Birth Announcement Annabelle Gassner, 97, formerly of Wheeler County, died Friday, May 27, 2011, at Cascade View in Bend, Oregon, where she had been a resident since December of 2007. A graveside service was held Sunday, June 5,2011, at the Fossil IOOF Cemetery. A memorial service is being planned in the Kimberly- Monument area for later in July. Mrs. Gassner was bom October 23, 1913, in Ostrander, Washington, the daughter of George and Anna Jackson Morrill. She grew up mostly in Western Oregon and in the Fossil area. On March 3, 1938, she married Fred Gassner at Beaverton, Oregon, and later that year the couple moved to the ranch that her folks owned midway between Kimberly and Monument. The raised dairy cattle, had a registered Angus cattle operation and finally a quarter horse pro gram where they raised, bred and trained quarter horses. The Gassners won several grand champions at a variety of shows and eventually had success with race horses, one of which was Bar McCue, a chestnut color with an “impressive pure white mane and tail.” Gassner horses have been sold to folks in Italy, Saudi Arabia and Canada, as well as each of the 50 states. A n n ab elle was characterized as a “real tough cookie” as she sur vived many accidents in the mountains, while hunt ing or on the ranch when she suffered many falls. She was a charter member of the American Quarter Horse Association for over 62 years and is recorded in their Hall of Fame. She is survived by many nieces and neph ews in Oregon, California, Washington and Montana.
