For 15 years they travelled to every state and most Canadian provinces in their motor homes. They purchased second homes in the Phoenix and the Palm Springs area. About 17 years ago, they purchased their dream home in Kla-Ha-Nee, in Florence. Gene especially loved beach walking with her dogs as well as sitting watching the ocean from her home. A consummate hostess, she loved entertaining, throwing huge parties, having friends visit, playing cards and living life to its fullest. Her kindness, wit and love for her friends will be sorely missed. She was very artistic, taught gourd-burning art and made and gave away many great gourd pieces to her friends. The last month of her life was spent in the hospital and in a skilled nursing facility. Her many friends visited on a daily basis and brought her Boston Terrier, Buster Brown, to visit her daily. She had a peaceful, comfort- able passing, first preceded by a harpist, then a few minutes later surrounded by loved ones and medical staff. She is survived by her spouse Beverley; her sister, Eleanor, of Payson, Ariz.; nieces and caregivers Anne, Sue and Wendy; nephew Dennis; as well as many, many good friends and loved ones, especially John and Ronnie, who were always there for her. A memorial event will be held on Heceta Beach in late spring. Donations may be made in her honor to the Florence Area Humane Society. “I thank my God upon every remembrance of you. Always in every prayer of mine, of you all making request for joy.” (Philipians 1:3-4) Burns’s Riverside Chapel Florence Funeral Home is in charge of all arrangements.
