She was born Feb. 13, 1963 to Merwyn and Linda Roberts in Toledo. She attended Taconic Hills High School in Clavrack, N.Y. She lived in Toledo and was proud of becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant. She was employed by Shangri-la and worked as a medical aid for the Benton House for the past four years. She was devoted to her patients and always strived to provide them with the best care. Her greatest accomplishment in her life was her children, Justin, Randy Jr., Adam and Angel. Justin, her eldest son, served in the U.S. Army for four and a half years and did two tours in Iraq. She fully embraced becoming an army mom. And Randy Jr. and Adam, her twin boys; and her daughter, Angel, have all made her life even more wonderful than she could have ever imagined. She was baptized and raised in the Lutheran Church. As a cervical cancer survivor, she believed that it was important to raise awareness and show support, not only to those afflicted with disease, but also to all of the friends and families who have been affected by it. For the past two years, she participated in the Relay for Life. Growing up on a farm in upstate New York inspired her to begin a collection of cows, which influenced the décor of her home. She always had a keen eye and was able to make the simplest thing a work of art, whether it was arranging flowers for her friends’ weddings or home, sewing or crocheting beautiful scarves, blankets and purses. Her main priority in life was her family. She was preceded in death by her mother, Linda Marie Roberts; and her granddaughter, Faith Jade Cleveland. She is survived by her children, Justin (Kaira) Cleveland of Vancouver, Wash., Randy Jr. and Adam Cleveland of New York, and Angel Parker of Toledo, Ore.; brother, Ronald Roberts of Florida; father, Merwyn Roberts of Toledo; and uncles, Steve and Jerry Roberts, both of Toledo. A celebration of life will be at 2 p.m. Saturday, March 13 at her home, 392 SE Third St. in Toledo. Affordable Burial and Cremation in Newport is handling arrangements.

Editor of News Times REQUIEM FOR A LADY The F/V Helen McColl lolls at the old log ramp near the Port of Newport's International Terminal. A salvage crew raised her from the bottom of Yaquina Bay at the port's commercial docks and transported her to this site to await scrapping. Local fishermen mourn the wooden boat's demise after 99 years of service. (Photo by Terry Dillman--attached) (This is information printed beneath the photo of the boat.) News Article Following: FISHERMEN MOURN LOSS OF F/V HELEN MC COLL A one-of-a-kind New England fishing vessel that for decades plied the Pacific Ocean for albacore tuna and salmon awaits an ignominious end after a salvage team hoisted her from a watery grave at the Port of Newport's commercial docks last week, then transported her to and beached her on the far side of the International Terminal. Port of Newport officials, who claimed the vessel as abandoned, said they plan to scrap the 65-foot F/V Helen McColl, salvaging what they can from the 99-year-old vessel's wooden body and bones. Built in Maine in 1911, the once-proud schooner began her career during the halcyon days of the Atlantic cod, herring and sardine industries. When European fishermen reached the stretch of the Atlantic Ocean off what is now Cape Cod, schools of fish churned the waters, most notably cod. New England's fleet of wooden schooners - especially those out of Boston and Gloucester - earned world renown, and by 1900, the Maine coast bristled with canneries, wharfs, and schooners. The Helen McColl joined the fleet that plied the offshore waters and helped haul in the fish that provided the backbone of Maine coastal community economies. >From east to west Veteran local fisherman George Morford brought the schooner to the Pacific coast in 1974. While cod is king in the Atlantic, salmon is king in the Pacific, so Morford pursued mostly salmon, along with a few other species, through the years. Both cod and salmon have floundered through up-and-down cycles, ever-tightening regulation, and recent commercial season shutdowns. Reductions and shutdowns idled Morford and the Helen McColl for much of the past four years, and she sank at the dock on Nov. 1, 2009. Investigators from U.S. Coast Guard Sector Portland worked with local contractors to remove diesel fuel from the water and the boat. They also called in Portland-based Fred Devine Diving & Salvage Company to try to re-float the boat, but halted the operation three days later, saying federal funding and responsibility ended with the fuel spill clean-up. After spending $70,000 and - some observers say - being on the verge of bringing the vessel up, they left it on the bottom, which vexed local officials and especially local fishermen. Port officials said Morford had no insurance and could not fund a salvage operation. They said attempts to contact the weathered fisherman had failed, and in January, they took legal steps to declare the vessel abandoned. Last Thursday, they launched a salvage operation using a barge-mounted crane already in the bay for the NOAA homeport project, along with two local tugboats, to lift and transport the Helen McColl. Held tight to the barge by straps, she made her final journey across Yaquina Bay to the old log ramp beyond the port's International Terminal site, where she awaits the end of her days, just a year shy of a century of service. Requiem A few fishermen were among a small group of observers who watched the Helen McColl's final journey on the rain-soaked morning of Feb. 26. Christopher Rampley, skipper of the F/V Henrietta W, a classic wooden Pacific Northwest salmon troller built in 1937, took photos as he glumly watched the salvage crew drag the weathered lady aground. He later posted photos and comments on The Wooden Boat Forum (www.woodenboat.com/forum), an online site open to all discussion about wooden boats and related topics. The Helen McColl, he noted, is waiting "to go the way of all things," but she didn't go quietly. "They tried to haul her up on to the hard (ground), but the 9-foot tall Sampson timber (the strong post used for attaching lines) flew out of the hull, and she stayed stubbornly in the drink," Rampley wrote. "I guess 99 years in the salt water doesn't give up too easily." Others agreed. One, who identified himself as Morford's son-in-law, talked about fishing aboard the Helen McColl 30 years ago, plying the waves from Cape Flattery to the California line for several seasons. He called the boat's demise "a sad ending," noting "it would have been better if she had sprung a plank offshore, and settled into the Pacific as George watched from the deck of another boat." Rampley was clearly unhappy about the way the Coast Guard handled the situation, saying that federal officials would not allow Morford to make arrangements to bring her up, then after bringing in a salvage outfit and on the verge of raising her, "declared they were out of money and sent everybody home." He compared it to "taking someone in tow, then cutting the cable halfway through the trip." Rampley offered this benediction for the bedraggled lady, her skipper, and all others who love a sturdy boat, a steady breeze, sailing out upon the seas. "Our thoughts are with the Helen McColl, George Morford, and all the other fishermen who have sailed her for the past five generations, east and west coast, and for all the fish that have graced her hold."

A genuine highlight in Paul's life was an article about him, kicksleds and racing, profiled by Associated Press writer Dan Joling, that was picked by many newspapers around the U.S. in the spring of 2004. He died holding hands with his best friend of 21 years, Jared Minkler. Teresa Werner, his former wife of 20 years and mother of his children, was attentive to his needs during the months preceding his death. He had only kind words for the VA. His sense of humor was sometimes misunderstood, however, he was easily able to see his own faults and find humor in them. Paul is survived by Werner; children Wesley Wade-Theodore, Wyatt Will-Simon and Hetta O'Della-Susan Quade, all of Kenai; sisters and brothers, Andrea Zimmerman of Yuma, Ariz., Neil Quade of Lincoln City, Harlan Quade of Newport, Arthur Quade of Rose Lodge, Brian Quade of Waldport, and Janice Erickson of Swisshome, Ore.; and numerous nieces and nephews throughout Oregon. He was preceded in death by his parents, Ted and Della, sister Joanne Quade, sister-in-law, Dina, and niece, Susan Quade. Private services will be held at a later date. Condolences may be sent to P.O. Box 1544 Kenai, AK 99611 and P.O. Box 235 Swisshome, OR 97480. Arrangements were made by Peninsula Memorial Chapel in Kenai.

She was born Nov. 18, 1920 to George and Lillian Reynolds in Portland. She was referred to as Mary Beth by many who knew her. As a young girl, she loved to play the piano, read, sew and cook. Her participation in the Rainbow Girl Program taught her the joys of helping others through charity work and arts and crafts. In high school, she met Donald R. Wilson, and they were married prior to World War II in 1943. Her husband joined the Air Force and served as a pilot. During that time, she enrolled in nursing school to ultimately give back to others in need. She and her husband started their family after the war, and she gave birth to daughter, Claudia and son, Dee. Her family ultimately grew to include three grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. In addition to being a mother, she also found great purpose in life as a nurse, where she helped provide for her family as well as tend to the care of those suffering in hospitals. She continued helping others in need as a social worker in public health. She was fond of the cool coastal weather, and they opted to retire in Lincoln City. She and Donald purchased the Lancer Street House in 1990 and her husband customized the kitchen for her so that she could cook with ease. She loved the Lancer Street House and lived there until her death surrounded by her family and loyal neighbors. She is survived by her sister, Anne (Reynolds) Leo. A memorial service was held Feb. 19 at her home. Affordable Burial and Cremation in Lincoln City is handling arrangements.
