Ruth Anne Bowman
Everett Charles ‘Pete’ Barlow
Milton-Freewater
September 14, 1942 — January 11, 2021
Milton-Freewater
January 17, 1945 — December 21, 2020
Ruth A. Bowman, 78, passed away at her
longtime home in Milton-Freewater, Oregon,
on Jan 11, 2021.
Ruth was born on September 14, 1942, in
Weiser, Idaho, to Frank G. Bowman and Helen
M. (Jean) Marlow Bowman, the second of four
siblings. She grew up in Baker County near
Richland, Oregon, helping her family on the
ranch where she learned extensive homemak-
ing skills; gardening, preserving, sewing and
crocheting.
In 1958, Ruth married Herbert P. Anderson.
They lived in Baker City, Oregon, where they
had three children together: Barbara Davis,
Debra (Rod) MacLean and Douglas Anderson.
They later divorced in 1970.
Ruth moved with her children first to La
Grande and then to Pendleton where she
attended college at Blue Mountain CC and
studied accounting courses. She began work-
ing at Harvest Chevrolet, where she met the
love of her life, Everett Barlow, and his three
children: David (Rebecca) Barlow, Julia
Armstrong (Sean Moore) and Tamara (Robert)
Pahl. Everett shared her love of the mountains;
fishing, mushroom picking and looking for
wild animals at every opportunity.
Ruth and Everett moved to Milton-Free-
water in 1987 when Ruth assumed the posi-
tion of office manager at Dayl Graves in Walla
Walla, Washington. She became well known
for her smile and excellent customer service.
She retired from Dayl Graves in 2013.
Ruth was a lifelong learner, determined in
her efforts to acquire new skills and pursue
creative interests. She became an accomplished
painter. Later Ruth learned to machine knit and
even operated a small business, Ruth’s Knits,
where she provided lessons and other services
to the machine knitting community.
Ruth was an extraordinary mother, grand-
mother, sibling and friend. Ruth’s home and
property were the gathering place where you
were well fed and stories told. Her strength of
character, resilience, generous spirit, kindness
and loving guidance will continue to inspire
her family now and for generations to come.
A life well lived in every aspect. She will be
sorely missed by all that knew and loved her.
Ruth is survived by her six children and
their significant others, including 11 grandchil-
dren: Robyn, Kyle, Conner, Cameron, Travis,
Tori, Blythe, Trever, Sara, Paisley and Katie; 12
great-grandchildren; and a great-great-grand-
child on the way. Ruth was preceded in death
by her long-time love, Everett; her parents;
brother Garry; son Doug; and grandson Colin. ‘
A memorial will be held at a later date when
family can gather safely and celebrate her life
very well lived.
Those wishing to make a memorial dona-
tion in Ruth’s name can make it to St. Mary’s
Cancer Center through Herring Groseclose
Funeral Home, 315 W. Alder St., Walla Walla,
WA 99362.
Everett C. Barlow
(Pete) passed away on
December 21, 2020, at
Providence St. Mary
Medical Center.
He was born January 17, 1945, in Heppner,
Oregon, to his parents Everett and Alberta
(Hoffman) Barlow. He spent his childhood
years working harvest for his uncles and the
Peterson ranches in Heppner. After graduat-
ing from Pendleton High School in 1963 he
was drafted by the U.S. Army, working in the
motor pool section in South Korea. He was
honorably discharged in 1972.
After returning to Pendleton, in 1968,
he married Linda Mansker. They had three
children together: David (Rebecca) Barlow,
Julia Armstrong (Sean Moore) and Tamara
(Robert) Pahl. Linda and Everett later
divorced.
Everett worked for 18 years at Pendleton
Grain Growers. After leaving PGG, Ever-
ett went to work at Harvest Chevrolet as an
outside parts salesman, where he met the love
of his life, Ruth Bowman, and her three chil-
dren Barb Davis, Debbie (Rod) MacLean and
Doug Anderson from a prior marriage. Ruth
and Everett moved to Milton-Freewater in
1987 and spent the remainder of their 35 years
together fishing, hunting and just being in the
mountains. Everett worked as a sales manager
at Platt Electric for many years, traveling to
regional stores for delivery.
Everett later became an active member
of the Walla Walla Gun Club, Fort Walla
Walla Muzzleloaders Club and the East End
Rod and Gun Club, helping out wherever he
could. Everett especially enjoyed teaching
hunting and gun safety for the youth and
women programs. He loved going to the trap
shoots with his good buddies. He passed on
many hunting tips and stories to his children
and grandchildren that will live on through
the many generations to come. In his retire-
ment he enjoyed doing dealer trades for Dayl
Graves, Inc.
He especially enjoyed his six children,
their significant others; 11 grandchildren:
Trever, Sara, Paisley, Katie, Robyn, Kyle,
Cameron, Blythe, Travis, Tori and Conner;
and 12 great-grandchildren. He is also
survived by his sister Mary (Allen) Earlley,
and stepsister Cindy (Harley) Wheeler. Ever-
ett was preceded in death by his infant sister,
father and mother.
Everett was a very loving mate, father and
grandfather, loved by all that knew him, and
he will be greatly missed.
A memorial will be held at a later date.
Those wishing to make a memorial dona-
tion in his name can make it to the American
Heart Association or the Walla Walla Gun
Club through Herring Groseclose Funeral
Home, 315 W. Alder St., Walla Walla, WA
