marriage Dec. 12, 2021.
They were active mem-

Harvey was born on April
5, 1928, in Eagle Point, to
William and Olive Fore-
man. He graduated in 1945
from Pendleton High School.
He attended his 70th class
reunion in 2015. He worked
for Pacifi c Northwest Bell for
37 years, retiring at age 56.
Harvey spent his retire-
ment years volunteering with
Habitat for Humanity, pre-
paring taxes for seniors, read-
ing with children in elemen-
tary schools and delivering
meals-on-wheels.
Singing was one of his
greatest joys. He sang in

west Chorale from 1999 to
2019. He sang his last con-
cert in December 2019, at the

Yakima, Washington.
Bernice worked for doc-
tors Easton, Bruon, and Col-
lis and Dr. Woodward. She

Pendleton Academy at the
age of 78.
She was a wonderful cook
and homemaker, and loved to
have family gatherings. She
was known to her grandchil-
dren as the “‘pannie-cake’
grandma” because of her
Mickey Mouse and huckle-
berry pancakes.
In her retirement years,
she volunteered for Habitat
for Humanity, Oregon Trail
Manor and as a hostess for
Inland Northwest Chorale
concerts.
Bernice loved going to the
beach and watching waves

novels shipped to her from
her daughter in Oklahoma.

Starmer (Steve, deceased),
of Redmond, Washington,

Broken Arrow, Oklahoma,
Patricia Jewkes, Barb Reh-
berg (John), of Pendle-
ton, and Diane Witchey of
Pendleton.
They are predeceased
by their youngest daughter,
Janet Bliley.
They cherished their
close relationships with their
seven grandchildren and 11
great-grandchildren.
Through their lifetime of
marriage, they imparted their
love, kindness and generos-
ity to three generations, as
well as the value of keeping
family bonds strong and full
of love.
