Her graceful spirit departed for heaven’s gates on October 13, 2017. Born to parents Andy Millar and Catherine McWhirter, Eileen spent her childhood on a farm outside Milton-Freewater. After graduating from McLoughlin Union High School, she attended busi- ness school and worked in Portland, Oregon. She then returned to the Wondra valley, and shortly thereafter, enlisted her support to the U.S. Armed Forces during World War II as a civil servant at the Pendleton Air Base. It was this that led to her meeting her future husband, William “Bill” Wondra, Sr. Eileen and Wondra Bill were married October 13, 1942, in Boise, Idaho. They returned to Milton-Freewater and, on a farm less than one mile from her childhood home, brought up their three children, William “Bill” Wondra Jr., Robert “Bob” Wondra and Larry Wondra. While keeping busy raising three boys, Eileen also worked for the local Allen’s Ice Cream Shop, packing houses and canneries, as well as J.C. Penney. Her main job, however, was assisting with anything needed to maintain and operate her and her husband’s nearly 50-acre apple orchard and homestead. Her garden was her prized possession; spending time in it was one of her most enjoyed hobbies. She was proud to have started her rosebushes, and many planted in her children’s gardens, from her own clip- pings. An excellent cook, Eileen could often be found preparing meals and baking for her family and friends. Her Thursday afternoons were always reserved for lunch and treasured pinochle games with “the girls.” She devoted time and energy to being a member of the Pleasant View Mother’s Club earlier in life and the Senior Center Board later. A meticulous seamstress and quilter, Eileen also excelled at and enjoyed knitting and crocheting. Her talents were always shared with family, friends, and members of her church. Refinishing furniture found at local garage and estate sales was also one of her cherished pastimes. A devout Catholic, Eileen had an unwavering faith in God. She was a longtime member of the St. Francis of Assisi Church. Over the years, she became very involved with the church commu- nity and assisted with numerous events. She loved to share her devotion with those close in her life. Eileen was predeceased by her loving husband, Bill. Also preceding her in death were her parents, Andy and Katie Millar, as well as three sisters, three brothers, and one grandson. She is survived by her children, son Bill Jr., son Bob and wife Ruth, and son Larry married to wife Linda. Her legacy is also carried on through numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren, as well as nieces and nephews. The staff at Heritage Villa lovingly assisted with her care the last few years of her life. The family gives them and everyone else who cared for and loved Eileen throughout her life their greatest gratitude. She was a charming and humorous woman who will surely be missed by all who were fortunate enough to have known her.
