Frederick Aaron Wyatt
March 1, 1941 - June 27, 2022
Frederick Aaron Wyatt was born March
1, 1941, to Elmer Fred Wyatt and Leah
Mary (Isaac) Wyatt. He joined older sister,
Peggy. He grew up in Pilot Rock where
he was active in student
council, band, choir and
sports, especially basketball,
football and track. He was
nicknamed “Golden Toe
Wyatt” for the high school
football team in 1958. The
next spring, he set the school
record for the 120-yard high
hurdles and also placed first
at the state track meet. His
high school record was not
broken until 1970. After
graduating with the class
of 1959, he attended Moler
Barber College in Portland. After receiving
his license, he worked in Portland and
Pendleton before buying his own shop in
Pilot Rock. He cut many a head of hair over
the course of the rest of his life. Also, as a
young man, Fred was active in the JayCees
and the town planning commission. His
hobbies included calf roping in local
rodeos and driving stock cars at the Pilot
Rock racetrack.
Fred married Patricia Irene Kucera on
June 16, 1962. Three children followed:
Jennifer in 1963, Wendy in 1964 and Eric
in 1971. In 1974, the family moved to the
Willamette Valley, first to Harrisburg then
Junction City and Springfield. The final
landing spot was outside of Lebanon. Fred
worked in farming and running custom
sheep for various people and himself.
He instilled a strong work ethic in his
children by example. He also sheared
tens of thousands of sheep over the years,
spending many summers on the southern
coast of Oregon, especially Langlois. A
fond highlight was when he and Patty were
invited to shear on a ranch in Hawaii in
1986.
In 2003, Fred and Patty moved back
to the family ranch after his father’s
death. Fred picked up where he left off,
Milton-Freewater (Linda
Hall, 541-938-5531).

September 14, 1943 - April 15, 2022
Norman Wallace McDonald (Wally)
passed away on Friday, April 15th, 2022, in
Walla Walla, Washington. Family attended
a private burial in the Milton-Freewater
cemetery.
Family and friends will
hold a memorial service
on Sunday, July 31, 2022,
from 2-5 p.m. at the Pioneer
Park Garden Center, 940 E.
Alder St., Walla Walla). We
welcome all who would like
to celebrate Wally’s life and
share memories, songs and
stories as he was fond of
doing.
Wally was born on Sept.
14, 1943, at Walla Walla
General Hospital to Norman
William and Margaret Louise
(Czyhold)
McDonald,
lifelong residents of Walla
Walla.
After graduating from
Walla Walla High School,
Wally went on to attend
community college in the
Tri-Cities and school for
photography in Berkeley,
California.
As a part of his
pioneering mission as a
member of the Baha'i faith,
he lived in Ecuador for two years serving
the community and teaching local people
about health and wellness, business and
farming practices. After returning home,
Wally and his friend, David Hiatt, owned
a motorcycle shop for a time. Later, he
owned and operated Hydraulic Industrial
Supply in Walla Walla. He sold the
company to B. Barer & Sons where he
worked in management to assist in the
transition before moving on to supply parts
to farms with NAPA Hardware.
Wally was a man of many talents, and
pursued career opportunities of interest to
him. For example, he spent a few years
writing and performing radio commercials
for the local radio station and enlisted his
daughters to help him to create humorous
and unique ads.
Wally married Catherine Susan
(Anderson) McDonald in September 1982.
They had two daughters together, Marya
and Anna. Wally and Cathy shared love
for family, music and community. Wally
played many musical instruments including
guitar, clarinet, piano and accordion. For
several years, he enjoyed playing upright
bass as part of a local bluegrass ensemble.
Wally and his wife, Cathy, joined a classical
chorus in Pendleton where he added his
beautiful deep baritone to the choir.
Wally worked to support the local
schools by assisting with fundraising
activities, particularly in
Athena, where he and Cathy
raised their daughters. Wally
was one of the founders of
the local Baha'i community
and was a devout member of
the Baha'i faith.
He found joy in sharing
his interests with others.
Wally was passionate about
his faith, an excellent cook
and loved to talk about his
Scottish heritage. He had a
unique ability to share a fun
tune or interesting story to
brighten the lives of those
around him.
Wally was preceded
in death by his wife,
Catherine, and both of his
parents. He is survived by
his two daughters, Marya
(McDonald) Ouro Gbeleou
and her husband, Tchassanty,
of San Mateo, California,
and Anna McDonald of
San Francisco; and a son
from his first marriage,
Andrew
McDonald
of
Spencer, Indiana. He is also survived by
two stepdaughters, Christine Watson of
Vancouver, Washington, and Deborah
Hunsaker and her husband, Trevor, of
Burbank, Washington. Wally is survived
by four grandchildren from Marya, Ali,
Abbas, Al-Nur and Ashraf; 10 step-
grandchildren, Joshua, Matthew, Jeremy,
Mark, Roxanne, Maggie and Emily from
Christine; and Trevor Jacob, Michael and
Kaylynn from Deborah; and one step-
great-grandchild, Lucas, from Michael and
his wife, Chelsie.
Wally has two surviving cousins, Maria
(McDonald) Grago, of Palm Springs, and
her
husband, Glenn, and Katherine
(Czyhold) Habedank. He is also survived
by David Hiatt, a brother in faith, business
partner in several ventures and lifelong
best friend.
Wally cared deeply about his family,
friends, and contributing to the betterment
of the
world through pure and goodly deeds.
The family requests that any donations
in his honor be sent to the Mona Foundation
(www.monafoundation.org).
