She was 70 years old. A dressing ceremony will be held Monday, October 23, 2017, at 2 p.m. at Burns Mortuary in Pend- leton. Recitation of the rosary will follow at 7 p.m. at St. Andrew’s Mission. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held Tuesday, October 24, 2017, at 10 McGuire a.m., also at St. Andrew’s Mission. Violet was born on May 19, 1947, in Pendleton, Oregon, to Videll Burke. Violet grew up in Pilot Rock, Oregon, with Lorena and Gordon Chapman and family, and graduated from Pilot Rock High School in 1966. In high school she was active in the pep club, FBLA and was a majorette in the high school marching band. After graduation, Violet moved to Boise, Idaho, to attend business school. When she returned to Pend- leton she began her career at the Bureau of Indian Affairs, later transferring to Portland, Oregon, where she met her husband of 42 years, Brian McGuire. Violet gave 30 years of service to the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission as the commission’s recording secretary and human resources specialist from the time of its formation in 1977 until 2007. In this role, she was responsible for compiling and distributing the commission’s agenda and recording its delib- erations and actions. Her meticulous work strength- ened the authority of the Umatilla, Warm Springs, Yakama, and Nez Perce tribes for co-managing treaty-protected resources under federal court orders and agreements among the tribes, states, and the federal government. As part of her human resources work, Violet was part of the inception of the Northwest Native American Human Resources Association, where she served as secre- tary. She will be remem- bered by her colleagues for her attention to the details of the commission’s work, her knowledge of the commission’s history, and her beautiful handwriting, her smile, and her infectious laugh. After retiring from CRITFC in 2007, Violet spent time with her family traveling the United States. Some of her favorite trav- eling memories were visiting the beaches of Oregon and Hawaii; Graceland; Washington, D.C.; and San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge. Most recently, Violet took a road trip with her sister to Waco, Texas, to see her favorite TV stars, Chip and Joanna Gaines. Becoming a grandma was one of Violet’s greatest joys. She loved to shop for her grandchildren and often found the coolest outfits and one-of- a-kind toys. Her grandkids called her an “awesome gramma” and knew she would do anything for them. Violet will be remem- bered by many for her bright smile, kind heart, and keen fashion sense. She loved to laugh and was very festive during any occasion. She always put her family first and enjoyed cooking and bringing family and friends together. Violet is survived by her husband, Brian McGuire; her mom, Videll Bronson (Virgil Bronson); sister Verna Patrick (Marsha, Aaron, Ryan Ashley and their families); brother Richard Bronson (Bryon, Jesse, Kylie, Billy Bronson and their families); sister Lawanda Bronson (TJ and Bobby Parrish and their families); children Gary McLaws, Monika McGuire (Vernon Smartlowit), Kyle McGuire and Kaeleen McGuire; her grandchildren Cole Sazue and Summer Smartlowit; sisters-in-law Mary Anne McGuire Hickey, Rosaleen McGuire Flynn (Nora, Brian, Megan, Theresa Flynn and their families), Monica McGuire; many cousins, nieces, nephews and extended family; and countless dear friends. She was preceded in death by her grandfather Richard Burke, grandmother Elizabeth Woods, brothers Ronald Bronson, Wendell Bronson, Vern Bronson and Bryson Bronson; and her granddaughter Karlee Rain Sazue.

Olson, 89, of Hermiston passed away with her family by her side on Thursday, October 19, 2017. Ruth was born May 8, 1928, in Airlie, Oregon, the second daughter of William and Byrda (Reece) Vogt. She grew up in Salem on a farm and attended a one-room school for eight years. She graduated from Salem High School in the Class of 1946. She married Willard A. Olson in 1946 when he returned home from serving in the Navy after World War II. The couple moved Olson to Portland where they made their home and raised their family. They moved to Hermiston 15 years ago to be closer to their family. Ruth worked as a cook for the David Douglas School District and later for Loaves and Fishes. She also did volunteer work for the senior center. Ruth enjoyed cooking, sewing, planting flowers and working in her yard. She built a three-tiered pond and several ornamental land- scaping features at the age of 80.
