2A | SATURDAY, JULY 27, 2019 | SIUSLAW NEWS On The Record OBITUARIES CALDWELL —Elsie M. Miles Caldwell, 88, of Florence, passed peaceful- ly into the arms of Jesus on July 14, 2019, in Coos Bay. Elsie was born April 2, 1931, in Eugene and has lived in the Flor- ence area for most of her life. S h e loved her church and the Elsie S i u s l aw Caldwell Pioneer Muse- um, for which she was very active. She also loved the Friday Night Hymn Sing, making quilts, writing and truly loved her family history. She touched many lives, whether it was through working in real estate for the past 32 years (the last 13 with TR Hunter), through her many activi- ties or her famous pies that people enjoyed. Elsie will be truly missed. Survivors include her husband, Seth Caldwell; and her children: Michael Libby, Twila Steiner and Barbara Johnson. She was preceded in death by her daughter Julia. She is also survived by many grandchildren, great-grandchildren and many other relatives and close friends. A memorial celebration of Elsie’s life will be held on Saturday, Aug. 3, at the Florence First Baptist Church at 1 p.m. Burns’s Riverside Chap- el Florence Funeral Home was in charge of arrange- ments. MILBRETT—Nora Mil- brett, 97, peacefully went to be with the Lord and her husband, w i t h l o v e d ones by her side, on Fri- day, July 19, 2019. Nora Nora was born Milbrett in Kill- d e e r , N.D., on Sept. 17, 1921, to Grethe M. Paul and Ware- ham L. Paul. After losing her mother at age 15, Nora helped her father care for the farm and her three siblings. Af- ter graduating from high school, Nora and the fami- ly moved to a farm north of Willmar, Minn. This is where she met the boy next door and love of her life, Marvin Milbrett. They were married in Bel- grade in 1941, then moved to Lake Lillian, Minn., where Marvin worked for the Hansen Silo Co. A year later, Nora and Marvin moved to the Bel- grade and New London area in Minnesota, where they farmed. In 1958, they sold out and came by rail- road to Oregon. It was quite a trip with 11 chil- dren at the time. They settled and raised their family near Swiss- home, Ore. Nora worked as a stay-at-home mom while Marvin worked in the lum- ber industry until his re- tirement in 1983. Five years after the death of her husband, Nora moved to Eugene to be closer to family in 1993. She became a member of the Bethesda Lurthean Church and was surround- ed by the church family she loved dearly. Nora was an amazing woman; loving, caring, giv- ing, humble and strong. She was proud to have her 13 children gradu- ate from Mapleton High School. She made us proud of the career title of “home- maker.” She was the queen of recycle and reuse before it was the norm. She was a great bread maker and a talented seam- stress, making her own patterns and sewing all her kids clothes from wedding dresses to swim suits. She was our fashionista. The colors in her outfits had to match, from the beads she loved to wear to the shoes on her feet. Her passion was knitting and she created exquisite life-time treasures for her family and friends. If it could be knitted, she made it with love. She made baby blankets, sweaters, Af- ghans, dish clothes, Christ- mas stockings and was always donating hats for cancer patients and pree- mie babies. Nora is proceeded in death by her husband, Marvin; her son, Michael Milbrett; and daughters Sandra Harris and Marcel- la Wilbur. She is survived by her sons: Larry (Linda) Mil- brett, Brian Milbrett, Ger- ald (Cheryl) Milbrett, Ron (Leslie) Milbrett and daughters, LoAnn (Dar- rell) Hinderlie, Elsie (War- ren) Parham, LaVonne Rivera, Bonnie Burgin, Wendy (George) Midbust, and Loretta (Kelly) Rich- ardson; 30 grandchildren, 35 great-grandchildren, and 4 great-great-grand children. We would like to extend a special thank you to the caring staff at Green Val- ley Rehabilitation Health Center. A celebration of her life will be held Saturday, Aug. 3, beginning at 3 p.m., at Bethesda Lutheran Church. In lieu of flowers, please donate in remembrance of Nora to Bethesda Lutheran Church.
