Jon Robert Rea, age 80, passed away peacefully on March 10, 2026. He was born on January 30, 1946, in Champaign, Illinois, to Robert and Roberta Rea, who preceded him in death.

Jon lived a full and hardworking life. After completing one year of college, he proudly served his country in the United States Navy during the Vietnam War. Following his service, he built a career working for the City of The Dalles Water Department, where he was known for his dedication and reliability.

Jon found joy in life’s simple pleasures. He loved music and spent many hours playing the guitar. He also cherished time with his beloved dog, Lena, who brought him comfort and companionship.

He is survived by his loving wife, Lanora Rea, and his children: Loren Rea; Ian Rea of Arizona; Sabrina Poole; Rodger Poole; and Shawna Watson of Oregon.

Angeline Setters passed away peacefully in her sleep at The Dalles veterans’ home on March 18, 2026. She was born in Musselshell County in the city of Roundup Montana on August 11, 1933, to the parents of Kenneth and Caroline Strang. She was the eldest child followed by her sister, Julie Huffman, and Richard Strang.

Her family moved to the Portland Oregon area when she was very young as her father moved into the area and worked as a steam engineer. Angie was a very devoted Christian lady and at the age of 20 she went to the national workers training program and was certified to teach Sunday School.

As she got older and started to work, she had a roommate. Angie explained to us later that there were no minister available in Roseburg Oregon, where they resided because it was St. Patrick’s Day, so they found a minister in Washington State and the Reverend Howard C Cole married them.

Angie and her spouse wasted no time and started a family. Richard setters was the first born, following with Janice setters, Carol Setters, and Robin Setters. Angies husband Chester bought a small farm in Douglas County outside of Roseburg where Angie and her kids lived for a short time before moving to Troutdale, Oregon, where Chester got a job as a contractor building homes in Vancouver and Angie had the large responsibility of taking care of their children while he was at work.

Angies whole family were then facing life changing challenges due to the tragedy that happened on June 30, 1962, when Angie’s husband Chester was killed in a traffic accident. Angie never married and raised all her children on her own.

Angie had a very bad traffic accident in 1972. Her sister, Julie, had to come and stay with the children while she was recovering in the hospital. She came home later with a cast on both legs. She had lost her kneecaps and had therapy for quite some time to be able to walk normally again. In 1976 Angie and her children moved to Dufur Oregon, Dufur reminded Angie of her childhood memories in Montana. She then bought a restaurant right across the street from Dufur High School. She named the restaurant “Angie’s Place’ where all her children worked part time helping her out. Needless to say, it didn’t work out. Her and her children then moved to The Dalles Oregon, where most of them have lived since.

Angie worked in The Dalles at the salvation army where she was managing a apartment complex through Fadness Realty and worked at the Wasco County nursing home.

Angie’s sister, Julie Huffman, is the surviving member of her family. Angie had four children and seven grandchildren. She will be sorely missed; we know that she is with the lord now.

Jacqueline "Jackie" Marie McKinstry (nee Reid), age 53, passed away on February 16, 2026, in The Dalles, Oregon. Born on October 10, 1972, in The Dalles, Jackie spent her life deeply rooted in the community she loved.

Jackie's faith was an integral part of her life. Her ministry studies with the Mustard Seed Ministry and Rivers of Grace Church were a source of joy and inspiration to her. She loved music and worship, often singing with a heart full of devotion. Her faith guided her as a faithful servant to God, a loving wife to Daniel McKinstry Jr., and a devoted mother to Andrew Beard.

Family was at the center of Jackie's world. She is survived by her husband Daniel; her son Andrew; her sisters Anita Penn-Porter and Tina Patton; her brother Jim Reid; and her stepfather Bob Haberman. Jackie also leaves behind many nieces, nephews, cousins, grandchildren, and friends who will forever cherish their memories with her. She was preceded in death by her mother Dee Haberman and father Jack Reid.

Jackie had a passion for life that shone through in everything she did. She loved spending time with family and friends, cheering on the Seahawks, and sharing moments filled with laughter and love. Her warmth and loving spirit touched everyone she met, leaving an indelible mark on those fortunate enough to know her.

May Jackie's memory bring comfort to all who knew and loved her. A Memorial Service will be held on April 11, 2026, at 1:00 PM at Rivers of Grace Church, 1122 Oak Street. A dinner and fellowship time will follow the service. We gather not only to remember her life, but to rejoice in the hope we have in Christ. "Well done good and faithful servant" - Matthew 25:23. " To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord" - 2 Corinthians 5:8.

In Loving Memory of Rodney Allen Viers

A Life of Devotion, Kindness, and Unforgettable Memories

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Rodney Allen Viers on March 7, 2026, after a courageous battle with cancer. Rodney was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and friend whose unwavering dedication, humor, and compassion touched the lives of all who knew him. Surrounded by family and the love he so freely gave, Rodney left this world peacefully, leaving behind a legacy that will endure for generations.

 Early Life

Born in the warmth of a close-knit family, Rodney was raised by his loving parents, who instilled in him the values of hard work, kindness, and resilience. He spent his formative years exploring the wonders of his hometown, learning the importance of community and family, where he would plant the roots of his own family and forge lifelong friendships.

 Military Service

Rodney answered the call of duty when he was drafted into the United States Air Force. He served his country with honor and distinction, embodying the principles of integrity and selflessness. His years in the Air Force shaped his sense of responsibility and deepened his appreciation for camaraderie and service—values he would carry into every aspect of his life.

Family

A devoted family man, Rodney found his greatest joy in the love and laughter of his home. Rodney was married to Virginia Ray Coffield in 1962 and the two later divorced in 1980. Rodney shares his three older children with Virginia. Rodney later married Clarissa “Francine” Wiese in 1988; Rodney shares his younger two children with Francine. 

Rodney was a proud father to his children, each of whom inherited his wit, warmth, and steadfastness. His family grew to include cherished grandchildren and great-grandchildren, all of whom adored their grandpa for his boundless stories, gentle guidance, and unwavering support.

Rodney’s family circle also included beloved stepsister, with whom he shared countless memories and a bond that only grew stronger through the years. The Viers family’s closeness was a testament to Rodney’s commitment to nurturing relationships, offering a helping hand, and celebrating every milestone—never missing a birthday or special occasion.

 Rodney is survived by his beloved children Mundee Ray Viers (daughter Mandee Ray, her husband Robert and their children Zachary, Allyson, Lexus, Brooke, Addisyn, and Jensen); Burton Dean Viers and his two children Chelsea and Corbin; Tamera Lynn Viers and her two children Jacob and Savannah; Joshua O’Connor Viers (married to Sherry) and his four children Pj, Bryson, Chris, and Ally; Jeremiah Kirkpatrick Viers (married to Kira) and their four children Trayton, Amaya, Savannah, and Ava; his step-sister Pat Overton as well as many nieces, nephews, and dear friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, Helen Grace Connor and George “Dutch” Ellsworth as well as his siblings Lois (Viers) Swanson, John Burton Ellsworth, and Piper (Ellsworth) Frakes. 

Rodney’s life was a remarkable journey of service, compassion, and love. Though he will be greatly missed, his legacy will live on in the hearts of those he touched and in the countless acts of kindness he inspired. May his memory be a blessing to all.

 Personal Life and Interests

Rodney’s zest for life was evident in his many hobbies and interests. An avid outdoorsman, he found solace in the beauty of nature, whether he was fishing on a quiet morning, panning for gold in a mountain stream, or working on his latest home improvement project. Rodney’s resourcefulness and creativity shone through in everything he did. He delighted in caring for raccoons and other wildlife, often becoming their trusted caretaker, and was always eager to share his adventures with family and friends.

Known for his quick wit and unique sense of humor, Rodney could light up any room. He was the person you called for help with a project, a listening ear, or a good laugh. His generosity extended beyond his immediate circle; Rodney was a steadfast supporter of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, reflecting his deep compassion and desire to make a positive impact on the world.

 Character and Legacy

Rodney’s spirit was defined by dedication, helpfulness, and unwavering love for his family. He was a caretaker in every sense—tending to those in need, especially in the final years as he lovingly cared for his wife. Even as he faced his own health challenges, Rodney’s concern was always for others. His recent birthday was a joyful celebration, surrounded by those whose lives he enriched.

Rodney’s legacy is one of kindness, loyalty, and laughter. He taught by example, showing that life’s greatest treasures are found in simple acts of love and selflessness. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know him.

 Final Years and Passing

Rodney faced his battle with cancer with the same courage and grace that defined his life. His strength, optimism, and enduring hope were an inspiration to all who witnessed his journey. Though he is no longer with us, Rodney’s love remains a guiding light for his family and friends.

 In Lieu of Flowers

The family requests that donations be made in Rodney’s honor to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, a cause close to his heart, so that his legacy of giving may continue to shine. A celebration of life will be held at a later date, still to be determined. 

 With Gratitude and Remembrance

We extend our deepest gratitude to all who offered support, love, and friendship to Rodney and his family. As we remember and celebrate his remarkable life, may we carry forward his spirit of generosity, resilience, and joy. Rodney Allen Viers will be forever missed, lovingly remembered, and always cherished.

Just three months after meeting, they were sealed in the Los Angeles Temple and began their life together. Soon after, they relocated to The Dalles, Oregon, where they raised their family.

Myrna dedicated her life to her family as a devoted homemaker and mother. She took great pride in creating a welcoming home and raising her children with love, faith, and strong values.

As a grandmother, she treasured each of her grandchildren and found great joy in being part of their lives. She rarely missed a birthday, celebrated their milestones, and was always ready to offer love, support, and guidance.

In her final days, she continued asking about each of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren by name. Her final request was simply that her family be told how much she loved them. Surrounded by that love, she peacefully returned to her Heavenly Father.

Myrna was preceded in death by her beloved daughter, Kristine and her son Steven. She is survived by her loving children, Richard Kirchgestner, Debra Carter (Jim Carter), and Robert Kirchgestner (Nicole Kirchgestner).

In Loving Memory of Kathleen Sawaka January 31, 1935 – February 23, 2026 "My time is in your hands.." Psalm 31:15

Kathleen Sawaka, beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully on February 23, 2026, surrounded by her loving family. Having fought the good fight to the very end, she now rests in the arms of her Heavenly Father.

Kathleen was born on January 31, 1935, in Seattle, Washington, to Francis Russell and Julianna Krull. She was the eldest of three siblings. She was preceded in death by her brother, Robert Krull, and is survived by her sister, Carol Steinman, along with three nieces and two nephews.

She graduated from Holy Mary’s Academy in Seattle and began her working life with “Ma Bell” in Seattle as a young woman. Throughout her life, Kathleen held many positions that reflected her determination and strong work ethic — waitress, bank teller, secretary for Wasco County in The Dalles, Oregon, and for various law offices and businesses. In the mid-1970s, she worked for Boeing Computer Services in Portland, Oregon. Later, after returning to The Dalles, she began working for Union Pacific Railroad. Starting as a janitor, she worked her way up through dedication and perseverance to timekeeper, crew dispatcher, and ultimately management before retiring. Her journey was a testament to her resilience and strength.

Kathleen was the proud mother of four children. She was preceded in death by her beloved son, Donald Good Jr., and her great-grandson. She is survived by her daughters: Elizabeth Hernandez, Christine Good, and Rosemarie Good. She leaves behind five grandchildren — Heather Webber, Amber Webber, Racheal Perry, Corie Coggins, and Jonathan Good — as well as fifteen great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren who carry forward her legacy of love.

Throughout her life, Kathleen traveled extensively. As the wife of military servicemen, she journeyed across the country with her family. Later, through her connection with Union Pacific Railroad, she continued to explore. In retirement, she delighted in visiting places she had not seen as a young woman. Her favorite destination was Ireland, which held a special place in her heart.

She devoted time to volunteering at Martha & Mary in Poulsbo, Washington, and served as an ombudsman, offering support and compassion to others. She loved her country deeply and cherished the values it stood for.

Kathleen adored her many pets over the years. Her final beloved companion, her cat Precious, was faithfully by her side, often resting on her lap.

She found joy in simple and meaningful pleasures. She loved playing cards — especially Nerts — which became a cherished way to spend one-on-one time with her children. In later years, Friday night card games with her daughters and friends were something she eagerly anticipated. She loved to dance and tried to teach her children to dance as well. She delighted in tongue twisters and had a playful spirit.

Kathleen was also an avid doll collector. She first collected Joseph Originals and later filled rooms with specialty baby dolls, surrounding herself with beauty and nostalgia.

Above all, Kathleen loved being surrounded by her family. Her greatest dream was to have her loved ones gathered close around her — and nothing brought her more joy than seeing generations together at her feet. She was a woman of strength, grace, deep faith, and unwavering love. She leaves behind a living legacy of beauty, resilience, and devotion to family.

She will be dearly missed by her daughters, grandchildren, and generations to come, but her light and love will continue to shine in the hearts of all who knew her.

A Blessing of the grave will take place at St. Peter’s Cemetery next to the church on Friday, March 13th at 10:00 a.m. Following the grave side Blessing family and friends are welcome to come share their stories/memories at Mom’s house 750 Division Street, #239 The Dalles, Oregon.

She loved horses, Louis L’Amour books, sunbathing, and Elvis Presley. She was never happier than reading a book outside on a warm day.

Janice is survived by her devoted husband of 52 years, John Crompton; her daughters, Erin Spitzer, Katherine Curbello, and Sylvia John Crompton; her brother, James Barnett; her grandchildren, Amber Chambers, Audra Crawford, David Pemberton, and Andrea Pemberton; and her great-grandchildren, Jason Crawford, Jana Marie Crawford, and Mikayla Chambers.
