King of the Upper Midwest.”
He enjoyed many out-
door activities, including
hunting, fishing, biking, ca-
noeing, kayaking, sailing,
cross-country skiing and
traveling. Reading and play-
ing bridge were his favorite
indoor activities.
Those who knew him
loved his easy-going way
with people, his quick smile
and hearty laugh. He was al-
ways up for fun, a challenge,
an adventure — not to forget
a cribbage game.
He is survived by his wife
of 50 years, Eloise (Peters)
Nelson, nieces and nephews,
great-nieces and great-neph-
ews and their families, and
many friends with fond
memories and stories to tell
about this extraordinary guy.
He is sorely missed.
A Celebration of Life cere-
mony will be held in Minne-
apolis on June 14, beginning
at 10 a.m., at the Michael
Servetus Unitarian Society,
6565 Oakley Drive, NE Frid-
ley, Minn., 55432.
MEAD—Penny Rober-
ta Mead, 77, of Florence,
passed away April 28, 2019.
Penny was born May 30,
1942, in Illinois to Robert
and Marie Dvorak. They
moved to Florence, living
near Mercer Lake.
Penny received her bach-
elor’s degree from Califor-
nia State Poly-tech College
San Luis Obispo, Calif. She
enjoyed
sailing
(espe-
cially
t ippi ng
the boat
over),
loved
puzzles,
picnics,
Penny Mead
potlucks
a n d
traveling with the RV club.
She was chosen as RV
activity director, where she
planned programs and skits
and wore silly costumes.
One day when she was out
on Mercer Lake, Penny met
the local school principal
and he was so impressed that
he told her there was a job
waiting for her if she wanted
it. She always said that this
was her first and only teach-
ing interview!
From that day on, Pen-
ny won the hearts of school
staff and children by bring-
ing in boxes of kittens or
bunnies, cooking and read-
ing of other cultures, and
making learning fun.
She also taught line danc-
ing, followed the Trail Blaz-
ers and played bunko with
friends. Penny was full of
laughter and loved and
cooked great food.
Penny married Gary Sau-
bert in November 1965; he
passed away in November
2004 after 41 years of mar-
riage.
On Aug. 28, 2008, Penny
married Loren Mead. He
describes Penny as “per-
fect in every way” as do his
children, Lonnie, Susie and
Alan, along with our fam-
ilies. Penny’s final day was
truly a perfect gift to the
family.
She gave us her smiles,
laughter, and occasional ex-
changes of “I love you’s” and
a parting kiss. Penny left this
world the evening of April
28, following surgery. She
loved life and was loved by
all.

Florence Funeral Home is in
charge of arrangements.
Ballots should have arrived for May 21 election
Additional delays
have begun
along Hwy. 126
Travelers should expect
up to 20-minute delays on
weekdays along Highway
126 between Florence and
Eugene Highway for the
next several weeks as crews
replace bridge railings on a
small bridge to the west of
Fischer Road.
Currently, one lane will
be closed 24 hours a day
during the week. Flaggers
will direct traffic through
the work zone. The road
will be open on weekends.
This is part of the High-
way 126 Paving Project be-
tween Veneta and Eugene
that began last summer.
Travelers may have a sec-
ond stop as 24-hour lane
closures continue at the
passing lane project west
of Walton. 24-hour lane
closures end this Friday,
May 10, at noon; weekday
lane closures will resume
on Monday, May 13.

Center on Ninth Street.
Drop boxes are open and
will remain open until 8 p.m.
on Election Day.
This is the second elec-
tion in which the new se-
crecy sleeve is replacing the
secrecy envelope that used
to come with ballots. The
optional sleeve allows vot-
ers to protect the privacy of
their votes while making the
ballot processing more effi-
cient. It is much faster to re-
move ballots from the secre-
cy sleeve than an envelope
and, ultimately, Lane County
Elections will be able to pro-
cess ballots faster and release
election results more quickly.
Lane County Elections is
located at 275 W. 10th Ave.,
on the corner of 10th and
Lincoln streets in downtown
Eugene.
Public office hours are 9
a.m. to noon, and 1 to 4 p.m.,
Monday through Fri-day. On
Election Day, May 21, the
Lane County Elections Of-
fice will be open from 7 a.m.
to 8 p.m.
