Jody Ann (Valentine) Leasy,
age 64, went to heaven March
12, 2017, after a long struggle
with congestive heart failure and
diabetes. She was surrounded
by many loved ones at the time
of her passing. Burns Mortuary
of Pendleton is in charge of
arrangements. Sign the online
condolence at www.
burnsmortuary.com.
Jody was born on
July 24, 1952, in Baker
to Gilbert S. Valentine
and Mary (Hudspeth)
Thompson. She had
attended school in
Dayville and gradu-
ated high school in
Baker.
She and her late
husband Bruce Leasy Leasy
lived in Baker many
years and then moved to Pend-
leton. Jody worked as a waitress
and bartender. She also worked
on a mining claim for her Uncle
Roy and Pat Valentine. She was
a hairdresser for residents at St.
Elizabeth Nursing Home until
moving to Pendleton to manage
a mobile home park with her
husband Bruce until his passing.
Jody enjoyed going to
rodeos and playing on softball
and bowling teams. She loved
going camping with her brother
Terry and his wife Kathy Valen-
tine. She and her mother went
on several road trips to Reno
on the Eagles bus to do a bit
of gambling. No jackpots won
that we know of but had a lot
of fun, win or lose. Jody had a
great sense of humor. She loved
a good joke, preferably the dirty
ones.
Jody was so blessed to have
a loving family. She often
talked and told stories about
her cousins and her siblings
and all the crazy things they did
while growing up together. She
always told us she was surprised
she and her siblings made it
as far as they did. They would
jump off tall stacks of hay in
the barn and make it without
breaking something. She was
shot in the big toe
with a BB gun by her
brother and locked in
the chicken coop with
a skunk by her sister.
Services for Jody
will be on Saturday,
March 18, 2017, at 1
p.m. at the Christian
Church, 675 Highway
7, Baker City, Oregon.
There will be a
potluck immediately
following. All are
welcome to join. Feel free to
bring a favorite dish.
Jody is survived by her
mother Mary (Hudspeth)
Thompson; brother Terry
Valentine and wife Kathy;
sisters Pam Wiley and husband
Lynn, and Cindy Mecham
and husband Mark; her
children Kimberly (Baldwin)
Landers and husband Troy,
Joseph Baldwin and wife
Angie, and Marcia (Baldwin)
Holm; grandchildren Taylor
Cummings, Kendra Landers,
Jason Holm, Skyler Baldwin,
Austin and Alex Baldwin,
Dominic Piccolo and Darien
Rilatos-Santangelo; and many
cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces
and nephews.
Jody is preceded in death
by her husband Bruce, father
Gilbert,
stepfather
Sam
Thompson, brother Sammy
Valentine and grandson Cody
Landers.
