Barlow, 83, of Heppner passed away Saturday, January 24, 2015 in Hermiston, OR. A memo- rial service with military honors will be held Tues- day, Feb. 10, at 4 p.m. at St. Patrick’s Senior Center with a reception to follow. Cecil was born in El- gin, OR on December 19, 1931 to Leonard and Clara Eckstien Barlow. He grew up and attended school in Elgin. When he gradu- ated from high school, the quote he chose to go un- der his picture was: “A quiet tongue shows a wise head.” That choice shows Cecil’s wisdom, as that was a young age to realize the impact of that quote. After graduation, he joined the Navy, but was discharged because the water hurt his ears. He then served in the U.S. Army from 1954 – 1956. He slowly lost his hearing over the next several years. He resided in La Grande, Milton-Freewater, Elgin, Heppner and Lexington. Cecil was a “rolling stone.” He worked sev- eral jobs in Elgin and La Grande, predominantly in sawmills. He also owned and operated a greenhouse for about six years in Mil- ton-Freewater. He liked working all aspects of his greenhouse. (It is no won- der that he loved his fruit trees, flowers and delicious grapes. He truly enjoyed sharing his fruits with his friends and neighbors.) For a number of years, Cecil was also employed with Morrow County Grain Growers working the grain elevators. After traveling around he finally moved back to Heppner for good in 1993. Cecil relished the time he spent outdoors, trapping, fishing and hunting. He was well-known as a fur trapper, and several journals were of PEO BJ and Delphian’s. Barbara was a two-time breast cancer survivor and supported the Round-Up’s Tough Enough to Wear Pink, the Festival of Trees, the beginnings of St. Antho- ny’s Cancer Center, and the new St. Anthony’s Hospital by volunteering behind the scenes. Barbara was a dedi- cated friend, and greatly en- joyed socializing. Barbara loved her garden, especially her roses. She enjoyed rec- ognizing her friends’ birth- days with cards and sending notes of encouragement. She is preceded in death by: her husband, Rob- ert L. Hale; parents, Vivian Viola and Vernon Prock; stepfather, Maurice Elder; brothers, Wayne, Jim and Jerry Prock; sister, Janice Cutsforth; daughter, Pamela Jayne; and grandson, Cason Terjeson. She is survived by: her sister, Colleen Ployhar (Jack) of Hermiston, OR; sons, Todd Peterson and Treve Peterson (Elizabeth) of Ione, OR; Jan Peterson- Terjeson (Matt) of Beaver- ton, OR; granddaughters, Lydia Terjeson of Bea- verton, Renee and Haylie Peterson of Ione; father of her children, Herbert L. Peterson of Ione; Rob- ert Hale’s children, Steve Hale (Polly), of Plymouth, WA, Roberta Tullis (Kirk), of Pendleton, Kevin Hale (Lori) of Pendleton; and Robert’s grandchildren and great-grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, con- tributions can be made to Ione Education Foundation or PEO BJ, PO Box 1061, Pendleton, OR, which sup- ports women’s higher edu- cational. Online condolences may be shared with the fam- ily at www.pioneerchapel. com. found in which he wrote about his adventures of trapping and where the best spots for trapping could be found. He also liked play- ing video poker and had his share of winning hands. Cecil looked forward to and sincerely appreciated the Veteran’s Ceremony at Heppner High School every year. He had saved many of the programs and the invita- tions in his box of treasures. However, one of his favorite things was his daily trips downtown. He could usually be found on the streets and in the businesses of Heppner from about 10:00 in the morning till 4:00 in the afternoon. He loved sharing jokes with people, giving rides on his scooter, congratulating the athletes or their parents, and sharing the events of the day that he found in news- papers. He had nicknamed his scooter his “Caddy or Cadilac.” No tribute to Cecil would be complete without mentioning his devotion to his cats and any cats that people would leave for him to take care of. The cats would sit on Cecil’s shoul- ders, legs and lap, keeping him warm while he read at night. Cecil would also go on walks around the neigh- borhood with his cats, and they would heal much like a dog. He is survived by his sister, Ednabelle Lankhaar, and brothers, Fred Barlow and Bill Barlow, as well as many loving nieces and nephews. Cecil was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Mary Barlow. If you would like to do- nate to a charity in Cecil’s name, please donations to; PAWS, 517 S.E. 3rd St., Pendleton OR 97801.

Are You A Cripple? All of us have had experiences which have made us feel hurt, rejected or unfairly treated. Maybe we have suffered bereavement and life now seems lonely and empty. These experiences can make us emotional cripples: unable to fully trust, love and enjoy those around us. Some persons may have their self image so damaged they continue to feel inferior, rejected or unworthy for the rest of their lives. There will be a series of classes held at Christian Life Cen- ter starting at 6:00 PM on Sat.,Feb., 7th. We invite you to join us as we heal together.
