She was buried June 15th with a small family gathering at graveside in Ashland, OR on June 15, 2013. Born June 8, 1937, she was the daughter of William H. Johnson and Ella G.

Laurie had interests in music and was an apt student, graduating as valedictorian from Minot Model High School in 1955. She inherited an avid interest in politics, devouring news in whatever form was presented. She chose medical technology as an occupation and left Minot in 1957 after attending Minot State Teacher’s College to study in Portland Oregon. While in training at St. Vincent Hospital in Portland, Oregon she met her future husband, Glen, who was a medical student working part time at that hospital. They worked together for two years before Glen saw the light and asked her to be his wife. She offered no opposition to the proposal and they were married
at Mt. Scott Park Presbyterian Church on June 14, 1959, two days after he graduated from Oregon Health Sciences University.
Laurie was employed as a medical technologist during the early years of her marriage, but her employment was interrupted by Glen’s assignments in various hospitals as an intern and resident. . After Glen completed training they lived in Denver, CO, and moved to Ashland, OR, in 1973. While there, Laurie completed her college education and obtained a bachelor’s degree at Southern Oregon University. . She was active in local politics in Ashland, campaigning for various office seekers, was a volunteer for “Meals on Wheels”, played golf with a lady’s group, was a member of “National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI)” of Southern Oregon.
Laurie and Glen chose to retire in Lincoln City, Oregon in 1998. They discovered travel after a trip to Malaysia where their son, Glen Curtis, was married
. Thereafter they traveled extensively to many countries in Europe, India, Africa, and Southeast Asia. Their favorite place to vacation, however, remained in the US. A yearly camping trip in Glacier National Park became mandatory. Last visit was to Lake Kintla, in northern Glacier National Park, in August of 2012.

Richard Lloyd Bly
Richard "Rick" Bly 62, formerly of Lincoln City, passed away May 10, 2013 of natural causes.
Rick was born July 19, 1950 to Ronald and Charlotte (Merry) Bly in Everett, WA. Shortly after his birth the family relocated to Florence, OR where Rick grew up and attended Siuslaw High School. After his graduation Rick joined the Army and was stationed in Korea and Germany. After his return Rick met Karen Dickinson and the two married
May 5, 1976. They would later divorce, but remained friends.
Over the years Rick worked many jobs, but he truly loved his years in the woods logging, and then being a chef at various local establishments. He couldn't wait to whip up some pasta alfredo, or fantastic seafood for anyone ready for a great meal.
In his free time he loved the chance to get outside where he enjoyed fishing, hunting, camping and tearing up the roadways. You could always hear him coming with his radio blasting some country tunes. He loved sports, and most of his conversations would end with a "Go Patriots!" or "Go Beavs!" He enjoyed putting a smile on anyone's face, he always had a goofy joke or a little tune to sing for any occasion. In his later years Rick set out for greener pastures and traveled around the country seeing some sights and having some fun. He had a great time enjoying his grandchildren and watching them grow.
Rick is survived by his 4 children and their spouses; Kyla Bly and Chris Willis, Katie and Ben Deremo, Lola Barber, and Jeremy Watts. Six grandchildren, his brother Ronald (Sheila) Bly, sisters, Janet (Brent) Langham, and Judy Jansen, many nieces, nephews and other family and friends. He was predeceased by his parents, brother Robert Bly, and grandson Connor Willis.

Robert (Jim) James Clarke
Nov 7, 1942 - Oct 4, 2013
Jim passed away in Sheridan, OR, on Oct. 4th after a five-year battle with Parkinsons Disease.
Jim was born in 11-7-1942, in Astoria Oregon. He spent his childhood in Portland, attending Grant High School. After graduating from high school he enlisted in the US Navy, and was in active service from 1961 to 1963. He was promoted to Signalman, on supply ship USS Regulus. He then served in the US Naval Reserves until 1967, and was honorably discharged. He took advantage of the GI Bill and graduated from Portland State University, with a BS in Humanities. He married
his high school sweetheart, Joyce Whittington on April 10, 1965, and they had a wonderful son, Brent Matthew Clarke. They later divorced. Jim had several jobs before purchasing the Rose Lodge Park Store, including working in the fly fishing department in Norm Thompson in Portland, and working for Travelers Insurance as a claims adjuster. Jim purchased the Rose Lodge Park Store in 1976, and remained owner and operator of the small convenience/gas station/ tackle store until about 2005. He met his future wife shortly after moving to Rose Lodge, and she opened Rose Lodge Feed Store in 1980. They spent 37 wonderful years together, mostly running the stores on a daily basis.
Jim loved the outdoors, camping, and especially fishing on the Salmon River. He was ahead of his time in now-common angling practices such as catch and release fishing, using barbless hooks, and generally being a proponent of responsible fishing. Unfortunately for some tourists, they found out the hard way that Jim did not condone catching and keeping of dark (spawning) fish.. He refused to weigh or take pictures of them when bringing them in. He was always on the salmon’s side! Jim was a common sight, along with his black labs, Toke, and later Coal, fishing well upriver from the Salmon River hatchery.
Jim is survived by his wife, Betsey Grieser-Clarke, son Brent Matthew Clarke (Jodie Throckmorton), two brothers, William D. (Twoey) Clarke, and T. Hunter Clarke. He has two lovely granddaughters, Rhaine and Rhiley Throckmorton Clarke. His parents, Robert and Peggy Clarke preceded him in death.
His family would like to thank special caregiver, Susan C. from Aging Wisely, Samaritan North Lincoln Home Health nurses, and the staff at Sheridan Care Center for his compassionate care when battling Parkinson’s disease.
