OBITUARIES JONES—Barbara Jones passed away April 7, 2020, after a long descent into Alzheimer’s dementia. Barbara was born Aug. 5, 1937, in Wuppertal, Germany, the youngest of four s i bl i ng s : brot h e r s Peter and Paul, and her sister, Franzis- ka. T h e two girls Barbara w e r e Jones sheltered with Austrian village fami- lies during the last years of World War II. All in her family sur- vived the war. Later, when her family could rent an apartment, Barbara began learning to play guitar. At age 12, she became the youngest member of a community mandolin orchestra. Her playing and singling were in great demand for home parties with family and friends. Her spirited wanderlust spurred her to study En- glish, acquire a green card, and sail to New York in June 1964. Once on board, she met Richard, a fellow musician. This began a relationship that led to marriage and lasted more than 54 years. During that time, with characteristic energy, de- termination and natural ability, Barbara not only raised a family, kept a pro- ductive garden, became an excellent seamstress and faithfully attended then led exercise classes, she also blossomed into an ac- complished artist. She first mastered toll painting, then oil and watercolor painting. Her flowers, still-lifes, land- scapes and painted Christ- mas balls showed metic- ulous attention to detail and — most importantly — life. With early retirement, Barbara and Richard trav- eled, cruised, camped and explored their way through 24 memorable years. Barbara is survived by her husband, Richard; her sister, Franziska; sons An- thony and Thomas and his wife, Janis, and their daughter, Sy. Family and friends will be invited to a celebration of life at a later date. Burns’s Riverside Chap- el Florence Funeral Home in charge of arrangements. NELSON —Eugene “Gene” B. Nelson, of Flor- ence, passed away March 20, 2020, in the comfort of his own home. Born Nov. 9, 1938 in Portland, Ore., and known Lane County shifts transfer stations to summer hours Lane County’s Glen- wood and Florence transfer stations are experiencing record high customer vol- umes during peak times, resulting in longer than normal wait times and crowded conditions. In an effort to reduce crowds, Lane County is reminding the community that its waste disposal sites have now shifted to sum- mer operating hours. In Florence, the transfer station at 2820 Rhododen- dron Dr. is open Monday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Glenwood site is now open on Sundays and the Marcola, Oakridge, Rattlesnake and Vida trans- fer stations have expanded hours from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Satur- day. People are encouraged to take advantage of these ex- panded hours. The times to avoid, if at all possible, are Saturdays and Mondays, mid-morn- ing through the early after- noon. Avoiding those days and times will help the commu- nity continue to practice physical distancing and keep customers and staff healthy.
