Charlotte Roselyn (Brown) Shike ~ 1936 - 2016
On July 21st, 2016,
Charlotte
Roselyn
(Brown) Shike, beloved
mother, grandmother,
great-grandmother and
sister passed on peace-
fully in the comfort of
her home in War m
Springs.
Charlotte was born on
May 4, 1936, to Tom
and Sadie Schoolie
Brown in Celilo. She was
raised on Schoolie Flats
in Simnasho with her
three sisters and three
brothers. She had just cel-
ebrated her 80th birth-
day on May 4th.
Charlotte married
Raymond Shike on Sep-
tember 10, 1956. They
were married in a double
wedding ceremony with
her sister Eliza and
Chester VanPelt. They
were the first to be mar-
ried in the new tribal
courthouse.
Raymond and Char-
lotte lived their entire
married life in Warm
Springs.
Raymond’s first job in
Warm Springs was at
Kah-Nee-Ta. Later they
were both employed by
the Warm Springs Police
Department, Charlotte
as a dispatcher and
Raymond as a police of-
ficer. When her hus-
band was promoted to
Police Captain, Charlotte
was forced to resign.
Together they raised
seven children and later
provided a loving home
for her grandchildren.
Charlotte served sev-
eral terms on the Warm
Springs Education Com-
mittee, and traveled all
over the country as a
committee member.
Education was of
huge importance to
Charlotte, and she in-
stilled this value into her
children and grandchil-
dren. Charlotte was espe-
cially proud that all six
of her children and 11
of her 12 grandchildren
graduated high school
(the last grandchild is
scheduled to graduate in
2018). Her oldest great
grandchild will start high
school this fall.
Sports and education went
hand-in-hand for Charlotte.
She was an avid sports mom
and grandma.
As her kids and grandkids
attended Madras High
School, she was a regular at
MHS Buffalo baseball and
basketball games every sea-
son since her first child
played 45 years ago. When
able, she attended all games,
both home and away.
During the summers
Charlotte travelled the west-
ern U.S. to support her chil-
dren and grandchildren as
they played in softball tour-
naments.
She loved the Pendleton
Round Up, an event she at-
tended annually for four gen-
erations, first with her par-
ents then with her children,
and later supported her
grandson and great grandson
as they danced in the specials
and in the rodeo arena.
Last but not least, Char-
lotte was a prominent figure
in the Indian bowling circuit,
originally as a champion
bowler, and more recently in
support of her children and
grandchildren who have fol-
lowed their path in competi-
tive bowling.
Charlotte had a gentle, lov-
ing and giving nature. She
was the anchor of support
for her family and did it
gracefully. She was always
happy to see everyone and
always had a loving smile and
gentle handshake for those
who she encountered.
Charlotte showed love
and kept the family close.
She was supportive of her
children and grandchildren
by preparing lunch at her
home every work day for the
last 40+ years. Her giving
nature was exhibited by her
hundreds of donations to
raffles, funerals and other
community functions.
As an artist herself, she
was an avid supporter of lo-
cal beadwork artists and in-
spired her own daughters
and granddaughters to be-
come artists themselves.
Charlotte was a member
of the Ladies Auxiliary and
all events and functions con-
cerning veterans, as her
brothers and husband were
veterans.
She was a member of the
Seven Drum/Washut, the
Shaker Church, and partici-
pated in medicine singing.
She and her sister Neda pre-
pared many delicious, tradi-
tional longhouse meals in
their earlier years.
Charlotte will be remem-
bered as a loving, support-
ive mother, forever loyal to
her family. Although fragile
in appearance, she will be
remembered by her grand-
children and great grandchil-
dren as a strong, inspira-
tional and loving grand-
mother who had an excel-
lent sense of humor.
She will be remembered
by her other family mem-
bers and friends as a gentle
and giving lady with a great
heart, and will be remem-
bered by her friends as a
thoughtful, giving and sup-
portive friend. She will also
be remembered by her com-
munity as a civil servant,
non-judgmental elder and
community member.
Charlotte is preceded in
death by her husband of 33
years Raymond Shike Sr.,
sons Lawrence Shike Sr. and
Albert Shike, parents Tom
and Sadie Brown, sister
Gloria, and brothers
Lawrence, Curtis and Jasper
Brown.
She is survived by her
two sisters, Eliza Brown-Jim
and Neda Wesley and
brother Lamont Brown. She
is also survived by five chil-
dren Helena Shike, Mina
Shike and Alfredo Estimo,
Raymond Shike Jr., Sandra
and Owen Danzuka, and
Lana and Andy Leonard.
She is survived by 12
grandchildren, Sharon
Jones, Reina Estimo,
Raymond Jones, Alfred
Estimo Jr., Owen Danzuka
Jr. Rodney “Patch” Adams,
Dino Jones, Albert Adams,
Lawrence Shike Jr.,
Tamiesha Brown, Lana
Shike, and William Shike,
along with nine great
grandchildren: Anona
Francis, Amare Jones,
Aurelius Jones, Raya
Shike, Cassidy Shike,
Damon
Danzuka,
Reimiyun
Suppah,
Norene Shike and
Anilese Danzuka, the
newest member of the
family, born one week
after Charlotte’s death.
Charlotte was especially
proud of her grandchil-
dren and great grandchil-
dren.

ciously provided the tra-
ditional foods for the last
meal. Kimiko Mitchell
and her family made sure
the guests were nour-
ished during these ser-
vices. Overnight and
open denomination ser-
vices were held and she
was buried Monday, July
25 at the Simnasho Cem-
etery next to her hus-
band.
Her eight grandsons
served as her pall bear-
ers, and honorary pall
bearers were extended
family and people in the
sports, education and
tribal world whose lives
she touched with her
gentle soul. The family
is grateful for the sup-
port received and for
everyone who has been
there for her during her
last days. She will be
missed.
