WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 30, 2017 OBITUARIES DEATH NOTICES Keith LaVerne Collins Kenneth Russell Nichols Hermiston October 26, 1927 - August 25, 2017 Hermiston August 22, 1972 - August 25, 2017 Keith LaVerne Collins went peacefully to his Lord on August 25, 2017, in Kennewick, Washington. He was born October 26, 1927, in Burr Oak, Kansas, to Wanda and Wilford Collins as their fi rst born of seven children. Keith and Flor- ence were young- sters as they mar- ried in Philipsburg, Collins Kansas, on May 17, 1947. He is survived by his loving wife of 70 years Florence Belle Collins, and two daughters, Cynthia Johnstone (Wayne) and Tanya McNeil (Larry). His grandchildren will miss him greatly: Curtis Johnstone (Carla), Shauna Johnstone, Trenton McNeil (Diana), David Johnstone (Shari) and Tauna Soller (Lane). Keith’s great-grandchil- dren number 15, with one great-great-grandson. Keith is the oldest of seven children, survived by his sisters Pat Bartlett (Bud, deceased) and Tru- dy Ward (Mike). His other siblings preceded him in death: Jerry Wayne, Jackie Dean, Willa and Willard. Keith is survived by sis- ters-in-law on Florence’s side of the family: Virginia Bias, Naomi Day and Al- ice Day. Keith has many friends, nieces, nephews, cousins, who will miss his great laugh and smile. Keith was raised in Nebraska and Kansas un- til he and Florence were married. He then took his wife and daughters to the Pacifi c Northwest. Prior to that, Keith served in the U.S. Navy from 1944-46 on USS Charles R Ware, destroyer. He is a WWII veteran. In his early years Keith worked on the railroad, in grain elevators and what- ever would take care of his family. After moving out west he worked as a concrete inspector on a variety of dams. On some of the dams, Keith had to face his greatest fear – snakes! Rat- tlesnakes were very common and numer- ous as they would scoop out a load of dirt, dangling with snakes! He handled it pretty well, but would scoot out of the way. Keith began work- ing for the Army Corps of Engineers in 1961 and re- tired in 1985. At this point he began his golfi ng career in earnest! Keith’s family was his fi rst love, but golf came in a close second! He shared golfi ng with his family and friends mostly on the Echo golf course where he got his “hole-in-one”! Keith and Florence loved to trav- el in their motor home even as far as Georgia to see their kids and grandkids. Keith and Florence were long time members of the Hermiston Methodist Church. Keith served in the church and they were both very active throughout their years in Hermiston. Graveside services will be held for Keith at the Hermiston Cemetery with his family. Military hon- ors will be given, family prayers and dedication. His Journey’s Just Begun “...
