2 A SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2, 2017 OBITUARIES ROZAIRE-BROWN—Dr. Beverley Rozaire-Brown, 71, of Florence, passed away Nov. 21, 2017. Beverley was born in Montreal, Canada, on Valentine’s Day 1936, to Mary and Percy (Buck) Brown. She spent her childhood in Montreal and summers at the family Beverley Rozaire-Brown home on Lac St. Joseph in the Laurentian mountains. Her father died when she was 16. She used this as an opportunity to quit high school, which she detested, and started working. A great aunt in Southern California urged her to visit. That visit culminated in her returning to Montreal to apply for a visa. After obtaining a visa, she moved to California, where she worked for the motion picture distribution industry and start- ed college. She obtained an AA degree from Santa Monica City College, eventually receiving a BA from UCLA, San Fernando Valley State and Jacksonville State. She then followed with a MA degree in human relations from Oklahoma University. Finally, she received a PHD in psychology from Oregon State University. This was over a period of 15 years and still without a high school diploma or GED. In 1963, she received a direct commission as a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Army and served 15 years, leaving with the rank of Major. She was the first woman to command an all-male, then male and female training company. Her last assignment was Chief of Organizational Development Training courses at Ft. Benjamin Harrison. After leaving the military, Beverley settled in Florence, working at both Oregon State University and Lane County Community College. She also spent time in Manhattan Beach and Palm Springs, Ca. She had a real passion for adventure, traveling throughout the world. Her last trip was to Victoria Canada for 10 days. She was also active in the Log Cabin Republican Club. Beverley was preceded in death by her loving spouse of many years, Genevieve Newby. Beverley was an Episcopalian who found solace with the church. Most recently, she attended St. Andrews Episcopal Church in Florence.

He was a teacher in his early career and worked for the American Cancer Society. He retired from the Oregon State Hospital as a behavioral thera- pist. Gordon accomplished many different things in his life. He loved being a mountain climber and taking his children on many hikes in Oregon. He loved fishing and so did Misty. He also had a passion for gardening, wood carving, read- ing and life’s adventures. Gordon loved laughing, joking around, and his favorite song was “Welcome to my world!” Gordon would never like to say goodbye to his friends and family; he would say “Happy trails until we meet again” and “Wagons Ho!” We would like to say to our husband, father, brother and grandfather: Happy trails until we meet again! Wagons Ho! Fish On! Say ‘Hi’ to Lucy for us!” A celebration of life service will be held Saturday, Dec. 9, at Burns’s Riverside Chapel at 1 p.m. Following the service, a gathering will be held at Florence Senior Center from 2 to 4 p.m. Burns’s Riverside Chapel is in charge of all arrangements. VADAKIN—Valerie Sue Vadakin, 56, formerly of Florence (primarily of Yachats and Waldport), passed away with her family at her side Nov. 22, 2017. Val was an Oregon Coast native through and through, born in Florence on July 23, 1961. She spent her childhood combing the beach, driv- ing the dunes and hunting and fishing with her dad and Valerie brother. She Vadakin enjoyed trips back to the family farm in Aumsville, where she learned to snap beans and shuck corn with her grandmother, and gained an appreciation for rocks and gems from her grand- father. Val was excellently eccen- tric. She loved night rides for low tides, and hunting for agates by flashlight, preferring the solace of a beach free from tourists, families and dogs. She adored her cats, her gar- den and her family. She had great friends and loved good food and bass-heavy music. Val could be found cruising Highway 101 with her stereo system cranked and windows cracked, shrugging her shoul- ders to the bass thumping from the subs in the back. She was a free spirit with a generous, loving heart. Val lived how she wanted, and only wanted the best. She was known to surprise her friends and family with gifts. If she found something she loved, everyone she loved would have one had one as well. Val will be remembered for her caring nature, quirky sense of humor and her magnificently meticulous ways. Valerie is survived by her significant other Troy Remington; her daughters Carly and Chelsey Remington, and Chelsea Vadakin; her brother, Brian Lewis; and par- ents Jerry Lewis and Janis Hahl. Memorial services will take place after the New Year. Date, time, and location are yet to be determined.
