Garner, 62, of Lincoln City, Ore., died June 7, 2010. She was born Aug. 7, 1947 in Portland. She graduated from Madison High School in 1965. She completed her Bachelor of Science degree at Portland State University in 1981, a degree she earned while working full-time and going to night school. She worked within the Multnomah County District and Circuit Court system from July 1970 to March 1988. She ended her career as a court operations manager. She was a valued and loyal employee. She was a personal friend to several judges, a host of attorneys, and to most, if not all of her co-workers. Long after she'd left the court, she still counted among her closest circle of friends those she'd made while working within the Multnomah County District and Circuit Court systems. She worked at Allstate as an insurance agent with her husband, Frank, from 1988 until she retired in 1996. She cared for her mother after a stroke from 1987 until her passing in 1993. In 1991, she bought a beach house, and she moved from Portland to Lincoln City in 1996. She had many friends she'd made wherever she was in life. She was no stranger to heartbreak and bitter struggles, but was always able to find something for which to be grateful, or something to laugh about. She valued people from every walk of life and would give to others even if it meant she had to go without. She loved spending holidays with her family and friends. Her passions in life were planting flowers, reading books, watching movies with loved ones and discussing politics. She is survived by her children, Elizabeth Haroldson and Garth Garner, and grandchildren, Mikel, Chance, Desiree, and Kyra. Pacific View Memorial Chapel in Lincoln City is handling arrangements.
