Susan was born Dec. 3, 1942, in Pendleton, Ore., the daughter of Ralph B. and Margaret I. Hodgen McEwen. She spent most of her Susan Albee youth in Athena, Ore., and gradu- ated from McEwen High School with honors. After high school she attended the University of Oregon, receiving a bachelor’s degree in business administration and teaching certifi cate. Her early years of teaching were spent at Creswell High School. She later was a substitute teacher in the Milton-Free- water School District, taught adult education for Blue Mountain Community College, and at Clerical Training Center/Lillie Rice in Walla Walla. She also was deputy clerk for the Tum A Lum School District for several years. On Sept. 1, 1963, she married William A. “Bill” Albee at the Redeemer Episcopal Church in Pendleton. Their fi rst years of marriage were spent in Eugene, Ore. The couple spent 35 years on Tum A Lum Road in Milton-Freewater where they raised their family and assortment of critters; horse, burro, cow, sheep, goats, dog, cats and chickens. Susan had most years a large bountiful garden which she loved to share with neighbors and friends. She enjoyed hiking, gardening, reading, swimming, mountain trips to pick berries, bird watching and wild fl owers with her many friends. The big- gest thrill for her was her family, following closely the events of grandchildren whether it be school events or their athletics. She was an avid Oregon Ducks fan and followed their athletic events for men and women. The last eight years were spent in Walla Walla. Susan was known for her warm smile, gentleness and accep- tance of all people. She enjoyed volunteering at Milton-Free- water Library, Walla Walla Library, Helpline, Hospice of Walla Walla and Providence St. Mary’s Cancer Center. She was a mem- ber of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Walla Walla and had been a long-time member of St. James Episcopal Church where she often played the organ. She also participated in Audubon Society, Native Flower Association, Kappa Alpha Sorority and was a life member of University Oregon Alumni Association.

(Amy) Albee of Salem, Ore.; sister Gaye McEwen Haverland of Eugene, Ore.; brother Douglas J. McEwen of Pendleton; and grandchildren Satori, Sabrina, Malcolm, Taj, Ella and Crosby. James “Jim” Edward Childers, 86, went home to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on June 28, 2017. Jim was born to Claire Amos and Lucille Clarice Childers on June 19, 1931, in Enterprise. He grew up in Wallowa County through the Great Depression and World War II years. His dad worked for the U.S. Forest Service and his mom at First National Bank of Oregon. He was always surrounded by friends and family. He and his brother ran the projector at the local movie theater. His family remembers the funny stories told about antics performed with his buddies during their high school years. He also had a love for nice cars and enjoyed playing basketball and football and danc- ing to the music of his day. He graduated from Enterprise High School in 1950. Jim served in the U.S. Air Force for a brief time and received an honorable discharge in April 1951. After his military service, he followed his brother Eugene and moved to Klamath Falls, where he began working in the automotive business. His fi rst job was at the Beacon gas station on East Main Street followed by many years at Dugan and Mest Chevrolet, Thomas Dodge and Miller Bros. Jim also worked for several years at Kimball Glass and later in the retail clothing business in Klamath Falls. Jim leaves behind his children, grandchildren, great-grand- children and loving wife, Patricia. He was preceded in death by his father, Claire; mother, Lucille; brother, Eugene; and wife, Marlene (Nana). Jim had many loves in life, but none greater than his love for Jesus. He always made time for ball games, camping, storytell- ing and hugging his grand babies. He enjoyed playing golf. He helped take the gospel to China during a missions trip in 1984. His knowledge of fashion and sharp dressing skills were nota- ble. Very few took better care of their home and gardens than Jim (he passed this on to his children). He had great concern for his neighbors, who also loved and cared for him. He worked hard to provide for his family. He was the biggest fan and supporter of his children and always had words of encouragement and hope. A private family service will be held at a later date.
