OBITUARIES
Barbara Jean Schleede
(Taylor) passed peacefully
from this world on July 3,
2021, surrounded by her
family. A celebration of life
will be at a later date when
it is safer to gather together.
Barbara was born on May
30, 1932, in Snoqualmie,
Washington, to Robert and
Irene Taylor. Their second
daughter, she joined older
sister, Beverly, and was later
joined by siblings, Dale,
Bertie & Merly.
Barbie, as she was known,
spent her early years living
in the Snoqualmie Valley,
roaming the hills around her
family’s home. Barbara loved
that part of the country and
went back regularly for many
years. In 1947 her family
relocated from North Bend,
Washington, to College
Place, where her parents
owned the Malt Shop, a
local hangout for students
at Walla Walla University.
She was raised Seventh-day
Adventist and had a very
personal relationship with
the Lord throughout her life.
She graduated from Auburn
Adventist Academy where
she made many lifelong
friends in 1951.
Back in College Place,
Barbara met Wally Schleede,
a handsome man with wavy
black hair and an infec-
tious sense of humor from
the neighboring town of
Milton-Freewater. He loved
hanging out and “work-
ing” with her at her parent’s
Malt Shop and she quickly
realized he was the genu-
ine thing. On Dec. 28, 1952,
Wally and Barbara were
married in College Place.
They eventually settled in
Pendleton, where they both
remained until they passed.
On Dec. 6, 1954, their fi rst
daughter, Kathryn, was born
followed by daughters, Becki
and Linda, and finally on
what Barbara vowed would
be her last child, a son, Rich-
ard, arrived. A stay-at-home
mom, Barbara was very
involved with her children’s
school and social activities
and their friends who were
always welcomed into her

and they loved their Gram
fiercely. She loved going
for a drive in the mountains
and going to Wallowa Lake
or Emigrant Springs. She
loved going to the ocean
and successfully executed
many family vacations to
Beachside.
She loved jazz and clas-
sical music and had a huge
stack of CDs next to her
sewing machine. She loved
to listen to audio books while
quilting. An avid reader of
both print and audio books,
she was a frequent patron
at the local library. She
loved going camping. She
had an incredible memory
when it came to people. She
didn’t like people to call
her sweetie or honey! She
loved everything royal. She
loved going to GP for lunch
and they knew her order by
heart! She loved the West-
ward Ho! Parade. She loved
OPB. She loved paraglid-
ing at Wallowa Lake. She
loved reading. She loved
the Olympics. She loved fall
time. She loved having the
WHOLE family home for
the holidays. She was the
original Macgyver when it
came to making something
out of nothing. She loved to
have a little stitching project
with her wherever she went.
She loved a good visit with a
dear friend or loved one. She
loved her Lord Jesus. She
loved chocolate the MOST!
But, more than anything,
even more than chocolate,
she loved spending time
with her family and cher-
ished those times the most.
Our family gatherings will
never be the same without
Gram who we will forever
miss.
Barbara was preceded in
death by her husband, Wally;
daughter, Kathi; and siblings,
Beverly and Dale.
Donations in her honor
may be made to the Pendle-
