A2 Announcements O BITUARIES wallowa.com May 9, 2018 Wallowa County Chieftain Doris Marie Barton March 24, 1934 –– April 28, 2018 Jeanie King May 10, 1950 –– April 27, 2018 David Turner Jan. 18, 1940 –– May 3, 2018 Doris was born to Floyd and Iola Grilley in Northome, Minn. She peacefully and quietly passed away at her home in Wallowa. Doris had a great sense of humor with a ready smile for all. She loved to read fiction and nonfiction her entire life. What she loved most was her family. She impressed her hus- band Orlin (of 43 years) with the way she enjoyed cooking, gardening and canning. Doris was preceded in death by her parents, a son, Michael K. Jones; and a daughter, Barbara Ann Karpack. She is survived by her son, Gerry Barton, of Lewiston, Idaho; her daughter, Valerie (Arthur) Catlin of Portland; and her son Steve (Melissa) Jones of Wallowa. Doris is also survived by her brother Lynn Grilley of Sunnyvale, Calif. She is also survived by six grandchildren and eight great grandchildren. Funeral serves were at Bollman Funeral Home in Enter- prise, and a graveside service followed at the Wallowa Cem- etery May 5. Jeanie King was born Rae Jean Henshaw in Albany, Ore., to Billy and Babe Hen- shaw. She grew up with sis- ters Julie and Joey. Jeanie was very accom- plished, having a well-known knack for doing things her own way and on her own terms from a young age. At 18, she was crowned Albany Tim- ber Carnival Queen. Without the knowledge of her parents, she successfully changed her name from Rae Jean to Jeanie. After the birth of her son, Grady, Jeanie chose a career in law enforcement and was hired by Multnomah County as a correc- tions officer in 1978. From that day on she never looked back. Jeanie broke through multiple barriers in the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office. At the time, it was the standard that female officers would only care for female inmates. Known as “a gutsy person who happens to be a lady,” Jeanie became the first female officer to supervise male inmates. Over- coming a vote attempting to keep Jeanie out of the men’s jail, she worked her way up and was promoted to sergeant in 1981. Jeanie was assigned to the Rocky Butte Jail where she loved the work and her ability to supervise (especially those who tried to keep her on the women’s side). In 1989, Jeanie was promoted to lieutenant, made captain in 1995, com- mander in 1997 and chief deputy in 1999. Jeanie was also an instructor at the Oregon Police Acad- emy, worked with the U.S. Marshall’s Office and was an active member on multiple correctional boards throughout the country. Jeanie retired from Multnomah County in 2001 at the age of 50 and moved to Joseph with her husband Jerry. Jeanie spent her retired life waking up to the beauti- ful views of Wallowa Lake and the Wallowa mountains and entertaining beloved friends and family at her and Jerry’s Wal- lowa Lake home. Though retired, her law enforcement blood still flowed. Jeanie assisted and advised the Wallowa County Sheriff’s Office during the construction of their new holding facility. Jeanie is survived by her husband of 29 years, Jerry King; her children, Grady Nelson (Suzanne) and Bret King; sisters, Julie Silver and Joey Doran; grandchildren, Eli Nelson, Karlee Chur- chill, Jordan Lemons, Nigel Benshoof and great grandchildren, Mya and McKinley Churchill and Dutch and Jack Benshoof. A celebration of life will be held this summer in Albany, Ore. Jeanie was deeply loved and highly respected by her family and friends. She will be sadly missed.

So we know we always have to be the best we can be.” Davy cited community support as another reason for the high quality of care. “We’re lucky, because we have this incredibly gener- ous community behind us,” said Davy, noting the recent fundraising efforts of the Circle 100 Club and Men’s Guild 100 that helped raise $18,800 and $7,900, respec- tively. “When there is a need, the community steps up, and it allows us to invest in state- of-the-art technology.” Wallowa Memorial was one of only two Oregon hos- pitals to make the list. The only other was Grande Ronde Hospital in La Grande. Weather Forecast Ellen Morris Bishop Nature’s Light Photographics LLC Puzzle 213 White to move and win 541-398-1810 103 N.
