SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12, 2015 OBITUARIES BUTT—Virginia Lee (Chapin) Butt, 94, of Florence, died Dec. 7, 2015, of Alzheimer- related con- ditions. Vi r g i n i a was born and grew up in Peru, Ind. She went Virginia Butt to Franklin College and returned to Peru to hold a number of different jobs, principally as secretary of the First Baptist Church. It was, however, while she was working as the receptionist at a doctor’s office that she met her future husband, Charles William “Bill” Butt. They were married soon thereafter. When their daughter Kate married and moved to California, Bill and Virginia soon followed. When they “finished” their working careers, they traveled throughout the United States in their motorhome looking for a place to retire and frequently ended up in Florence. They fell in love with Florence and bought a home and settled. Virginia had taken up paint- ing and in addition to creating many beautiful pictures, she started a painting class at the Community Baptist Church where she was a member. Her students loved her — and the class. Most local people will, however, remember Virgina (and Bill) as lead ushers at the Florence Events Center, where they usually took tickets. The lines always moved slowly because so many people wanted hugs as Virginia and Bill took their tickets. Virginia is survived by Bill, her husband of 74 years; Kate, their daughter; Lisa Lee and Lorrie Lynn, her grand- daughters; Eric Suarez, her great-grandson; and her brother, Don. Virginia will live forever in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. A memorial service will be held Sunday, Dec. 20, at 3 p.m. at the Community Baptist Church in Florence. Burns’s Riverside Chapel Florence Funeral Home is in charge of all arrangements. VonDrak—Robert Frank VonDrak, 90, of Florence, p a s s e d away Dec. 8, 2015.

Local Operation Christmas Child collects record gifts Thousands of children will soon experience the joy of Christmas, thanks to the Florence community. Residents packed empty shoeboxes with small items like toys, school supplies and hygiene items for Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan’s Purse that sends gifts to children living in dif- ficult situations around the world. Florence volunteers and residents contributed to the Eugene Operation Christmas Child Area Team collection of more than 13,320 shoebox gifts for the project this year, a record over last year’s area collection of 12,428 gifts. For those who missed National Collection Week, you can still get involved. Through the Samaritan’s Purse website, where you can virtually “pack” a shoebox, allowing anyone with a com- puter or mobile device to pro- vide a tangible gift to a child a world away. At samaritanspurse.org/ buildonline, visitors can select a child’s age and gender, shop through an online selection of culturally relevant gifts, and finish by uploading a photo and writing a note of encourage- ment to the child who will receive it. After the shoeboxes are packed and sent by the Operation Christmas Child team, participants can discov- er where in the world their gifts will be delivered. It is a convenient yet mean- ingful way to join in a project that brings hope to children in need. The virtual-packing tool also offers participants the option to challenge friends to participate or the opportunity to share the gift of giving through a shoebox gift card. Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, an international Christian relief and evangel- ism organization. Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has delivered gift-filled shoeboxes to more than 124 million children in more than 150 countries and territories. In 2015, Operation Christmas Child hopes to deliver gifts to another 11 million children.
