O BITUARIES
Scott Colony
June 11, 1952 — Dec. 17, 2016
Scott Edward Colony was born in Cedar Rapids Iowa, June
11, 1952 to Dorothy and Charles Colony. He grew up in Albany,
Oregon, graduating from West Albany High School in 1970. He
attended both U of O and OSU, graduating with a degree in Busi-
ness Administration. Scott and his fi rst wife, Kathleen, raised three
children: John, Abram and Connie. During these years, he man-
aged the Arrowhead truck stop in Pendleton for 10 years, traveled
in sales, and was the branch manager at U.S. Bank in Corvallis.
Scott moved to Wallowa County in January 2001 after marry-
ing his high school friend, June Davis. He worked at various jobs:
the Joseph mill, fence building, weed control and as a car salesman.
He fi nally found his calling when hired to work for the Cen-
ter for Wellness, fi rst as the administrator for the Wallowa River
House, and a few years later as their “person of all skills” employ-
ee. Plumbing, electrical, roofi ng, fi xing engines, assembling furni-
ture, painting buildings; these were the practical things he excelled
in. However, if a client needed meds, a friend or an ability to cook
their own meals, Scott was ready to help. He was about to start his
fi rst year as a full-time case worker when he went on his last hunt
up Bear Creek on Dec. 17. Hunting was in his DNA. His father
brought him to the Wenaha country to hunt when he was just a boy,
and he could weave in and out of the forests in pursuit of his game
with a natural grace and skill. He said that he had never been “lost”
while hunting, just “misplaced” for a while.
Scott also had a passion for fi rewood. Mostly he liked to be in
the woods, and fi rewood was his other excuse to go out and be in
God’s beautiful creation. He had a knack for fi nding that elusive
dead tamarack in thickets others had missed. He made sure that
June never had to go further than her back porch to get stove wood.
Scott’s greatest asset was his huge capacity to love. It fueled his
unending kindness, his willingness to see beyond any human frail-
ty of mental illness, or inability to function in society. Scott loved
and supported someone exactly where they were.
As the Presbyterian church elder, the sidewalks were always
shoveled, the lawns mowed, bells rang, programs passed the com-
munion shared. All done with quiet attention. As the Master of the
South Fork Grange, he was steady in his leadership and passionate
about his membership in this national organization. He attended the
national conference in 2016, and also participated in State Grange
functions as their Region 6 Legislative Committee representative.
Scott was proceeded in death by his mother, father, and sister;
Cynthia Miles. Survivors include brother Paul Colony, sister Lynn
Huber and wife June Colony.
Memorial services will be held on Saturday, Jan. 28 at the Lib-
erty Grange Hall. Doors open at 10:30 a.m. with the service at
11:00 and a potluck to follow. Lostine Presbyterian pastor Stephen
Kliewer offi ciating. All who knew Scott and June are invited to
come, share stories and celebrate his life. Contributions to Wallowa
County Search and Rescue and the South Fork Grange #605 can be
made in memory of Scott.

anything in life if you are afraid to spread your wings and fl y.”
Memorable dates in Kathy’s life included the births, gradu-
ations and weddings of her children and grandchildren. For her
