Marjorie Jean Withey,
age 78, of Irrigon, Oregon,

on October 17, 2019, after
a battle with cancer.
Born in February 1941
in western North Dakota,
Jean graduated from Man-
daree High School, contin-
ued with some college and
then cosmetology school.
For over 30 years Jean was
a loyal representative of the
AVON Company, in addi-
tion to working many years
cooking for the Irrigon
School District.
Jean was preceded in
death by her parents, Reu-
ben and Marian Olson;
her sister, Vernice Munoz;
and her late husband of 10
years, Dean Withey. She
was also preceded in death
by her first husband, Joseph
Nieman, after a long bat-
tle with ALS, and by the
loss of her second husband
of almost 30 years, Bruce

She is survived by her
son, Richard Nieman;
daughter-in-law,

Nieman; and five siblings,
Carolyn Nelson, Robert
Olson, Lois Blegen, Shir-
ley Arnegard and Judy
Hughes. Jean will be for-
ever remembered by many
nieces and nephews along
with extended family and
dear friends.
Our family extends a
very special Thank You to
Jean’s dearest friend and
guardian angel, Judy Coff-
man. Jean loved Judy and
her sons, Jim and Erik, as
she considered them her
Oregon family.
Our sincerest gratitude
to Judy for the wonder-
ful love, kindness and ten-
der care she gave to Jean.
We are also grateful to the
wonderful nurses from
Hermiston Hospice, who
treated Jean with dignity
and kindness.
