Anna Mattox

Services will be at Sandy Funeral Home in Sandy, Ore., on Wednesday, Sept. 8, at 11 a.m. with burial to follow at Cliffside cemetery near Sandy.
Anna May was born July 15, 1914, in Kearney, Neb., to Charles Oscar and Almeda Elizabeth (McElhinny) Caswell, the oldest of six children. She grew up on farms in Nebraska and Wyoming during the Great Depression years. She graduated from high school in Lingle, Wyo., where she not only lettered in girls' basketball, but her team took the state championship in 1933.
On April 14, 1934, she married
her sweetheart, Leland Leroy Mattox, in Gering, Neb. In 1935 due to the Dust Bowl in the Midwest, they moved with their parents and siblings to the Sandy, Ore. area where they lived for more than 30 years and raised their five children.
They spent the next 27 years in Richland, Wash. In 1994, following the deaths of her husband and her son Mike, Anna May moved to Seaview, Wash., to be near her children.
Anna May and Leland (Dutch) worked side by side throughout their lives. Anna May enjoyed being outdoors, camping and gardening. She also enjoyed being a homemaker, baking bread and cinnamon rolls, canning, quilting, and providing for her family.
Anna May was a spirited woman and strong moral character, having been the first convert at the then-new Sandy Baptist Chapel in 1946. She loved the power of both the written and spoken word, adding new words to her vocabulary throughout her lifetime. She was independent and witty, yet loving, kind and gracious to the end. Her 'spunky' sweet spirit lives on through her children and grandchildren.
On her final day, as her caregivers stopped by to express their love for her and to say their good-byes, it was evident that her passing would leave a void for them as well.
She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 57 years, son Michael, her parents, sister Doris, and brothers Ronald ('Red'), LeRoy and Charles, Jr. ('C.J') Caswell.
Survivors include a sister, Betty Jo Potter of La Center, Wash.; daughters Norma (Charles) Caba of Ilwaco, Wash., and Leila (Roger) DeHart of Parkdale, Ore.; sons Robert (Beverly) of Ilwaco, Wash., and Brent (Gail) of Ridgefield, Wash.
