She was always active in Beta Sigma Phi and played cards with family, friends and other organizations. She was quite a card shark and played cards up to a week before she passed away. She always wanted to win! When she was younger you could find both her and Warren on the dance floor even taking the kids that would eventually be asleep on the chairs while they danced. Those were the days! In 1968 after Mary was out of school and Michael was in the service they sold their home and ventured off to Pendleton, Oregon, where they opened a family shoe store. They eventually had shoe stores in Pendleton, La Grande and The Dalles. In 1982 they closed the Pend- leton store and moved to La Grande where they lived until they retired in 1992 and moved back to Pendleton. Jean kept working part-time in several motels, the Curio Shop and of course selling Avon until Warren became ill and passed away in 2001. She married Eddie Malmin in 2005, who also preceded her in death. Jean is survived by her son, Michael and his wife Vonda of Kalispell, Montana; her daughter, Mary and her husband Billy of Troutdale, Oregon; and five grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren, and three great-great-grandchildren with another one coming in May.

She was preceded in death by her parents and two brothers, James Border Jr. and John W. (Bud) Border.Jean’s fa- vorite pastimes were playing bridge, pinochle and hand and foot. She collected butterflies and her weakness was jewelry. She could accessorize any outfit!
