Obituary: Mary Ann (Moore) Patterson, 91, Hood River

Mary Ann (Moore) Patterson died peacefully, surrounded by the love of family and friends, on February 25th, 2023. She was one month shy of her 91st birthday. Heaven will now be a bit happier and the world a bit sadder.

Mary was the youngest of four children born to John Moore and Mae (Camp) Moore. John was raised in Hood River and Mae in Mosier. As a youngster she was considered a bit of a tomboy, interested in many sports and outdoor activities. She attended Barrett School. At 18, she climbed Mt. Hood which turned out somewhat symbolic of the adventures to come in her life. She graduated from Hood River High School (now HR Middle School) in 1950, where she met and later married classmate James Patterson.

Always cheerful and upbeat, they raised a family of 6 at a home they built on the corner of Tucker and Orchard Roads. Family life was happy and busy. Camping trips, hunting/fishing, baseball games, hiking, skiing, huckleberry picking and extended family gatherings were all regular occurrences. Picnic trips to Lost Lake including a hike up to the lookout was a family favorite.

After the kids were grown, Mary and Jim enjoyed road trips and traveling with special friends Paul and Frances (sister) Henne and Mike and Pat Fowler. After Jim died in 2009, Mary enjoyed a special friendship with Richard (Dick) Clarke.

Since the children live away from Hood River, we would like to acknowledge and thank all of those who loved and helped her in her later years. Special thanks to the Henne Family, Dick Clarke, the staff at Parkhurst Place and Hospice caregivers.

Mary’s legacy includes four children: Mark (Beth), Robert (Olivia), Kathy Buendgen (Mike), and Craig (Colleen). It also includes nine grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. We all feel extremely fortunate to have had Mary as our Mother all of these years. We miss her already.

In lieu of flowers, please contribute to your favorite organization in memory of Mary Ann Patterson.

Mary spent her entire life in Hood River, devoting her time to family and church. She, as were her parents, was a lifelong member of the Hood River Valley Christian Church where she was quite active in Women’s Fellowship, youth programs and the quilting circle.”

A service will be held at the Hood River Valley Christian Church (975 Indian Creek Rd, Hood River, OR 97031) on Wednesday, March 1, at 1:00 p.m.

Obituary: Sandra Kay (Haynes) Harmon, 80, The Dalles

Sandra Kay (Haynes) Harmon passed away at home in The Dalles, Oregon on February 9, 2023, at the age of 80 after a hard-fought battle with cancer.

Sandra was born in East Rainelle, West Virginia on January 3, 1943, to Joseph and Mary Haynes.  When she was just 6 months old, the family moved out to the west coast, stopping in Vancouver, Washington for a short time, before finally settling in The Dalles.  Sandra attended elementary through high school in District 12, graduating from The Dalles High School in 1961.

They started a family with the birth of daughter Kristen in 1966, daughter Andrea was born in 1975, and son Dannie was born in 1977.

Throughout her life, Sandra worked as a telephone operator, a beautician, a Luhr Jensen sewing machine operator, an in-home caregiver, and an Albertson’s grocery clerk. Above all,  her favorite “job” was being a beloved grandma to her four grandchildren.

When she was not spending time with her grandchildren and other family members, she loved to read, sew, and work on puzzle books.

She is preceded in death by her father Joseph R Haynes, mother Mary E Haynes-Erck, stepfather Edward Erck, brothers Joseph and William Haynes, and her ex-husband Dannie L Harmon.

Sandra is survived by her children: daughter Kristen Harmon, daughter Andrea Trujillo (Roland), son Dannie Harmon II (Diana), her siblings: brother Harold Haynes (Judy), sister Elizabeth Zeigler (Twig), brother David Haynes (Tina), 4 grandchildren and various aunts, uncles, cousins, and other extended family members.
