BAKER CITY — Janice Arlene Rehder, 83, of Rit-
ter, died Dec. 12 at Ashley Manor in Baker City. At her
request, there will not be a funeral.
Mrs. Rehder was born July 6, 1932, in Ritter, to Le-
land and Lena Mae (Burnette) Cameron. She attend-
ed Three Mile School, and transferred to St. Joseph
Academy in Pendleton to finish high school.
She met her future husband when her father, who
was a crew supervisor on the Malheur National Forest,
invited a young man under his supervision, Robert Reh-
der of Mt. Vernon, to join them for dinner.
They married on Jan. 28, 1950, and had four children.
The couple made their ¿ rst home in Ritter, where they
began ranching. She raised a large garden every year and
canned, so the rewards could be appreciated all year.
They lived in Mt. Vernon for nine years.
She had a weekly ritual of baking bread and cinnamon
rolls, and could make a gourmet meal out of very little.
She enjoyed having company, and ¿ xed a meal that left
nobody hungry.
For 27 years, she worked as a school bus driver for the
Long Creek School District. She drove the activity bus to
sporting events and never had a lost-time accident.
She enjoyed hunting and ¿ shing, and bagged game
with her favorite .30-30 riÀ e during many deer and elk
seasons. She was most proud of the Angus herd she and
her husband started in the 1950s.
She was an outstanding cowgirl who broke many
horses and trained them for cutting.
Survivors include her son, Gerald of Ritter; daugh-
ters, Belinda (Larry) Ellis of Lincoln City and Benita
(Tony) Britt of Baker City; ¿ ve grandchildren; and six
great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 53 years,
Robert, and son, William.
Memorial donations may be made to Best Friends, an
animal care and adoption service, through Tami’s Pine
Valley Funeral Home and Cremation Services, P.O. Box
543, Halfway, OR 97834.
