OBITUARIES
Rev. John Tindell
Seaside
April 2, 1936 — Dec. 31, 2020
Rev. John Tindell has
been called home after a
lifetime of service to the
Lord, many communities
in Alaska and the Pacifi c
Northwest and his family.
He died peacefully at home,
under hospice care, on Dec.
31, 2020, after a struggle
with complications from a
stroke.
John was born on April
2, 1936, in Miami, Flor-
ida, to John J. and Mary
L (McLean) Tindell. His
mother raised him in their
neighborhood Allapattah
Methodist Church, which
led to his goal at age 12 of
serving as a Methodist pas-
tor, a path he followed for
almost all of his adult life.
John met Beryl Insinger
while they were students
at Florida Southern Col-
lege in Lakeland, Florida.
They were married in 1959,
while John was fi nishing a
master’s degree in divinity
from Emory University, and
following Beryl’s agree-
ment to a life of adven-
ture in Alaska and beyond.
The two traveled the globe
together extensively. Beryl
died in 2018, after 60 years
of marriage.
In his deepest self he was
an explorer, following mis-
sion opportunities in Cuba,
Appalachia, Scotland and
over 35 years in Alaska. He
was the founding pastor of
the Sitka United Methodist
Church, and the fi rst pastor
of the then newly combined
Methodist and Presbyte-
rian Northern Light United
Church in Juneau. He also
led the east Anchorage and
Anchorage First United
Methodist churches.
After his offi cial retire-
ment in Alaska, John served
four more churches, two in
Idaho and two in Oregon.
His fi nal assignment was
11 years as pastor of the
Seaside Signal
City of Seaside
Rev. John Tindell
Seaside United Methodist
Church in Seaside.
John is survived by his
two children, Raymond
and Cynthia (“Cindy”);
grandson, Kevin; and sis-
ter, Estelle Lima, of Miami,
Florida.
Raymond is a Portland
attorney and graduate of the
University of Miami and
Southern Methodist Uni-
versity Law School. Cindy
is a graduate of Georgetown
University, has master’s
degrees from Columbia
University and the Har-
vard Business School, and
is a vice president at Nex-
tEra Energy in Palm Beach,
Florida.
In retirement years, John
and Beryl enjoyed being
a part of the life of their
grandson, Kevin, a doctoral
student at Arizona State
University.
A Zoom celebration of
life and ministry is planned
for Jan. 30 at 11 a.m. Please

In memory of John’s life,
donations may be made to

odist Church.

S
Farewell to Beanie
Johnsen, longtime War-
renton resident. Our sweet
Mom went to be with our
Lord on Dec. 23, 2020.
She was born Bon-
nie Jean Davis on Feb. 15,
1939, in Astoria. Beanie
was given her nickname by
her fi ve older brothers, and
it stuck, and everyone knew
her as Beanie.
She was raised in War-
renton, and lived there most
of her life. She was raised
by her parents, Ruby and
Russell Davis, along with
fi ve older brothers and one
sister.
Beanie attended Warren-
ton schools, and graduated
in 1957. She met and mar-
ried her high school sweat-
heart, Norman Johnsen, in
1957. He preceded her in
death in 2018. They had
been married 61 wonderful
years.
While Norman began
his career as a commercial
fi sherman, Beanie chose to
stay home to raise their two
daughters.
Beanie was active with
the girls’ lives in school,
PTA, sports, piano lessons,
4-H and all of the activities
they were involved in. She
later worked for the War-
renton School District and
Costco.
Beanie loved to cook,
garden, sew, read and craft.
Although she was not of
Norwegian heritage, she
loved to cook Norman’s
favorite Scandinavian foods!
She was a member of
the Warrenton Methodist
church, Beta Sigma Phi,
Scene at 741 Seventh Ave. after a two-alarm blaze that
took the life of the home’s sole occupant.
Police are working to
establish a detailed timeline
of a New Year’s Day fi re
that took the life of a Sea-
side woman.
Bonnie Bentley Dasse,
69, was the sole occupant of
the two-story, single-family
home at 741 Seventh Ave.
Police arrived at the scene
moments after a 911 call at
4:57 p.m. and assisted fi re-
fi ghters with the investiga-
tion. Detectives are looking
for anyone who witnessed
the fi re or has been given
information from someone
who did.
People with informa-
tion can contact Detective
William Barnes or Detec-
tive Sgt. Josh Gregory at
503-738-6311.
