Violet Rose (Burke)
McGuire, 70, a resident of

surrounded by her family,
at her home in Fairview,
Oregon. She was 70 years
old.
A dressing ceremony will

October 23, 2017,

Mortuary in Pend-
leton. Recitation
of the rosary will

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

Anne
McGuire
Hickey, Rosaleen McGuire
Flynn (Nora, Brian, Megan,
Theresa Flynn and their
families), Monica McGuire;

friends.
She was preceded in
death by her grandfather

Bryson Bronson; and her
granddaughter Karlee Rain
Sazue.
