Mae Dorothy Schilling Grosh
Robert L. ‘Bob’ Miller
Grants Pass
April 9, 2017
Hermiston
April 18, 2017
Grants Pass resident,
and member of 1939 grad-
uating class of Pendleton
High School, Mae Dorothy
Schilling Grosh peacefully
passed away in the presence
of family on Sunday, April
9, 2017. She died at age 97
from natural causes.
Born in Colfax,
Saskatchewan,
Canada, in 1920,
Dorothy joined her
parents, Jacob and
Carrie Schilling,
and four brothers
and sisters. By
the time she was
three years old, the
family had moved
near
Pendleton,
Oregon,
where Grosh
they purchased an
Albee,
Oregon,
cattle ranch. Her early child-
hood was happy, complete
with
horses,
Camas
meadows, and schoolmates
at the popular Albee school-
house. The Great Depression
of the 1930s, however,
brought severe change, and
the ranch struggled with the
rest of the country.
The family decided
Dorothy should relocate to
Pendleton to attend high
school. In exchange for
room and board she accepted
the position of nanny. This
proved to be one of the
happiest times in her life.
The patriarch of her host
family was the administrator
for Pendleton public schools,
and Dorothy discovered the
ambitious world of profes-
sional educators.
Following her 1939 grad-
uation from Pendleton High
School, Dorothy married
California forestry student
Edward Grosh. She followed
her husband to numerous
U.S. Forest Service districts
in the Pacific Northwest,
and she gave birth to her
two children during these
early years of marriage.
Dorothy arrived in the
Rogue Valley in 1945 when
her husband was assigned to
Rand Ranger Station just a
mile downriver from Galice
Resort. A career in public
education beckoned, and
while her husband accepted
a forester’s position at
Bates Lumber Co., Dorothy
enrolled at Southern Oregon
State College; She earned
her teaching certificate from
Western Oregon College of
Education in Monmouth,
Oregon, in 1951. Another
milestone in her
life,
she
was
awarded her U.S.
citizenship
the
same year.
Dorothy started
her teaching career
as a fourth grade
teacher at the
Grants Pass River-
side School. Her
20-year teaching
career was exclu-
sive to School
District 7, and that
includes 10 years spent at
South Junior High School
where she was teacher,
counselor,
and
library
science instructor. Following
her
husband’s
passing
in 1971, Dorothy retired
from teaching to become
a realtor for Justin George
Realty in Grants Pass. She
accumulated numerous real
properties over the years,
and finally accepted full
retirement to devote greater
attention to her properties.
Dorothy was a very
happy and generous person.
As a teacher, Mrs. Grosh’s
message to every student
was, “Believe education
is the greatest gift of your
lifetime – embrace it now.”
She loved her students and
her fellow teachers. Dorothy
was a devoted a member of
the Grants Pass chapter of
Delta Kappa Gamma, and
she was a former president
of the Grants Pass Retired
Teachers Association.
Dorothy Grosh survived
all of her siblings. She leaves
behind her daughter and
son-in-law, Christine and
Randy Serafini of Grants
Pass; her son and daugh-
ter-in-law, Gary and Peggie
Grosh of Salem, Ore.; and
her beloved grandchildren –
Allison (Cory) Gunterman in
Forest Grove, and Jon (Valle)
Grosh in Washington, D.C.
DEATH NOTICES
Helen Bertha Taylor
Walla Walla
July 21, 1913-April 18, 2017
Helen Bertha Taylor, 103, of Walla Walla died Tuesday,
April 18, 2017, in Walla Walla. She was born July 21, 1913,
in Kooskia, Idaho. Memorial graveside services will be held
Tuesday, April 25 at 11 a.m. at the Dayton (Wash.) Cemetery.
Munselle-Rhodes Funeral Home in Milton-Freewater is in
charge of arrangements.
Robert L (Bob) Miller, 71,
passed peacefully at home on
April 18, 2017, in Hermiston,
Oregon.
Born in Yakima,
Wash., Bob was
adopted by Clarence
and Audrey Miller
of Spokane. Bob
grew up in Spokane,
graduating
from
high school before
enlisting in the
Army where he
was stationed in
Germany and joined
the boxing team.
Returning from his
service, Bob worked
as a draftsman while
completing night
classes to earn his Miller
professional land
surveyor’s title.
Striking out on his own,
Bob’s surveying business
connected him with the Port of
Morrow, where he was hired
on as operations manager
and eventually promoted
to director. Bob went on to
become the executive director
at the Port of Astoria, before
moving to Arizona to assist
with a family business. He
was recently honored for his
accomplishments in the port
industry.
In 2008, Bob returned to
Eastern Oregon to be closer
to family. Some years later,
with a change to the adoption
record laws, Bob was able to
find his birth family — which
included four sisters and
over 20 nieces and nephews.
Unfortunately, his discovery
came after the passing of his
birth parents, Bill and Marion
McCardell of Goldendale,
Wash.
Bob is survived by his wife
Patricia, daughters
Tami, Laura, Holly
and Jody, stepsons
Troy and Darin,
grandchildren Ali,
Adam,
Audra,
Amanda,
Cody,
Jacob, Noah, Austin,
Robin and Jesse, and
great-granddaugh-
ters Rhi and Evie.
Bob is also
survived by his
brother,
Richard,
and sisters Cindy,
Donnie and Debbie.
He is preceded
in death by his
parents, Clarence
and Audrey Miller,
and sisters Twyla and Patsy.
A lifelong motorcycling
enthusiast, Bob’s life and
love of the road, along with
his military service, will be
celebrated on Saturday, April
22 at 4 p.m. at First Christian
Church, 775 W. Highland
Ave., Hermiston, Ore. A brief
graveside service will be held
on Saturday, April 22, 2017
at 1:00 p.m. at the River-
view Cemetery, Boardman,
Oregon.
In lieu of flowers, memo-
rials can be made to Cove
Christian Camp of Cove,
Oregon.

condolence book at burns-

Burns Mortuary of Herm-
iston, Oregon, is in care of
arrangements.
