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.

RESTORATION continued
from page 13
restored. And I think there are a
lot of people who can say the same
thing. 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.
