Hedevig “Hedy” J. Page, 92, of

memorial service was held Aug. 7 at

Page was born March 10, 1925,
to John and Anina Christensen
in Bethel, South Dakota, where
she grew up on a farm during the
Great Depression. She married
Dell Page on July 28, 1946, and
they owned and operated a very successful well-drilling
business in Veneta until their retirement to John Day in
1996.
She enjoyed her family, a wide circle of longtime friends
and working with Dell on the never-ending landscaping and
home improvement projects. She was an excellent cook; her
Danish upbringing ensured you would never leave her house
feeling hungry. She was quick-witted, kind-hearted and al-
ways had a sweet smile. In her later years, she worked end-
lessly on jigsaw puzzles.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 64 years,
Dell, in 2010; and her brother Carsten Christensen.
She is survived by daugher Carol of John Day; son Wayne
of Veneta; granddaughter Katrina; and one great-grand-
daughter.
Memorial contributions may be made to Blue Mountain
Hospice through Driskill Memorial Chapel.

He will bathe in an ADVERTISED TUB, shave with an ADVERTISED RAZOR,
have a breakfast of ADVERTISED JUICE, cereal and toast, toasted in an
ADVERTISED TOASTER, put on ADVERTISED CLOTHES and glance at his
ADVERTISED WATCH. He’ll ride to work in his ADVERTISED CAR, sit at an
ADVERTISED DESK and write with an ADVERTISED PEN. Yet this person
hesitates to advertise, saying that advertising doesn’t pay. Finally, when his
non-advertised business is going under, HE’LL ADVERTISE IT FOR SALE.
Then it’s too late.
