Peter Harry Wells
April 19, 1943 - December 31, 2021
Peter Harry Wells, 78, of Pendleton
passed peacefully at home on December
31, 2021. He was born April 19, 1943 in
Waltham, Massachusetts to Betsy (Bas-
sett) and Winthrop Wells.
Pete was the oldest of three
brothers (Mike and Steve)
and moved to Portland
when he was 5 where he lat-
er married his wife ElRae in
1969. They would be mar-
ried for just over 52 years.
Together they had a son
(Ray) and daughter (Mary
Sara) before moving to
Pendleton in 1977, just after
Pete finished law school at
the University of Oregon.
They initially agreed try
our Pendleton for a year, fell in love with
the community, and have remained ever
since. Along the way, they continued to
grow their family as additional parents to
Toni and Andrea, parents-in-law to Nina,
and grandparents to Westley, Britainey,
Jaedyn, Kielynn, and Aliyah.
When Pete was born, due to his hemo-
philia, he had a life expectancy of 21. He
not only surpassed that expectation but so
many others in the process of becoming
a pillar of the Pendleton community. He
moved to Pendleton to start his law career
and continued a number of positions
throughout his career leading to serving
as the City Attorney of Pendleton for 14
years followed by a short term as munici-
pal court judge.
After retirement, Pete enjoyed traveling
with his wife, bicycling with Pendleton on
Wheels, providing legal advice to non-
profits, cheering for the Oregon Ducks,
and being a grandfather.
Pete was awarded the honor of First
A5
Citizen in 1998 due to his volunteer com-
mitments which continued long after this
award. Among the many places he donat-
ed his time are Pendleton Swim Associa-
tion, Pendleton Downtown
Development Commission,
Kiwanis, Boy Scouts of
America, St. Anthony’s Hos-
pital, St. Mary’s Outreach,
SMART in Pendleton for
which he was awarded the
volunteer of the year for the
State of Oregon in 2016, To-
nya’s House, Domestic Vio-
lence Services in Pendleton,
Relay for Life, Pendleton
Round-up, PFLAG, Pend-
leton Presbyterian Church,
Eastern Oregon Presbytery,
High School Band Parents Committee,
Buck Boosters, ASPIRE, and served as
Santa for numerous local organizations
once his beard turned white.
Jimmy Stewart was once asked how he
wanted to be remembered and stated “as
someone who believed in hard work and
love of country, love of family, and love of
community”. This and love of God sum up
who Pete was.
Pete was preceded in death by both
his parents, his mother-in-law, one of his
brothers, and numerous friends. He is
survived by his wife, brother, children,
and grandchildren who all miss him
dearly.
A memorial service will be schedule
for this Spring and information will be
forthcoming.
In lieu of flowers, please make contri-
butions to the Hemophilia Foundation
of Oregon, SMART Reading, Vange John
Memorial Hospice, Pendleton PFLAG, or
the Pendleton Foundation Trust.
Craig Martin Anderson
October 12, 1954 - December 30, 2021
Beloved father and husband Craig An-
derson (67) passed away at his ranch in the
loving arms of his wife on December 30th,
2021 after a two-year battle with stom-
ach cancer. He had a deep
faith in God and the value
of modern science. Both
enabled him to live 2 years
after his original diagnosis.
Born in 1954 and raised
in Pendleton Oregon, Craig
grew up living a simple life
in a ‘Leave It to Beaver’ type
neighborhood. His father
was a veterinarian. Their
family owned a 40-acre cat-
tle ranch & feedlot, which is
where Craig learned to ride
horses and raise cattle. He
has an older brother, Rod, and a younger
sister, Lori. Their family was a close one
and Craig’s siblings were very important
to him.
At Pendleton High School, he was a
three-sport athlete competing on the foot-
ball, wrestling, and baseball teams. He also
played the saxophone and was Vice Presi-
dent of his senior class when he graduated
in 1973.
Craig studied at Washington State Uni-
versity where he was a Social Chairman/
Vice President of Kappa Sigma Fraternity.
He graduated with a Bachelor of Science
in Animal Science in 1978. During his
time at WSU, he was invited to compete on
the football team and played during spring
training camp. He was then invited to join
the team for the fall season but instead de-
cided to work to put himself through the
remainder of his education. He enjoyed
early employment as he learned many dif-
ferent skills; operation of farm machinery,
wheat & pea storage, logging, processing
sawmill lumber, restaurant service, buck-
ing & storing hay, and building a railroad
across the United States.
After graduating from WSU, Craig was
hired as a Herd Supervisor for Deseret
Industries overseeing 1500 head of cow/
calves, managing every facet of the oper-
ation in Plymouth, WA.
In 1979, he moved to Denver, CO, and
married Kathy Ryan. He was hired by
Franklin Laboratory Company and became
the youngest Regional Sales Manager in
charge of salespeople servicing California
and Nevada. In 1984, he moved to Boise,
Idaho where his son, KC, was born. After 2
years, his wife Kathy developed a terminal
illness and passed away.
In 1984, he was hired at Merck Animal
Health Pharmaceuticals where he spent the
remainder of his 37-year career. He was a
successful Executive Sales Representative,
Feedlot Specialist, and Regional Manager
for the west coast. He earned
awards for highest achieve-
ment among his peers 10
times ranging from Execu-
tive Sales Representative of
the Year (Top Gun), to Re-
gional Manager of the year.
In 1989, Craig married
Robyn (Brown) Smith who
had a young son, Luke, and
daughter, Shelby who for-
ever became his children
alongside his own son, KC.
Now newly married and a
family of 5, they moved to
Coeur d’Alene Idaho where they owned a
home and ranch, raising APHA & AQHA
horses. Craig also always kept his own
cow-calf operation throughout the North-
west.
More than anything, Craig was com-
mitted to his family where His leadership
led them to achieve their highest potential.
The family traveled together extensively
within the United States and overseas to
numerous continents using every mode of
transportation. He and Robyn had the time
of their lives while they crossed off every-
thing they had added to their ‘no regrets’
bucket list.
Craig was preceded in death by his first
wife Kathy Ryan (Hermiston, OR); father
Dr. Lee Anderson and mother Natalie An-
derson (Pendleton, OR). He is survived by
wife Robyn Anderson (Coeur d’ Alene);
sons KC (Deidi) Anderson (Denver,CO)
& Luke (Lavenda) Smith (Portland, OR);
daughter Shelby (Scott) Randklev (Coeur
d’ Alene); Grandchildren Ella, Elsie, Can-
non, Crew, Lewellyn, Everly, and a baby
boy due in April; brother Rod (Jill Milton)
Anderson (Pendleton, OR), and sister Lori
(Del) Johnson (Redmond, OR); nieces
Kelsey (Roger) Nonella (Redmond, OR);
Ty (Trevor) Newman (Redmond, OR );
and grandnieces Riley and Regan Nonella.
