OBITUARIES
D U N N — N o r m a “ J e a n”
Dunn, 89, passed away Dec. 4,
2018.
She died
at Regency
Care Center
of natural
causes.
She had
recently
sustained a
fall at home
Norma Dunn that frac-
tured her
right arm and pelvis.
She and her husband of 61
years, Lloyd, moved to Florence
in 1962. Lloyd was a timber
faller and Jean was a homemak-
er, but they both loved to fish.
Eventually, Lloyd gave up the
timber industry for commer-
cial fishing and from that time
on they worked together. After
having a couple of smaller cab-
in cruisers, they undertook the
task of building their own boat
made of ferro cement.
It was a 38-ft vessel named
the “Sea Star.”
Jean always had some sort
of project in front of her; usu-
ally stitchery. She’s made more
doilies, tablecloths, quilts and
handywork than can be count-
ed. More recently her favorite
thing was jigsaw puzzles, usual-
ly 1,000-piece sets. But she was
always thinking of her flowers,
inside and outside the house.
She had the greenest thumb
in the world.
Jean was the eldest of six
girls. She. along with her par-
ents, Fred and Mary Ellen Ray,
moved to Oregon from Ne-
braska when Jean was six years
old. She was raised in Indepen-
dence, Ore.
She is survived by two of her
sisters: Betty King of Indepen-
dence, Ore., and Alice Parksion
of Turner, Ore.; sister-in-law,
Mary Richards and husband
Max from Monmouth, Ore.
Jean was the mother of three
children: David Dunn of Flor-
ence, Debra (Dunn) Tram-
mel of Lakeside, Ore, and Ken
Dunn of Salem, Ore.
She had four grandchil-
dren: Rick Trammel of Sisters,
Ore., Rod Trammel of Cottage
Grove, Ore., Dave Dunn Jr. of
Waipahu, Hawaii, and Stacey
Galvin of Salem, Ore.
Jean had 10 great-grand-
children: Jessica Mortimer of
Menan, Id., Mackenzie Filmore
of Sisters, Ore., Willie Dunn of
Waipahu, Hawaii, Taylor Tram-
mel of Corvallis, Ore., Violet
Trammel of Salem, Ore., Rev-
el Trammel of Cottage Grove,
Ore., and Aiden, Kaleb, Brice
and Addison Galvin of Salem.
Jean was very proud to be
a great-great-grandmother of
four: Scarlett, Jane, Rulon and
Merritt Mortimer of Menan, Id.
Family meant everything to
Jean and she loved every op-
portunity that presented itself
to come together.
Her funeral service was held
Friday, Dec. 7, at 1 p.m., at
Burns’s Riverside Chapel, 2765
Kingwood St. in Florence, and
was open for the public to at-
tend.
Special thanks to the staff at
Peace Harbor Hospital, Regen-
cy Care Center and Burns’s Riv-
erside Chapel for their genuine
love and care.
Jean will be missed by her
family, neighbors and friends.
She was a wonderful example
to us of how to live a simple,
hard-working life, to take care
of others and the most import-
ant things in life.
She believed in God and
His Son, Jesus Christ. She and
Lloyd used to attend the Four-
square Church in Florence be-
fore his passing in 2007.
Burns’s Riverside Chapel
Florence Funeral Home was in
charge of arrangements.

Craddock, aka “Smilin’ Dave
Piano Man,” 89, passed away
Nov. 12, 2018.

cisco, Calif., on June 6, 1929.
The piano lessons he took at age
7 opened him to his God-given
talent. He was an entertainer
extraordinaire, creating magic
through his fingers, bringing
joy and wonder to those who
heard him in lounges in the
San Francisco Bay Area for well
over 30 years before settling in
Florence in 2001.
David was a part of the en-
tertainment scene up and down
Bay Street in Old Town until
around 2015, as both a soloist
and as part
of the Juke
Box Kings
band.
He
is

his loving
wife of 44
years, Jude
Craddock;
David

“She speaketh not, and yet
there lies a conversation in
her eyes.”
(A quote
from her
high school
yearbook)
“Momo-
my” (pro-
nounced
ma-ma-
my)
was
Elaine Audiss
the name
given to her
by her first grandaughter, born
on her birthday.
Momomy was always very
loving, caring and nurturing
and always thought of others
before herself. She raised her
children to be responsible and
have faith in God; always.
Her legacy is that Jesus has
been by her side all throughout
her life, and she is now home in
Heaven with Him.
We all love you so much, Mo-
momy, and you will be greatly
missed by all you have come in
contact with.
