Death Notice: Charlott Jones

Charlott was born in Hood River, OR on March 16th 1942 to Harold M. Wells & Wanda I. (Croan). She grew up on her family's fruit ranch in Pine Grove OR., surrounded by close and extended family. She was the oldest of 3 children having 2 younger brothers: Forrest & Bernie.

Growing up her family was very active in outdoor activities and family was very important to them. Spending time in the outdoors was a requirement and there was established a love for Mt. Hood in all their hearts to this day.

On October 5th 1964, Charlott married Richard Dale Jones Jr. The couple lived in Seattle, WA., as well as Hayward CA. before settling in Sherwood, Or., in 1969. The couple welcomed their only child, a daughter they named Jennapher “Janae" on July 23, 1979.

In Sherwood, Charlott worked as a Journeyman checker at the local grocery store (Food Pavillion/Zupans) she also worked for years and years at the Old Mill Flower Studio, which is where she learned her amazing love and talent for flowers. Charlott was always involved with community or church events, or events with Jenna's school or the American Legion which allowed her to make many lifelong friends. In 1989, Dick was diagnosed with cancer and after a short battle, he passed away that November.

Charlott remained in Sherwood until 1994 when she returned to her beloved Hood River Valley. Upon returning, she began packing fruit at her relative's packing house (Walter Wells & Sons). She eventually stopped packing and began working winters at Cooper Spur Ski Area running the "snack bar". She thoroughly enjoyed that and enjoyed watching all the kids grow up over the years. Her final and possibly favorite job was working in the farm stand and being the florist for The Gorge White House with Camille Hukari & Jerry Tausend.

Charlott loved to travel and was able to go on a trip to Austria with Jerry & Camille, and that was a highlight of her life. She was also very proud of the 2 solo trips she took back to Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland and NC to chase her love of Civil War history as well as family history. Charlott's passion was genealogy and history, if anyone needed to know something she was a go-to person. She was very involved online with family history and other history groups. She was a daily commentator on the "Hood River History" page.

Charlott adored working in her garden, making gorgeous counted cross stitch, crafting just about anything, watching Nascar and football. Patrick Mahomes was "Her boy"!

Charlott went to heaven to be with all her family that went before her on May 14th 2021 Jenna was by her side at the time of her passing.

Charlott is survived by her daughter Jennapher "Jenna" Jones of Hood River, OR, Her adopted daughter Kelly Mellinger and her family of Sherwood, OR, 2 brothers Forrest (Laurel) Wells of Keizer, OR, Bernie (Carol) Wells of Hood River, OR, Sister-in-Law Ellen Anthony of Hood River, OR. as well as 5 Nieces and Nephews and several Great Nieces. She was "Nonni" to Kelly's 2 children Clara & Avery and Kenneth Lamb.
She has left an enormous hole in our hearts and will be greatly missed, but we know she is in Heaven surrounded by God's most beautiful gardens.

Obituary: Ronald Vern "Ron" Gilbert

Ronald Vern "Ron" Gilbert of Hood River, Oregon went to be with Our Lord Jesus May 6, 2021 at Portland Providence Medical Center after a brief illness.

Ron was born to Clifford Gilbert and Violet May Silence on May 7, 1936 in Tarkio, Missouri. He was their first child. He had one brother Donald who preceded him in death. Ron led a nomadic life as a child with his parents following the crops. He said if he ever stayed in one place, he was growing roots and staying. That ended up being Parkdale, Oregon with his grandfather Henry Vern. Ron was raised in Parkdale and worked for 42 years for Diamond Fruit Growers in multiple positions.

In 1956 Ron met Delores Hubbell and she was the love of his life for 64 years. To this union they had 2 children Sandra Belcher and Russell (Patti) Gilbert. The family eventually settled on Quinn Drive in Parkdale on a small pear farm which he and Delores farmed until 2010. As they grew older they moved closer to Hood River to be near family. Ron had a deep faith in God. He was very active in the Mt. Hood Assembly of God Church and later River of Life Assembly of God. He was a member of the Odell Fire Department and later Parkdale Fire Department for 35 years and in later years serving on the board in Parkdale. He was an avid fisherman and in his earlier years enjoyed hunting. A love he passed on to his son and grandsons. He was Assistant Scout Master for Troop 380 for his son Russ and was there to see him obtain his Eagle Scout. When the family took long trips, Delores would fall asleep and Sandy was his co­pilot and fellow musician.

Ron was blessed with 4 grandsons Shay and Jeremy (Anna) Belcher and Ryley and Lucas Gilbert. They were also gifted with 8 great grandchildren Ashton, Greylin, Jevan and Bryden Belcher (Shay). Bella, Lou, Havana and Journey Belcher (Jeremy). Taking his grandsons on fishing adventures was a highlight for Ron. Spending time teaching and loving his greats was one of his favorite things. He loved to plant and grow potatoes, tomatoes and cucumbers. You could always count on coming home with a handful if you were by the house in the summer time.

One of Ron's favorite things was the Hubbell family reunion. Every Memorial Day he looked forward to getting together with the numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. Ron is survived by his wife Delores, children Sandra and Russell, grandsons, great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. His kind smile, quick wit and a piece of candy tucked in his shirt pocket when a great grandchild was around will be greatly missed.

A Celebration of Life will be held May 29, 2021 at 11:00 am at River of Life Assembly in Hood River with reception following. Viewing will be May 10th and 11th from 12:00- 5:00 pm.
