1955. She attended University of
Portland and received her Bachelor

She married Pete Peterson in The Dalles in 1958 and
welcomed two children. After their separation and divorce,
she married John Sigler in Woodburn in 1980. She traveled

favorite spot was the island nation of Grenada in the West In-
dies, where she met lots of friends in the later part of her life.
She was involved with planning commissions in Woodburn

moved to Pendleton where she enjoyed retirement. She also
loved huckleberry picking, fishing, puzzles, embroidery and

SNAFFLE BIT DINNER HOUSE
830 S Canyon Blvd, John Day | 541-575-2426
A man wakes up in
the morning after
sleeping on an
ADVERTISED BED,
in ADVERTISED
PAJAMAS.
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.
