Roberta DeAnn ‘Annie’ Elgin
Roberta DeAnn “An-
nie” Elgin, 71, of Heppner
died Monday, March 14,
2016 at Richland, WA. A
memorial funeral Mass
will be held 11 a.m. Sat-
urday, April 2, at St. Pat-
rick’s Catholic Church in
Heppner. A luncheon will
immediately follow at St.
Patrick’s parish hall.
She was born March
15, 1944 at Redmond, OR,
the daughter of Robert and
Dickse Keyes Williams.
Annie was raised in Twick-
enham, OR; during her ear-
ly school years she attended
Twickenham School, taught
by her mother Dickse, the
only teacher in the one-
room school house. She
then transitioned into the
neighboring town of Mitch-
ell through her high school
years, where she graduated
in 1962.
Ann married Jacy Lee
Gibbs in 1964 in Twicken-
ham. They later divorced.
Ann then married Patrick
N. Elgin on May 20, 1979
in Prineville, OR. In 1980,
Pat and Ann moved their
family to Pat’s family
farm, dubbed “Last Chance
Ranch,” where the family
farmed until health forced
the sale. Annie sold real
estate for a number of years
while living in Prineville
and Pendleton. During her
years of real estate, she was
honored with numerous
awards, as well as serving
as the president of the Real-
tors Land Institute, which
allowed her to do extensive
traveling throughout the
United States. For a few
years, Ann ran the Silver
Saddle in Pendleton. After
running the restaurant, she
moved to Heppner to be
near her son and his family.
Ann loved spending
time with her family and
watching her kids’, then
grandkids’, involvement in
sports, 4-H, FFA and any
other activity. She was an
avid seamstress and en-
joyed goling in her later
years.
Ann was a member of
the Pendleton and Hep-
pner Elks lodges, Pendle-
ton Eagles Lodge, and St.
Patrick’s Catholic Church
in Heppner.
Survivors include her
daughter, Carrie (Joe-de-
ceased) Bennett of Pendle-
ton; sons, Jay (Sue) Gibbs
of Heppner and Kenny
(Chris) Gibbs of Hermiston;
sister, Mary M. Fitzgerald;
brothers, Robert Williams,
Kevin D. Williams and A.
Mathew Williams; nine
grandchildren; and four
great-grandchildren.
Annie was preceded
in death by brothers, Peter
Williams and Don Wil-
liams, and a sister, Chica
Hansen.
