Trisha Marie Farley
Huddleston passed away
after an eight-year battle
with cancer. She coura-
geously fought the disease
to the very end. She was
born on August 18, 1948, to
Jim and Louise Farley. She
attended school in Heppner,
graduating in 1966, then
attended college at EOU
in LaGrande and OSU in
Corvallis.
After college, Trisha
married and lived in Herm-
iston for several years.
There, she welcomed three
daughters. After her daugh-
ter Alissa passed away,
Trisha and her daughters
Anjie and Aimee, moved
to Canby. Trisha raised
her girls while working at
a travel agency. She loved
arranging trips for her cli-
ents and making sure their
vacations were planned to
perfection.
In 1988, Trish met the
love of her life, Mike Hud-
dleston at the Heppner St
Patrick’s Day celebration.
As the story goes, they
were introduced by cousin
Paul Hisler. They recently
celebrated 33 happy years
of marriage.
Trish spent many years
in Canby before moving to
Woodburn. She enjoyed
her work as a travel agent
so much that she continued
working part time from
home, even while fighting
cancer.
“She had an amazing
sense of humor. She had
an uncanny knack for find-
ing the perfect greeting
card. Trish was so proud
of her family and loved
seeing what her daughters
and grandchildren have ac-
complished,” said a family
member.
Survivors include her
husband, Mike; daughters,
Anjie (Darren) Vannoy
and Aimee (Jeremy) Ken-
nel; sister, Shanny (Mark)
Miller; grandchildren,
Kylie Watton, Ely Ken-
nel and Karlie Vannoy;
nephew, Corey (Jill) Miller
and niece, Marcy (Jimmy)
Walton. She is preceded in
death by her parents and her
daughter, Alissa Halvorsen.
Trish wished to be bur-
ied next to her daughter
Alissa, in Heppner, OR.
The graveside service was
Monday, July 18, 2022.
Contributions may be
made in Trisha’s honor,
to Heppner Elementary
School for books, at PO
Box 367, Heppner, OR
97836.
