A2 ANNOUNCEMENTS Wallowa County Chieftain Wednesday, June 12, 2019 OBITUARIES Jerry Radke Anthony Lee Frances Marie Perren April 29, 1933–May 13, 2019 June 19, 1946– February 16, 2019 May 1, 1929–May 29, 2019 Jerry V. Raedeke, 86, of Enterprise, Oregon, passed away and went to be with Jesus on Monday, May 13, 2019. He was born April 29, 1933, in Cal- gary, Alberta, Canada, to Wal- ter and Esther Raedeke, the youngest of 4 sons. He mar- ried Jennie Heral on Jan- uary 25, 1983. She preceded him in death on February 7, 2019. Surviving are fi ve children, Elaine (Dan) Meyer of Rockton, IL, Mark (Maria) Raedeke of Rockford, IL, Paul (Mar- ilyn) Raedeke of Ger- mantown, MD, Rhonda Raedeke of Rockton, IL, and Amy (Paul) English of Washington, IL, and eight grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, and three brothers. Jerry attended Concor- dia University, and taught for several years in paro- chial schools before hear- ing God’s call to preach the good news of Christ from the pulpit. He attended Concordia Theo- logic Seminary, and pas- tored at Trinity Lutheran Church in North Morris- town, MN and Christ Our Savior Lutheran Church in Roscoe, IL. Jerry loved the mountains and rural life, which reminded him of his childhood, and came sight unseen to serve as pastor at Grace Lutheran Church in Enterprise. He also served at Lostine Presby- terian Church and Enter- prise Community Chris- tian Church. Jerry had a great love for people, and didn’t know a stranger in the area. He had a gift for connect- ing with people, taking an inter- est in them and sharing God’s love in tangi- ble ways. His easy-going manner helped him con- vey the truths of the Bible so everyone could under- stand them. He was coun- selor and confi dant, walk- ing through diffi cult times with many, as well as cel- ebrating their joys. Jerry was a true ser- vant, and often fi lled the pulpit as interim pastor for many area churches while they were looking for full- time ministers. He pre- formed many weddings and funerals throughout the extended community, often joking, “I’m called the marrying and burying preacher.” His ministry motto was, “accept peo- ple where they are”, and then live Christ in front of them. He did just that, pointing people to Jesus, and His great love and forgiveness. A memorial service will be held on Wednes- day, June 19, at 1 p.m. at Enterprise Community Christian Church.

He was very proud to be part of a few trials that ended up with medicine being made avail- able to the pub- lic to treat CLL. Although his CLL was under con- trol at the time of his death, other health issues became a factor. Tony had many enjoy- ments during his 55 years he spent with Marcy. In the early years it was bowling, bike riding, camping and then there were horses and horse shows with daughter, Jennifer. The love for ani- mals was constant through out his life, he always had a dog at his side. But spending time with his family is what he cherished most of all. Other than his love for Marcy, Tony’s main reason to fi ght CLL was his pure enjoyment of watching his family grow. He loved his grandchildren! He loved to spoil them with gifts, candy, and especially good south- ern cooked food.

Tony was born on June 19, 1946, to Kate (Fitzger- ald) Lee and Rob- ert E. Lee. He was born the middle boy of 5 broth- ers… Wayne, Bruce, Jimmy, and Ralph. The Lee family moved from Tennes- see to California while Tony was in high school. This is when he met the love of his life Marcia Ann (Tiernon) Lee. Tony was 18 and Marcy was 15. They were married 2 years later on Novem- ber 19, 1966. They had 3 children Michelle (Edwin) Craft, Christopher (Ashley) Lee, and Jennifer (Nick) Frolander. In 1979 Tony and Marcy moved their family to Sun- nyside, Wa. At this time Tony began working for Cascade Natural Gas. He worked for over 25 years with this com- pany moving to La Pine, Or for a few years before mov- ing on to Bend, Or. Then he and Marcy headed back to Washington to live in Cle Elum near their daughter, Michelle. After a few years Tony and Marcy followed their daughter, Jennifer, and moved to Enterprise, Or. During this time he con- tinued to work for Cascade holding various positions. He retired early due to an injury on the job and at the same time he was diagnosed with cancer. Tony was diagnosed with Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and given 3 to 5 years. He took this devastating news and met it head on. After a couple of years with doc- tors not giving him much hope, he moved his care to Seattle Cancer Care Alli- ance. At SCCA, Dr. Shus- tov changed the name of his cancer to Chronic Lym- phocytic Leukemia (CLL). Frances Marie Perren passed away peacefully on May 29, 2019, at Wallowa Memorial Hospital, sur- rounded by her loving family. Fran was born Frances Marie Win- ter to William Scott Win- ter and Coena Myrtle Win- ter on May 1, 1929, in Wana- maker, IN. Growing up, Fran enjoyed family get togethers, and in her spare time knitted sweaters and blankets for her family. She loved family, and thor- oughly enjoyed growing up in a family of seven, including three brothers and one sister, Fran being the baby. Fran married Gerald Joseph Perren in 1952, and raised four children, Michael, Michelle, Brian, and Brigette. Since Jerry was a career Air Force offi - cer, they relocated con- stantly to various Air Force bases in many states, including three years in Madrid, Spain. Upon retir- ing from the Air Force in 1975, Jerry and Fran moved to Enterprise, OR, where Jerry was raised. She set up her yard and home with numerous plants and fl owers, so much so that her yard became the “place” for family get togethers, par- ties, graduations and wed- dings. Fran was a member of St Katherine’s Church in Enterprise, and also was a member of VFW Post 4307 Women’s Auxiliary. She is survived by her brother, Albert Winter (Betty), of India- napolis, IN; sis- ter Esther Beach, of Ft. Myers, FL; sons Mike Per- ren and Brian Per- ren of Enterprise, OR; and daugh- ter Brigette Fer- guson (Tim) of LaGrande, OR.

Services will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 15, at St Katherine’s Catholic Church, in Enter- prise OR, to be followed by a graveside service. A reception will follow immediately afterwards in the St Katherine Parish Hall. The family would like to thank the doctors, nurses and staff at Wallowa Memorial Hospital for their compassion, profes- sionalism, and loving care, during Fran’s last week. In lieu of fl owers, the family suggests a memo- rial donation to the Wal- lowa County Health Care District. Bollman Funeral Home is in charge of all funeral arrangements.
