Dorothy Mae Ego, 84, of Troutdale passed away at her res-
idence on Aug. 19 under the care of hospice. A private inter-
ment will take place at the Pine Haven Cemetery in Halfway.
On Sept. 29, 1931, James (Paul) Masterson and Ennis
(Watson) Masterson welcomed Dorothy into the world in
Crowley, Colorado. Dorothy attended high school in Bak-
er City at Baker High School. She became a librarian and
worked at Baker High School as well as at Grant Union High
School in John Day for 32 years before she retired.
She married Eugene Franklin Ego in Boise, Idaho, on Aug.
29, 1952.
Reading and spending time with her beloved cat, Nikko,
were some of the things she cherished.
She is preceded in death by her husband, Eugene Franklin
Ego, and her daughter, Erna Kay Williams.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Friends of the
Library through Gray’s West & Co., 1500 Dewey Ave., Baker
City, OR 97814.

cancer.
A donation account has been set up
at the Old West Credit Union under
the name Dave Sandersfeld.
Without treatment, he is expected
to live two to three months and with
treatment he may have two to three
years. His treatment will require travel
to Bend every other week.
He is using medical marijuana and
his own personal knowledge of herbs
to help combat the cancer as well as
working with Chinese medicine prac-
titioner Kyle Cline.
“Prayers are needed for sure,” Deb-
bie wrote in an email. “With hope and
prayers we look forward to beating
this and getting the surgery to remove
the cancer in his kidney.”

This year, the 2016-17
Wayne Stewart Scholar-
ship will provide $567,400
to divide among 108 Grant
County students seeking
higher education goals.
The distribution amount
is down by $13,600, com-
pared with last year; the
amount available depends
on how the stock market
performs.
The scholarships bene-
fit Grant County students
of all ages who qualify,
thanks to the late bene-
factors Wayne Stewart
of Dayville and his son
Eminger Stewart III of Mt.
Vernon, who made provi-
sions in their wills to set
up a perpetual education
fund upon their death.
The funds are managed
by the U.S. Bank’s private
client group in Bend.
Recipients can use the
funds for undergraduate,
trade or graduate school ed-
ucational expenses, up to a

Robert Waltenburg said
the scholarship opens up
opportunities for local stu-
dents.
“It’s an amazing gift by
the Stewart family to pro-
vide for our kids,” he said.
“It’s an extremely generous
gift, making possibilities
happen for them.”
Superintendent/Princi-
pal Earl Pettit said gradu-
ates at Monument School
have been consistent in
applying for the Stewart
Scholarship.
“It has a tremendous im-
pact on our students when
they head off for college,”
he said. “It’s the best schol-
arship we have in Grant
County.”
