A2 Announcements wallowa.com September 13, 2017 Wallowa County Chieftain O BITUARIES William L. (Bill) Bailey Aug. 10, 1916 –– Sept. 2, 2017 William Bailey died peacefully Sept. 2, 2017, at Angeline Senior Living in La Grade, surrounded by his family. He had recently celebrated his 101st birthday Aug. 10 eating choco- late cake and enjoying his family. Bill was born Aug. 10, 1916, in John Day, Ore., to Harry and Mayme (Yokom) Bailey. He grew up on a ranch near Mt. Vernon, Ore. He had a sister, Lola, of John Day, with whom he had a close relationship. He married Cecil Mae (Cec) McKern in Lewiston, Idaho, in 1939. They moved to Golden, Idaho where he worked in a railroad shop. When World War II began, he thought he would be called up, so he wanted to move Cec closer to home. They moved to Hines, Ore., where he worked in a sawmill. Next they moved to Seneca, Ore., and he and brother-in- law Ernie Coots hauled logs for Hines Lumber Co. Later, Ernie started a logging company, and Bill went to work for him hauling logs around Roseburg and Lakeview. Around 1947, Bill, Cec, Ernie, Dorothy and Lana Coots moved to Joseph where Bill continued to log for Ernie. Around 1953 Ernie bought a ranch at Imnaha. When he passed away in 1965, Bill ran the ranch for Dorothy until it was sold in 1996. Bill and Cec lost two sons at birth, but their niece, Lana, was like their own child. They were married 62 years when Cec passed away in 2001. Bill was a member of the Elks and Masonic lodges, a Shri- ner and member of Oregon Cattlemen’s Association. He was honored as cattleman of the year in 1973. He also loved to hunt and fi sh and probably got more than his limit on most occasions. He liked vacationing, picnicking and mushrooming with his family. He loved gardening and had a wonderful raspberry patch and grew cherries. Bill is survived by his niece, Lana (J.R.) of enterprise; another niece, Connie (Bruce) of Albany, Ore.; a nephew Jeff (Kelly) of Albany; great nieces, Andrea (Tony) and Amy of Enterprise; Great nieces and nephews, Julie, Dennis and Kevin of California and numerous others. Bill was preceded in death by his parents; his wife, sister Lola and nephew Merlyn Black. Services will be held 11 a.m. Sept. 19 at Joseph Methodist Church. A luncheon will follow at the church. Bollman Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements. About Obituaries News obituaries are a free service of the Wallowa County Chieftain.

Richard Barr May 21, 1941 –– Aug. 31, 2017 Richard Barr died peacefully in Pete Moore Hospice House Aug. 31, 2017, in Eugene. He was 76. Rich is survived by his wife, Berdiene (Springfi eld, Ore.); children, Chris (Port- land) and Andy (Canby, Ore.); grandchildren, Scar- lett and Arden (Portland); and siblings, Ruth Ann Marx (La Grande) and Don- ald Barr (Enterprise). Rich was born on May 21, 1941, in Fullerton, Calif., to Clark David Barr and Lula Belle Barr. He grew up in Union County Barr and graduated from Union High School in 1959. He then attended Eastern Oregon Col- lege, and pursued his love of sports, playing football for the Mountaineers. While in college, he married Wallowa native Berdiene Landis in 1963. In 1964, Rich graduated from with a bach- elor’s degree in education and later received his master’s degree from the University of Oregon. After moving to Springfi eld in 1964, Rich (known to most of his colleagues as “Dick”) began working for Springfi eld Public Schools as an elementary teacher at Douglas Gardens Elementary School. Five years later, he transitioned to admin- istration, fi rst working at Thurston Middle School as an assis- tant principal. Continuing in his profession, he then became an elemen- tary school principal, serving several schools in the Spring- fi eld School District. Rich retired in 1995 after 31 years as an educator. He absolutely loved his career, and it was a continu- ing source of pride and satisfaction throughout the course of his life. Rich and Berdiene had two sons and raised them in Spring- fi eld. His children knew him as a caring father who tirelessly supported their interests and cultivated in them a respect for others and an appreciation for hard work. “Be kind, and good, and do your best,” were the words he often used to encourage them before they set out for the day. He rarely missed attending any of their performances or sports contests and delighted in their achievements. In 2003, Rich and Berdiene moved back to Eastern Ore- gon, living in Enterprise for 12 years. A decline in health eventually prompted a move back to Springfi eld in 2015. Rich was passionate about the outdoors and shared his love of camping, backpacking, canoing, and traveling with his family and friends. He kept a deeply spiritual connection with nature and often expressed his recognition of the Divine in the wild places he held dear. No service is scheduled.
