A long-time resident of
Hermiston died peacefully
in her sleep, Feb. 5, 2018, at
the age of nearly 85.
Georgia Lenile Jatko
(Cunningham) was
born in Ash Fork,
Arizona, on March
6, 1933. In her final
years, she suffered
from
Alzheimer’s
disease in a Hermis- Jatko
ton facility. In Jan-
uary, she had been
moved to another
facility in Ontario,
Oregon, where she
passed on February 5.
She was always
called Lenile, but in
her older years she Jatko
was known as Lenny
by all her many friends.
She was the second of four
children of John and Mirla
Cunningham. During the
Great Depression the fam-
ily moved many times to
find work. At last, in 1943,
John was hired by the
Union Pacific Railroad, and
northeast Oregon would
become the family home.
They lived along the rail-
road line in Wieser, Idaho,
and then La Grande, Pend-
leton, and Hermiston.
In 1967, she married Ste-
phen Jatko. The marriage
lasted only four years, and
they had one child. She
then had to raise her son,
John Jason Jatko, work-
ing as a single mom. Lenny
had several jobs in Herm-
iston before finally settling
in at Ye Olde Pizza Shoppe,
where she would stay for the
next 22 years. She became
a fixture at the shop,
and knew hundreds
of customers from
the Hermiston area.
She even appeared
in a TV commercial
for the shop that was
shown on a Tri-Cit-
ies TV station.
She was preceded
in death by her par-
ents, John and Mirla
Cunningham,
and
her two younger
brothers, Gene and
Richard. Her sur-
vivors include her
older brother, John
Jr. (Barbara) and
nephew Jim, of Rich-
land, Wash. Her brother
Gene’s widow, Judy, and
extended family live in Ari-
zona, Nevada, and Arkan-
sas. Her son John with her
two grandsons, Hunter
and Cody, live in New
Hampshire.
Lenny always loved
being near the ocean, and
wanted her ashes to be put
in the sea. To ensure that her
wishes would be honored,
she made early arrange-
ments with Burns Mortu-
ary in Hermiston. Upon her
death, her ashes were to
be sent to her son in New
Hampshire to be spread
in the Atlantic Ocean. She
will always be loved and
remembered by those who
knew her.
