Robert James Powell
December 14, 1934 - December 18, 2021
Robert James Powell, 87, died Dec. 18, 2021, in
Richland, Washington. Robert was born Dec. 14, 1934,
to Vernis "Mike" and Eunice Powell in Drain, Oregon.
The first of three children, Bob spent his early years in
the towns of McKenzie, Riddle and Tiller, Oregon. In
1949, the family moved to Homedale where he attended
Homedale High School, graduating in 1953. He served
in the U.S. Army, before buying a farm outside Adrian,
Oregon.
Bob married Wilma Austin in 1961. They made their
home in Adrian with their five children, Jan Herndon
(d. Gene), Hermiston, Oregon; Linda Wilcox (m.
Raymond), Pilot Rock, Oregon; Lori Pruitte (m. Mike)
Kennewick, Washington; Michael (m. Kim) Tillamook,
Oregon; and Paul of Seattle Washington.
In 1979, they moved to Umatilla, Oregon, where
Bob worked in agricultural products, especially in
the development of feed pellets. After retiring several
times, Bob finally perfected it. He spent his time with
the people and things he loved best: his family, his
garden and most of all fishing.

Marilyn Powell of Gaithersburg, Maryland; 11
