City’s issuer rating
receives upgrade
Last week, Moody’s Investors
Service announced it had up-
graded the city’s issuer rating
and outstanding Certificates of
Participation, 2013A (LOCAP)
from Baa1 to A2. The certifi-
cates were issued through the
Local Oregon Capital Assets
Program and are outstanding
in the amount of $13.2 million.
Debts rated at a Baa1 are
judged to be medium-grade
and subject to moderate credit
risk and may possess specula-
tive characteristics.
An A2 rating is considered to
be an upper-medium grade and
subject to low credit risk. The
new rating could mean a bond
sale for the city could generate
more participation by investors
in the future, along financing
packages with a lower interest
rates or better terms.
Moody’s stated the rationale
for the upgrade as, “... reflective
of the city’s consistently sound
financial position given conser-
vative financial management
and a low debt burden.”

Barbara (Geer) Funk
1941- 2018
1941- 2018 Barbara (Geer) Funk died July 16, 2018.
Her memorial will be held at Asbury United Methodist
Church, 1090 Berntzen Rd., in Eugene, OR on August 4.
2018 at 11:00 AM.
Barbara Ellen Geer was born November 4, 1941
at McFarland Maternity Home in Cottage Grove, Ore-
gon, to Roy A. and Marie (Gilham) Geer. Ten days later,
they took her home to the new house they had cleared
the land for and built themselves, moving in Oct. 4, one
month before she arrived.
Another month had barely passed when the coun-
try was drawn into WWII. Th ose years were hard on the
grownups, but the little home on the hill overlooking
Cottage Grove Lake was fi lled with much love and ev-
erything a little girl needed. All winter the wood stove
snored along cozily as she sat in her little rocking chair
many an evening listening to her mom play the violin
and Dad his guitar.
When good weather came, she played with her dog & cat, followed old deer trails, picked
wildfl owers or played with the sandbox & swing her dad had made her. She loved learning, at
home & then at Latham Grade School. She almost always got to put on coat-hanger wings & a tin-
sel-wrapped halo to be an angel in the Christmas program at school or at Hebron Grange.
Barbara was still at Latham when she and a girlfriend saw the “cute blonde boy from London,”
though she didn’t see him again until Cottage Grove High School. Th ey danced their way through
contests and his Prom, and he asked her to marry him when he returned from Nat. Guard training.
She kept busy with school work, the Sr. Class Play, and as “Lion Tracks” annual editor until he came
home from CA. Th ey were married May 2, 1959 at the Methodist Church in Cottage Grove, OR
with her mom on her violin and his Grandma Blackmore at the organ, playing “With Th is Ring I
Th ee Wed.”
Th ey moved to Eugene aft er Paul got a job as a roofer for his friend’s dad. By the time their
third daughter was born, they moved from a duplex they were buying into a corner house on Chase
Street where they were to live 55 years. A son joined the family there. Th ey started a roofi ng/
construction business, kept up with everything the children did, went camping, fi shing & hunting,
followed the Oregon Trail, traced family history and took photos of it all. Barbara went to work for
Bethel School District, fi rst as a cook, then in the Resource Room for 23 years before retiring. Th ey
joined Asbury Methodist Church.
Her “To-Do” lists seemed to get even longer as they planned vacations, family events with the
grandkids & wrote the family newsletter every month. As her folks aged, she & Paul spent more &
more time with them.
A loss of energy sent her to the Dr. and the discovery of cancer. She fought it as her Dad
passed away and continued treatment as they moved her mom into assisted living. “Faith, Family
& Friends” kept them going, along with Paul’s help. Just aft er the death of her mom, Barbara passed
the mark as a 5-year cancer survivor. Th e whole family celebrated.
Th ey celebrated again in 2016 for the 75 th anniversaries of the day her folks moved into the
Home Place, & Barbara’s 75 th birthday. Family photos & memories of all the happy times were
shared again.
Aft er years of keeping her diabetes under tight control with diet, her blood sugar was sud-
denly too high. Doctors found she had spots of cancer in her pancreas and liver. She started chemo
again in May 2017.
Her Faith, Family and Friends were so important to Barbara. Each generation was welcomed
and precious to her and to Paul. She was an only child, but she and Paul made a family circle.
It encompassed: Vickie (Earl) Long; Bonnie (Mike) Allen; Sandra Funk; & Greg (Carrie)
Funk. Grandchildren included: Joe (Tiff any) Padilla; Linda Charette; Sarah (Chris) Carpenter; Jen-
nie (James) Gardner; Steve Allen; Josh (Emily) Funk; Robert Funk; Sam Funk & Calvin Funk. Great
grandchildren: Rio Cournoyer, Xander Charette, Ava & Lillie Gardner. Dear friends included Ken
& Doris Adair, many from Asbury, and in-laws: Gary & Alice Funk and Helen & David Cooper.
Smith-Lund-Mills Funeral Chappel in Cottage Grove is in charge of arrangements. Burial
will be at Taylor-Lane Cemetery south of Cottage Grove off London Rd. Donations in her memory
would be welcomed at Asbury UMC or the Oregon Cancer Foundation.
