SAUTTER—Wallace R. Sautter was born on July 26, 1929. He was given the nickname “Wally” early in life and that name stuck with him. He also had a “chuckle” that he was easily recog- nized by. He was born in a rural setting in Connecti- cut to a close-knit family with several brothers and two sisters. His mother died when he was young. All the fami- ly were involved in helping to raise and nurture him. He has very fond memo- ries of t h o s e days, and loved to share the stories Wallace that were Sautter so special to him. In later years, he could be found journaling the events of his early years to preserve the rich heritage that he felt blessed to be a part of. Wally enlisted in the U.S. Army to serve his country. During those years he spent time in England, Germany and Japan. He always felt that these were important years. He learned much about life and felt that his character was enhanced by his involvement in the military and the disciplines that were a part of that ex- perience. Wally had always had a dream to “go west.” At an early age he embraced the idea of being a real “cow- boy.” He decided to pursue that dream. He moved to southern California and found employment deliv- ering plumbing supplies and spent his working years in that profession. Many hours were spent exploring the desert and the area around Bishop for camping and fishing with his family and his bud- dies — that was as close to “cowboy” as he got! In 1958 he married Mar- tha Grundy — “Marti.” They had celebrated 53 years of marriage when she passed away in 2012. They had two children. Martha passed away in 2010. Wally’s leisure hours were spent reading and doing crossword puzzles. He had a true love and appreciation of music. He enjoyed exploring and al- ways had an ongoing list of things that he wanted to do or places he wanted to see. Wally is survived by his son, Mark, and two grand- sons. He is also survived by many family members and life-long friends. Mar- ti and Wally were a part of the Florence Community Choir and also the Presby- terian Church. Wally passed away on Nov. 6, 2019. His philos- ophy in life can best be summed up in the words to a song on a cassette that was set aside, ready to be listened to by those who will truly miss him. “The Last Farewell,” sung by Roger Whittaker, aptly ex- presses Wally’s feelings of his love of life: “For you are beautiful and I have loved you dearly, more dearly than the spoken word can tell.” Burns’s Riverside Chap- el Florence Funeral Home was in charge of arrange- ments. E DWA R D S — C h e re - anne (Cherie) Leona Ed- wards, 80, passed away peacefully Thursday, Oct. 24, 2019, in Eugene, Ore. Cherie was born Aug. 20, 1939, in Oakland, Ca- lif., to Andrew and Mary Anne Anderson. She was married to Da- vid Ed- wards in 1961 until he passed in 2001. Cherie and Da- vid spent Chereanne m o s t Edwards of their married life in South Da- kota, where both of their children were born. She moved to Florence, Ore., four years ago and in- stantly fell in love with its beauty and community. Cherie was involved in various activities in Florence, including card groups, the Florence Frien- ship Club and the Cham- Screening Presented by: The Siuslaw News THE CARTELS, THE BLACK MARKET AND THE FIGHT TO SAVE A SPECIES ber Ambassadors. She was also a beloved wife, mother and grand- mother. She is survived by her two children: Shelly Me- deiros and Garret Edwards; and five grandchildren. No formal services will be held.
