartnell Junior College. Sandy met and married Daniel Strader on May 7, 1970, and for the next 20 years she traveled the world as a military wife and had two sons. Through her children, she developed a passion for helping those with special needs. At each military posting, she fought for the inclusion of her autistic special needs child at each school he attended. After completing her degree in recreational therapy at California State University, Sacramento in 1990, she moved to Pendleton, Oregon, where she worked for 10 years at Eastern Oregon Training Center (EOTC), a special care facility for the mentally disabled. There she developed several new programs, the most important being a sensory room that calmed clients and reduced aggressive behavior on campus. She later served on the State Training Center Review Board, which advocated for special needs clients taken care of in state-run facilities. After retirement in 2011 she moved to McMinnville, Oregon, to be closer to her growing family. It was the move to McMinnville that gave Sandy the opportunity to meet her partner, Tim Strahl. Her hobbies included listening to music, cooking, reading, road trips and gardening, but she most enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents Nick and Margaret Neufeld. Sandy is survived by her brother Gerald Neufeld (Gail) of Grants Pass, Oregon, and twin sisters Beth Neufeld of Ashland, Oregon, and Gwen Neufeld- Lloyd (Bill) of Fort Jones, California; her two children, Jay Strader of McMinnville, Oregon, and Nathan Strader (Cathy) of Camas, Wash- ington; three grandchildren; and her partner, Tim Strahl of Sherwood, Oregon.
