Orvalla LaVelle Hafer
Nov. 22, 1936 –– Oct. 9, 2017
Orvalla LaVelle Hafer, 80, of Othello, Wash., passed away
Oct. 9, 2017, in Spokane.
She was born in Wallowa
on Nov. 22, 1936. Orvalla grew
up in Promise, Ore., until the
family moved to Portland when
she was in the eighth grade.
She completed her education in
Portland, graduating from Roo-
sevelt High School in 1954.
Orvalla married Raymond
Eugene Hafer on April 21,
1956.
Once the Bureau of Rec- Orvalla Hafer
lamation established water in
eastern Washington, Raymond and Orvalla moved to the Colum-
bia Basin and began to cultivate 80 acres as their fi rst farming
commerce.
In 1963, they sold this land and moved up the road 15 miles
and began the business of farming their newly purchased 320
acres, the foundation to the family owned multi- specialty Hafer
Farms of today. Raymond and Orvalla lovingly raised four chil-
dren together and enjoyed 28 precious years of marriage until
Raymond’s passing in 1984.
She devoted more than 20 years gathering stories, photo-
graphs and memorabilia of the lives and land of her childhood
home in Promise. These were the mainstay in creating nearly
40 calendars of history, eventually becoming published as “100
Years; The North Woods of Wallowa County,” Volumes 1 and 2.
She was an active member of the Othello Baptist Church, vol-
unteered for the Sandhill Crane Festival and was a member of the
Cattlewomen’s Association.
Through her years, Orvalla participated with the Adams
County Fair, serving in many roles including fair board mem-
ber, swine superintendent, Othello Junior Livestock Association
member, 4-H Leader and memorial garden founder.
In 1995, she was a founding member of the Columbia Basin
Junior Livestock Show.
As involved as Orvalla was in service to others in her greater
community, her foremost passion in life was for her family. She is
survived by her children: Nathan (Jamie) Hafer of Pasco, Wash.,
Justin (Debra) Hafer of Othello, Randy (Diana) Hafer of Othello
and Holly (Robert) Kenner of Moses Lake, Wash., and her sister,
Myrna (Robert) Journot of Wallowa.
She also leaves behind 11 grandchildren and 16 great-grand-
children to cherish her loving memory. She was preceded in
death by her husband, Raymond Hafer, her parents, Orval and
Myra Carper, and her brother, Merlin Carper.
Services were held Oct. 20 at the Othello Church of the
Nazarene.
Memorial contributions are suggested in Orvalla’s name to
the Othello First Baptist Church for youth camp sponsorship. For
