OBITUARIES
PHELPS—Betty Louise Van
Riper Phelps, of Florence,
beloved wife
of
Delbert
P h e l p s ,
passed away
June
16,
2016, in her
home with
her husband,
Del, at her
Betty Phelps side.
Betty was
born in Tillamook, Ore., and
spent her early years there. She
then lived in the greater Portland
area until 1991, when she moved
with her sister and husband to
Florentine Estates.
Her careers included model-
ing, pay master for Pierce Freight
Lines, owner of Betty’s Little
Acre, a nursery in N.E. Portland,
and lastly owner of Ace Fence.
After moving to Florence, she
volunteered at the gift shop at
Peace Harbor Medical Center and
drove the LaPaLoma.
Betty loved flowers and gar-
dening. She could look at any
plant and tell you its name.
She loved traveling and was
escorted through most of the
western states by her husband,
Del, after they were married on
Nov. 15, 1998.
Betty is survived by her loving
husband, Delbert Phelps; her sis-
ter, Nita Koford of Eugene; her
sister, June Hooker, and husband
Norm, of Waldport; her sons:
Bruce Temple and his wife Sue,
of Long Beach, Wash., David
Van Riper of Portland, Gerry Van
Riper, who preceded Betty in
death, and the mother of his chil-
dren, Colette Moore, and their
grandchildren; and Jim Van Riper
and his wife Sam, of Eagle
Creek; and many grandchildren,
great-grandchildren and cousins.
Betty is also survived by her
husband Del’s children: Clifford
Phelps and his wife Debbi, Cathy
Dietz and husband Frank, Lisa
Thomas, and grandchildren and
great-grandchildren.
Betty will be greatly missed
for her love of life and her fight
for it, and her love for all those
around her.
She was interred at Pacific
Sunset Cemetery on the hill over-
looking the Siuslaw River Bridge
and the dunes.
There will be a celebration of
life gathering for love and
remembrance of Betty on
Sunday, July 24, at the Florentine
Estates Club House’s Florentine
Room, from 2 to 4 p.m., for fam-
ily and friends.
At her request, donations in
her memory can be made to the
Siuslaw Pioneer Museum. These
can be left at the celebration or
with Burns’s Riverside Chapel
Florence Funeral Home.
ELY—Dean Edward Ely, 82,
of Florence, passed away peace-
fully, July 5,
2016, in the
company of
his
loving
family.
Dean was
born April 9,
1934,
in
Montpelier,
Ind., to Mary
Dean Ely
and
Leslie
Ely, where he grew up on the
family farm.
Despite his worldly travels in
the service and his success in
business later in life, his appetite
at the dinner table would always
reveal his good ol’ farmboy her-
itage. He had two brothers, Donn
and Dick; and in 1954 began dat-
ing the next “D” of the family,
Deloris Kleinknight of Bluffton,
Ind. The two later married on
June 5, 1955.
Dean
attended
Purdue
University and then joined the
U.S. Air Force in October 1955.
He served for four years, with 18
months of that time spent over-
seas in Japan. After his active
duty, he then served an additional
two years in the reserves, receiv-
ing an honorable discharge with
the title of Airman First Class.
In 1957, Dean and Deloris
introduced the first of two more
“Ds” to the Ely family when their
daughter Diana was born. Their
son, Doug, followed her in 1960.
The Ely family moved from
Indiana to Texas, back to Indiana,
then to New Jersey and
California, then back to Texas
before moving back out west to
California and finally settling in
Oregon — probably the whole
way with Dean trying to cop a
feel of Mrs. Ely and being scold-
ed with “Dean, quit!”
In 1984, Dean’s first and only
grandchild was born; breaking
the mold of the family of “Ds,”
Diana named her daughter
Amber. It was love at first sight
for Dean, and following the
phrase “Grandpa, I need dresses,”
Dean produced a new dress from
every business trip from then on
out.
It was Dean’s jobs that moved
them around the country:
COURTS
Franklin Electric, South Bend
Lathe, Philco Ford, Fritz Co., his
own company, Worldwide
Transportation Consultants, and
finally The Park Motel in
Florence.
The Elys always made them-
selves a part of the locality
through community and church
involvement. By doing so, Dean
enjoyed many deep relationships
that turned into life-long friends.
Dean was passionate about
sharing his love for God with
anyone he met, and was never
shy about giving glory to God for
the many blessings in his life.
“But blessed is the man who
trusts in the Lord, whose confi-
dence is in him. He will be like a
tree planted by the water that
sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green. It has
no worries in a year of drought
and never fails to bear fruit.”
(Jeremiah 17:7-8)
Dean was preceded in death by
his parents and brother, Donn.
He is survived by his wife
Deloris; his brother Dick; his
daughter Diana; his son Doug;
and his granddaughter Amber.
For all of those that knew him
and loved him, it was we who
were blessed.
Services will be held
Wednesday, July 13, at 3 p.m., at
Florence Christian Church, 990
Second Street in Florence.
Donations in Dean’s name can
be made to Florence Christian
Church
Prime
Timers
Scholarship Fund or Hospice of
Florence.
