Walking On...
Anna Henrietta Hyde
Dec. 13, 1925 – March 26, 2022
For 96 years, Anna Hyde graced Earth
with her cheerful, benevolent hard work,
dedication to her family, considerate
kindness to all, joyous sense of humor and
faithfulness to God. Anna passed away in
her home at Clatsop Retirement Village
on March 26, 2022.
Anna led an exemplary long life, en-
riching all around her. She made deli-
cious meals daily from scratch for her
family and was a full-time homemaker
in addition to some work outside the
home. She supported her husband Harry
whole-heartedly in all his work. Anna filled her daughter’s lives with love,
teaching, fun, loving kindness, good morals and work ethic, and wonderful
memories. Anna is now reaping her considerable rewards in Heaven.
Born Anna Henrietta Hyde to Edwin and Alvina LaChance on Dec. 13,
1925, she was known to her natal family and grandchildren by the nick-
name Tudy and to her nieces and nephews as Aunt Betty – both names
thanks to her older sister Edwina’s influence.
Anna was a proud member of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde
and relished this Native heritage. She attended school at St. Michael’s in
Grand Ronde and Willamina High School. She met Harry A. Hyde in the
shipyards of Portland, Ore., and married him on her birthday in 1947 in
Astoria, where they established the Yellow Cab company along with her
brother Harvey and another partner. Anna was a dispatcher for the cab
company. In her younger days, she worked picking hops in the valley near
Keizer. After her two daughters were well into their school years, Anna
worked as a waitress for the Koffee Kup in Astoria.
A parishioner of St. Mary’s Star of the Sea in Astoria, Anna was a member
of the Altar Society for many years as well as Catholic Daughters of the
Americas. Her life was an example of service to others – always reaching
out to help those that she could, right up until the last of her ability to do
so. She was a consummate coupon clipper and shared the results of her
shopping skills with the church food bank.
Upon retirement, Anna and Harry enjoyed winter months in Mexico
for some years. She enjoyed reading and music of all genres and grew up
singing with her sisters. The sound of her laughter is well-remembered
as is her positive outlook on life. Anna was a marvelous baker and her
pie crust was legendary. One of Anna and Harry’s greatest pleasures was
sharing garden produce and baked goods with friends and family. She was
able to drive right up to her last birthday and was proud to have never
received a ticket or having been in an accident.
Anna Hyde was preceded in death by her husband in their 60th year of
marriage, and all of her brothers and sisters: Harvey, Harry and Thomas
LaChance, Marjorie Scheese, Edwina Hawks and Georgiana Nichols.
She is survived by her daughters, Lynn Hyde (Leska Emerald Adams)
and Kathy McCall (Doug); grandchildren, Melissa McCall, Sarah Finn
(Andy) and Bryce McCall; great-grandchildren, Kylee Orozco (Anthony),
Baylee and Steven McSwain, Andrew and Addyson Finn, and Juniper and
Emmylou McCall; and great-great-grandchild Oliver Orozco, along with
many nieces and nephews.
Many thanks to those at Clatsop Retirement Village who lovingly cared
for Anna over her 16 years there and most especially in the last month
and days of her life.
Services will be held at St. Michael’s Catholic Church in Grand Ronde.
