Online condolences may be shared with the family at www.pioneerchapel.com Former Portland mayor Vera Katz dies at age 84 PORTLAND (AP) — Vera Katz, a Jewish refugee elected to three terms as Portland’s mayor who helped transform it from a sleepy backwater into a trendy city known for its public transit, eco-conscious design and live-work architecture style, died Monday. She was 84. Katz was diag- nosed with acute leukemia this month after undergoing dialysis for more than a dozen years following cancer treatment. U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden called Katz an “indomitable Katz woman” who left a lasting impact on Oregon and its largest city. She also served as first female speaker of the Oregon House. A visionary urban planner with the ability to reach across the aisle, Mayor Katz oversaw plans for the interna- tionally known Pearl District and neighborhoods along the Willamette River that changed the city into a hipster haven and international tourist destination. A champion of the arts, Katz also oversaw construction of Lan Su Yuan, an intricate Suzhou-style Chinese garden in the heart of the city’s old town that draws visitors from around the world. “Vera Katz was more than a pioneer. She was a force. She escaped the Nazis. She battled cancer. She ran the House. She ran the city. She was a natural leader. Vera led and people followed,” said Oregon Senate President Peter Courtney. “Oregon has lost a great human being.” Katz was born Vera Pistrak to Russian exiles in Dussel- dorf, Germany, on Aug. 3, 1933, just as the Nazis were seizing power. When she was an infant, her family escaped to Paris and then, when she was 7, the family crossed the Pyrenees by foot into Spain. She arrived in America on a Greek steamboat and grew up as a poor refugee in New York City. “My mom was the embod- iment of the American dream: coming with nothing and making life better not just for herself but for the countless others she touched,” her son, Jesse Katz, said in a statement. In 1964, Vera Katz moved to Portland with her husband, Mel, and worked as a stay-at- home mother. She didn’t become active in politics until age 34, when she volunteered for Robert F. Kennedy’s 1968 presidential campaign. Within five years, Katz was elected to the state Legis- lature and eventually became the first female speaker of the House, a job she kept for three terms. She went on to serve three terms as Portland’s mayor, from 1993 to 2005 — a crit- ical period for a city that was on the cusp of evolution. In both roles, Katz espoused progressive causes such as gender equality and gay rights long before they were mainstream and cham- pioned education, the arts and labor rights. She sponsored a landmark school reform bill in the state House and helped pass gun control legislation. Katz was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2000 and an aggressive form of uterine cancer in 2004. Treatment for the cancer was successful but left her reliant on dialysis three times a week for 13 years, her family said. Earlier this month, she was diagnosed with acute leukemia and entered hospice. A memorial will be held in January.
