O BITUARIES
Carmen Wickam
Baker City, 1952-2019
Carmen Kay (Lewis)
Wickam, 67, of Baker City,
died due to complications
from ALS, Nov. 6, 2019, at her
home with her husband, Rod,
by her side.
There will be
a celebration
of her life at 11
a.m. Wednesday
at the Baker
City Christian
Carmen
Church, 675
Wickam
Highway 7,
in Baker City.
Friends are invited to join the
family for a potluck at the
church after the service at the
church.
Carmen was born on Jan.
10, 1952, to Robert “Bob”
Lewis and Esther (Jeffords)
Lewis at Enterprise. She was
the oldest of three children;
brothers, Vearl and Bobb
Lewis followed.
Carmen grew up in beauti-
ful Wallowa County, hanging
out with her brothers, grand-
parents and cousins and
watching her brothers play
sports. She was involved in
4-H, participating in cooking,
sewing and showing Hereford
steers, which were raised on
her grandfather’s ranch.
She enjoyed comparing
pictures of her prize win-
ning Hereford steer with
her granddaughters’ prize
winning Angus steers. She
graduated from Wallowa
High School, Class of 1970.
Carmen met her husband,
Rodney “Rod” Wickam, at the
park in Baker City. They mar-
ried Dec. 18, 1971, at a small
ceremony in Wallowa.
They had three children.
In July 1972 they welcomed
their fi rst daughter, Rhonda
Kay; in July 1975 their
second daughter, Heidi Marie;
NOV 8-14
and son, Adam Charles, com-
pleted the family in January
1981.
She and Rod started rais-
ing their family in a small
house on Grove Street,
before moving to Elgin. They
returned to Keating Valley
where they lived for many
years before moving into
Baker. Through her children,
she kept her love of 4-H
going as their 4-H leader for
many years.
Carmen started volunteer-
ing at the Baker County
Public Library in Septem-
ber 1986 and was hired full
time on June 30, 1988. She
worked faithfully for 30 years,
retiring on June 30, 2018, as
the library administrative
manager.
She loved to read mystery
novels and to be the fi rst
person to open the pages of
a new book. In her free time
she loved being “Gram” to her
two granddaughters Morgan
Marie and Carley Kay; going
to softball, volleyball and
4-H events, making cookies,
breads or teaching the fi ne
art of shelving books.
Carmen and Rod enjoyed
going to their cabin and
gardening. They took many
“drive abouts,” seeing Oregon,
Wyoming, Colorado, Wash-
ington, Canada, the Dakotas
and all over the mountains of
Eastern Oregon. In December
2018, they celebrated their
47th wedding anniversary
having pizza overlooking the
Pacifi c Ocean from Kauai.
She was preceded in death
by parents, Robert and
Esther Lewis; grandparents,
Edgar and Effi e Lewis and
Wendell and Myrtle Jeffords.
Carmen is survived by
her husband, Rod; daugh-
ters, Rhonda Wickam and
Heidi Johnson (son-in-law
Sam); son, Adam Wickam;
granddaughters, Morgan
Johnson and Carley Johnson

Alta Rose Moore
Formerly of Haines, 1917-2019
Alta Rose Moore, 102, of
Union, died Nov. 5, 2019, at
Pioneer Place in Vale.
A memorial will take place
in the spring, her favorite
season.
Known as Rose, and to
many as Rosie, she was born
July 2, 1917, at
Haines to Thom-
as H. and Myrtle
E. (Maxwell)
Christensen.
Rose attended
Rose
school at Muddy
Moore
Creek until her
second year of
high school, when her family
bought a home in Haines. She
graduated from high school in
Haines in 1935.
After high school, Rose
moved to Modesto, California,
and spent 13 years there. She
returned to Haines in 1949.
She worked as a waitress
and desk clerk at the Geiser
Grand Hotel in Baker City
and as a clerk at the Haines
Post Offi ce.
In her younger years, Rose
played the pump organ and
piano at the Haines Baptist
Church. In Modesto, she
played the piano at the Grace
Baptist Church and was an
accompanist for the soloists
at the church and on the
radio.
In 1953, Rose married
Ernest S. “Pat” Moore. They
moved to the Snake River
in 1957 and she worked as
a clerk at the Homestead
Post Offi ce and helped at the
grocery store. While living in
Homestead, Rose and Pat’s
son, Ernest T. “Tom” Moore,
was born. After leaving the
post offi ce she began cooking
at the Hells Canyon Inn and
later leased the cafe at the
Halfway Hotel.
In 1966, Rose and Pat
divorced, and she moved with
Tom to North Powder. Rose
leased the cafe at the North
Powder Motel, which she
operated until August 1967
when she and Tom moved to
Union. Rose cooked at The
Hut Cafe until she retired
and continued to live in
Union until her death.
Rose is survived by her son
and daughter-in-law, Tom
and Donna of Clyde, Alberta,
Canada; her stepdaughter,
Carol Ashby of John Day;
four grandchildren; two step-
grandchildren and three
step-great-grandchildren;
and many nieces and neph-
ews and great-nieces and
great-nephews.
She was preceded in death
by her parents, Thomas and
Myrtle Christensen; her
sister and brother-in-law,
Myrtle Marie and Joe Carroll
of Richland, Washington; her
ex-husband, Ernest “Pat”
Moore; her stepchildren, Paul
Moore of Richland, Wilbur
Ashby of John Day, Jerry
