She was a long time resident of Pend- leton and Hermiston, Oregon, before spend- ing time in Portland, Oregon, and Spokane, Washington, to be Haines near her children. Barbara was raised by her parents, George and Callie (Perkins) Benson, in Marsing, Idaho, where she attended high school. She and Jerry lived in Jordan Val- ley, Oregon, before moving to Pendleton and Hermiston, Oregon, where they spent the majority of their adult lives raising their two children. Barbara was a devout member of Our Lady of Angels’ and St. Mary’s Cath- olic churches. Barbara was preceded in death by her husband, Jerry Franklin Haines, on April 3, 1991, in Portland, Oregon, at age 58. Jerry and Barbara were married on December 22, 1951, in Kamiah, Idaho. Jerry was the love of Barba- ra’s life, and their marriage was commonly described as a “storybook relationship.” Frequently, people expressed a desire to have a lasting and loving marriage like Barbara and Jerry. Barbara was a dedicated and skilled administrative assistant who worked long periods at Blue Mountain Community College in Pend- leton, and finished her career at the Hermiston School Dis- trict before retiring. She was a loving wife, mother and grandmother. Her humor, loyalty, unconditional love, and zest for life and fam- ily was enjoyed by all who worked with her or spent time with her. The best times of her life were spent surrounded by fam- ily and friends, and the Haines home was frequently the place where everyone gath- ered for food and laughter.

Dolores Jeanette Swagger (Pummel) Walla Walla, December 7, 1930 - January 8, 2018 Hayden Eugene Simon was born December 22, 1997, in North Bend, Ore- gon. He passed away in an automobile accident on Thursday January 11, 2018, near Hermis- ton at the age of 20. In March of 2002, Hayden and his siblings found their “forever fam- ily” when they were adopted by Mike Simon and Deannie Simon, and moved to Hermis- ton. Even at 4 years old, he would light up a room with his genuine smile. His blue eyes would sparkle, he would say or do some- thing goofy, and you had been charmed. Even when he did something wrong, a flash of his smile and all was forgiven. It was hard to be upset with Hayden for very long. Hayden was every- one’s “favorite,” even if you weren’t supposed to have one. Hayden started play- ing sports right away, and was a natural athlete. He enjoyed all things physical, but really found his niche when he started playing Grid Kids football in third grade. He loved everything about football, especially that he could “tackle” other kids and not get in trouble. He became known as a very hard hitter, one you feared lining up against. Hayden was fortunate to be coached by some amazing men that he had great respect for, and whom he continued to turn to for help when he needed, even after he had left their program. At one foot- ball camp, Hayden became known as “Sunshine” for his long blonde hair, after a character from “Remember the Titans.” He was a proud member of the Hermiston Bulldogs state champion- ship team in 2014. Rain or shine — Dawgs all the time! Hayden had many friends at school, and was involved in many activities. He would help whenever he was asked to. He loved working out, snowboarding, snowmobil- ing, trying new things and just spending time with his friends. He loved helping younger kids, and kids with special needs. If you knew Hayden, you loved Hayden. Hayden graduated from Hermiston High School in 2016 and accepted a foot- ball scholarship to Montana State Northern in Havre, Mont. Because of a shoul- der surgery in the summer, he was redshirted and on the side lines. A combination of not being able to play and being in such a small town made him rethink his choice. He left MSUN and returned to Hermis- ton to try to figure things out. Last sum- mer he up and left on a walkabout, which brought him to LA, then Tucson, and finally NYC. He really liked NY, but after realizing how expen- sive it was to live there, he returned home in Novem- ber with a plan to return to college and get his degree. He was so excited as he started BMCC the week of his death. Heaven must have needed an angel. He was preceded in death by his uncle Steven Simon, grandmother Eileen Simon, and grandfather Ron Sager. He is survived by his parents, Mike and Dean- nie Simon of Hermis- ton; brother Ryan Simon of Hermiston; sister Cierra Simon and nephew Led- ger Simon, both of Phoe- nix, Ariz.; grandfather Tom Simon of Casa Grande, Ariz.; uncles Tim Simon of Hermiston, Mark and Peg Simon of Omaha, Neb., and cousins Steven, Tommy and Joe; grandmother Nancy Sager of Mount Vernon, Wash.; aunt Debi and Scott Krichbaum of Carlsbad, Calif., and cousins, Justin, Dillan and Tyler. A memorial service will be at 2:00 p.m. Sat- urday, January 20, 2018, at EOTEC, 1705 E. Air- port Road, Hermiston, OR 97838. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests a donation in Hayden’s name to any charity that helps kids, or foster kids, especially with sports. Burns Mortuary of Hermiston is in charge of arrangements.
