Kaye Christine Whipple was born on December 31, 1946 in Portland, Oregon to Geraldine and Thomas L. Whipple. She passed away on March 13, 2020 at the age of 73, surrounded by her family. She was preceded in death by her father when she was only 4 years old, and eventually her mother remarried Harold Engberg, who she loved and called “dad”. Kaye grew up an only child in Wasco, Oregon, and graduated from Sherman High School in 1964. She received her Associate’s Degree from Eastern Oregon State College, and married Joseph Burgett in 1967. They raised a family, which includes Steven, Marcy, and Jodie in Arlington, Oregon and then later, Dufur, Oregon where the lived for many years.
Her children have been blessed with so many amazing memories of time spent with grandparents, family vacations in the motorhome, holiday traditions, and dinnertime around the table. Kaye spent many years watching her kids’ sporting events and supporting their many activities, while working at Oregon Bank, and then, Mid-Columbia Vision Center where she was the Office Manager for over 20 years.
She truly enjoyed spending time with her friends and family, playing pinochle with her club, shopping with her girls, and sipping Coors Light and sharing conversations. In 1996, she married Harvey Prouty and they’ve resided in The Dalles for over 25 years. They enjoyed going to Palm Desert for the winters, gardening, traveling, and spending time with their friends and “Kitty Cat”.
Kaye spent the last two years battling cancer and handled it like a “champ”. Her fun, positive attitude and sense of humor shined through, like her beautiful smile. When asked by her kids how she wanted to spend her final weeks, she requested “lots of parties”. And that is exactly what we did.
Kaye was preceded in death by her mother and father, Geraldine & Harold Engberg, her biological father, Thomas L. Whipple; and her best friend, Penny Gronquist.
She is survived by her husband, Harvey Prouty; her children, Steven Burgett and wife Monica, Marcy Bales and husband Justin, and Jodie Clapham and husband Jason; step-children, Stan Prouty, Stephanie Ryan and husband Chris; her grandchildren, Kolbe and Cooper Bales, Hayden and Kennedy Clapham, Marshall Thompson, Caitlyn Rivas, and Jessica Canady; and five great grandchildren, Bayli, Jersey, Cruz, Adeline, and Lincoln.

Raul John Soria passed away peacefully of natural causes at his home where he was surrounded by his family.
Raul was a kind and loving man who gathered friends everywhere he went. He excelled in everything he did and was highly respected by his family, friends, peers and colleagues.
He had such a verve for life that not only could be seen by his many, many interests, but was also felt by all the lives and hearts he touched.
Raul's experiences throughout life often seemed like a well written adventure novel. His stories enlightened us by way of his humor and wisdom. He did his first Tour of Duty in the Navy where he was an Aviation Loadmaster, followed by a Tour of Duty in the Army as an Intelligence Analyst.
Raul's career as a Barber spanned over 44 years and his Barber shop was a place of groom and friendship. His dedication to the Knights of Columbus earned him a 4th degree Knight status. And, his love of the waters led him to the Power Squadrons where he achieved the title of Commander.
Raul loved boating and skiing, whether it be on the water or on the slopes. He loved camping with his family as well as, enjoying hunting and deep-sea fishing which were all either weekend jaunts or lengthy family vacations.
Raul is survived by his wife Loretta, his four children, Gene Soria, Randy Soria, Leslie Cazamira and Denise Soria, six grandchildren and ten great grandchildren.
We loved him, and he loved us, and we are forever grateful.
Mass will be said 1:30 PM, March 20, 2020 at Sacred Heart Church, 3910 SE 11th Avenue, Portland, Oregon where Raul attended Grade School.
