D o n -
ald George

passed away
Nov.
18,
2016,

la, and his brother
Tom Shirilla. Don
is survived by his
sister Georgia; sis-

nieces Katie and
Stacey; several second and
third cousins; and dearest
friend,Virginia.
Don was born Jan. 11,

heart and soul were always
full of love, compassion
and passion. He received
his bachelor of arts degree
from Linfield College and
a master’s degree from the
University of Washington,
both in sociology.
He worked for sever-
al social service agencies
and medical institutions
in Hermiston, Pendleton
and the Portland area and
during his service in the
Army Reserves.
Don’s greatest passions
were running, baseball,
football, especially college

members who shared his
interests and life experi-
ences. Don loved growing
up in Eastern Oregon. He
loved running along the

his family could not
be more grateful to
the doctors, nurses,
researchers and so
many others at OHSU for
giving him the gift of an
additional 30 years of life.
Don was a deacon at the
Multnomah Presbyterian
Church in Portland where
his memorial service will
be held at 2 p.m., Jan. 11,
2017. His church family
gave him great friendships,
strength, joy and comfort.
