Rhoda Jean (Jasper) Dawson
June 21, 1923 - January 23, 2022
Rhoda Jean (Jasper) Dawson, 98, of
Joseph, Oregon, passed away on Sunday,
January 23, 2022, at her home. A graveside
service will be held at Joseph Cemetery on
Monday, January 31, 2022,
at 11 a.m. A celebration of
life is tentatively scheduled
to take place on what would
have been her 99th birthday,
June 21, 2022.
Jean was born on June 21,
1923, in La Grande, Oregon,
to Edward Doak Jasper and
Florence Margaret (McDon-
ald) Jasper. She grew up on
the Merrill Jasper Century
Farm in Union County. She
had three siblings. Her father
preceded her in death when
she was 12 years old and her
grandfather Ewen Hugh McDonald moved
in with the family to help raise the children
while her mother went to work as a school
teacher.
She attended the La Grande Presbyteri-
an Church and sang in the church choir as
a teenager. She graduated from La Grande
High School in 1941. When Malcolm
Dawson started college at Eastern Oregon
College (EOC), he joined the college choir
and the choir director suggested that he at-
tend the Presbyterian Church and sing with
their choir. That is where he first saw the
beautiful, dark-haired girl singing soprano.
Jean had the courage to ask Malcolm to the
Sadie Hawkins Dance for their first date.
They both attended EOC until Malcolm
achieved his goal of entering the Army Air
Corps. Before getting his wings, he invited
Jean to come meet him in Arizona. She got
on the bus and they were married on May
15, 1943.
After Malcolm was discharged from
the Army Air Corps, they moved to his
hometown of Joseph, Oregon, and re-
mained there until their deaths. Jean was
a homemaker and helped out with many
jobs on their farm. She bottle-fed many
a calf, changed pipe, drove tractors and
grain trucks, and prepared daily meals for
the family and farm hands. Together they
raised five children. They celebrated their
72nd anniversary prior to Malcolm’s death
in 2015.
Jean was a member of the Joseph Unit-
ed Methodist Church where she played or-
gan and piano, sang in the choir, and taught
Sunday School. She served in leadership
roles and was a member of United Meth-
odist Women, Chapter R PEO, American
Legion Auxiliary, Eastern Star and Wal-
lowa County Cowbells. She
enjoyed playing games and
for years played bridge with
other ladies twice a month.
She always had toys readily
available for visiting chil-
dren in her later years and
was a gracious hostess.
Jean had a peaceful,
accepting, and loving nature.
She had a strong faith in God
and shared her faith through
her actions. She enjoyed mu-
sic and had a great sense of
rhythm. She was fun-lov-
ing and had a quick wit to
the end.
Jean was the last living member of her
generation in her family and was a trea-
sured and well-loved elder. She was pre-
ceded in death by her husband, Malcom
Dawson; parents, Edward and Florence
Jasper; brother Donald Jasper (Elizabeth);
sisters, Edna Jones (John “Bud”) and Mary
Johnson (Wallace); brothers-in-law, Alex-
ander Dawson (Barbara Jean and Louise),
Donald Dawson (Annie), Harry Dawson
(Joyce), George Dawson (Lorraine and
Ruby), Mary Boswell (Gene), Annette Hall
(Lowell & Dwight Riggs), Eleanor Kenne-
dy (Floyd); sons, John Dawson (Katie),
Jim Dawson (Denise); son-in-law George
Garcia; great-granddaughter, Alyssa Daw-
son; and six nieces and nephews.
Jean is survived by daughters, Mary
Garcia, Elizabeth Perry (Robert), and Lisa
Dawson (Scott Schmidt); daughters-in-
law, Denise Dawson and Katie Dawson;
15 grandchildren; 35 great-grandchildren;
and 21 nieces and nephews.
The family is grateful for all of the
caregivers who supported Jean over the
last years of her life so she could remain
at home.
Memorial contributions in her name
can be made to one of her favorite chari-
ties: Joseph UMC, Wallowa Lake Camp,
PEO International Scholarship Fund or her
daughter’s favorite charities: Sabal Palms
Sanctuary, Gideons International or the
Wallowa County Fund at the Oregon Com-
munity Foundation.
