18 S moke S ignals NOVEMBER 1, 2016 Community has changed dramatically over the years Walking On... Clementine F. Reed April, 29, 1925 – Oct. 13, 2016 Tribal Elder Clementine “Clem” Reed, 91, passed away peacefully on Oct. 13, 2016, sur- rounded by her loving family. Clem was born on April 29, 1925, the only child to parents David and Bertha LaChance in Grand Ronde, Ore. The family later moved to McMinnville where Clem attended St. James Catholic School and McMinn- ville High School. Clem met and married the love of her life, Tony Reed, in McMinnville, where they raised their three children, Dick, Deanna and Janet. Clem’s life career was making a home for her husband and family. She was a loving mother and grandmother. Clem spent much of her adult years caring for her parents until their deaths. She enjoyed traveling with her family, going on cruises, dining in different restaurants, going to Spirit Mountain Casino, watching “Days of Our Lives” since it first aired and NASCAR races. One of the many highlights of Clem’s life was attending NASCAR races in Las Vegas. Clem brought much joy to her family and was loved so much in return. Clem was preceded in death by her husband, Tony; her parents, David and Bertha LaChance; and her son, Gerald “Dick” Reed. She is survived by her daughters Deanna (Bob) Johnston and Janet (John) Giddings; her daughter-in-law, Mary Reed; and the most wonderful 14 grandchildren, 30 great-grandchildren and 15 great-great-grand- children. Viewing was held Wednesday, Oct. 19, at Macy and Son Funeral Home in McMinnville. Funeral services were held Thursday, Oct. 20, at St. James Catholic Church in McMinnville and interment occurred at St. James Catholic Church immediately followed by refreshments at St. James Fellowship Hall.

I feel very fortunate to be a part of this.” Tribal General Manager Dave Fullerton said Tribal employees should reflect on what the celebra- tion means to the community. “In relation to the services we pro- vide, none of these services would be available without Restoration,” says Fullerton, who has worked for the Tribe for 16 years. “A lot of the justification for Restoration was to provide to the membership health, education and social services. “I think it is important for the employees and the members to think of the fact that every day we have 400 plus employees providing services directly to the member- ship. That wouldn’t have happened without Restoration. We wouldn’t have health care and social ser- vices. Those that were here before Restoration would attest to the impact of those services that they have seen over the years.” Leno says that the community has changed dramatically over the years. “Basically we had a name and a cemetery. Nothing more than that,” says Leno. “Everything on top of that people should be very thankful for.” The 33rd Restoration Celebration begins with a Canoe Family perfor- mance and program starting at 10 a.m. followed by a meal in the Trib- al gymnasium at noon. There will be a break at 2 p.m. and a powwow beginning at 3 p.m. RSVP to Public Affairs at 503- 879-1418 or send an e-mail to publicaffairs@grandronde.org so that organizers can obtain an ap- proximate count of the number of attendees.
