Obituary Sally Smotherman Warrenton resident Sally Smother- man, a longtime former secretary at Warrenton High School, died Sun- day, Feb. 20, at her home in Warrenton. She was 86. Sally began her career as a school secretary at Fort Stevens Jr High in 1969. She transferred to Warrenton High in 1971. When her husband, Eddie Ray, died, she took over the family’s commercial fishing business, still retaining her job at WHS. With the help of her sons, she successfully owned and operated three com- mercial fishing vessels. Sally enjoyed life to the full- est. She was an avid golfer. As a member of the Asto- ria Golf and Country Club, she enjoyed many rounds of golf with her husband. After his passing, she petitioned for the right to retain her membership to the Country Club and was granted ac- ceptance, making her the first of many women to have membership. She loved church and com- munity. She bought her chil- dren Warrenton High School shirts or sweatshirts from the booster clubs as a Christmas tradition each year. She loved Warrenton and was very proud of all the students and successes. She was preceded in death by two sons, Kelly Smotherman and Scott Smotherman. Sur- vivors include two sons, Steve Hitchman of Warrenton, and Russell Smotherman of War- renton; seven grandchildren, Chelsea Boone, Madison Smotherman, Julie Dun- away, Geoff Hitchman, Dan- iel Cozart, Eric Smotherman, and Andrea Smotherman; and nine great-grandchil- dren. A public visitation was held Feb. 27 at Hughes-Ransom Mortuary in Astoria. A funer- al service was held Feb. 28 at Hughes-Ransom followed by graveside services at Ocean View Cemetery in Warren- ton. In lieu of flowers, the fam- ily suggests contributions be made in her name to the Deep Sea Fishermen’s Bene- fit Fund, P.O. Box 1062, War- renton 97146. Letter to the Editor A tip from dad for tough situations A tip for you I recently re- membered from my father, Les Newton. Les was a farm boy who quit school during the 10th grade to feed his family because his father had passed. He was given an overload ticket with one log on the log truck, he was chosen as Admiral Kaufman’s flight mechanic in the Pacific The- ater from Australia to the signing in Japan, he had a photographic memory, and he was a very successful busi- nessman who recovered after going broke once. He also served as a Warrenton city commissioner for 10 years and as Warrenton mayor for 17 years. My father told me that when you have to do some- thing, such as tighten a bolt with your fingers when you can’t see a thing, close your eyes and it will be much eas- ier to do. It might be because your eyesight is “static” you don’t need it, or it could be that then you can visualize what you are trying to do. I hope you enjoy this gift to you from my father, who was born just a farm boy on the homestead, and who climbed steadily up from there. Rick Newton Warrenton
