Bryan Forrest Peters (Forrest after his beloved grandfather) was born February 8, 1969 to Bill and Forest Peters in The Dalles, Oregon.  He grew up in Sherman County, and graduated from Sherman County High School.  While a student there, he was a member of Sherman FFA, Band and lettered in Football, Basketball and Baseball.  He was student body vice president in 1986 and student body president his senior year.  Bryan attended Oregon State University and was a member of Alpha Gamma Rho Fraternity, where he served as vice president for two years.  He was also a member of the OSU Rugby Team.  He graduated in 1992 with a degree in Agricultural Resource Economics.

     After graduation, Bryan moved home to farm with his dad until Bill’s passing in 1993. He continued to farm with his mother and brother and together they formed Peters Ranches.  He married Heather Williams in 1997 and they had two children Delaney and Garrett. 

     Bryan loved music and as he would tell you “I was a drummer in a rock ‘n roll band”.  He was very active in the Sherman County community.  He umpired, refereed, coached, was the “voice of the Huskies Football Team”, served on the weed board and acted in many of the Barnstormer Theater plays, all the while rarely missing any of his children’s events.  He was a lifelong Oregon State Beaver Fan and a highlight for him was taking his kids to see the Beavers win the 2018 College World Series in Omaha. 

     He leaves behind his children, Delaney Marie and James Garrett; brother, Scott (Kari); nieces, Kaelex and Kiara; aunt, Sallie Albright; uncles, Nick and Jim Peters; mother, Forest.

     Joseph Clarence Zitzelberger, 82, of The Dalles Oregon, passed away Sunday, January 10, 2021 at his home surrounded by his family.

     He was born September 27th, 1938 in Madison Wisconsin to Fred and Hazel (Hanson) Zitzelberger.  The family moved to Colby Kansas, Shoup Idaho, then settled in Lewiston Idaho where he graduated from Lewiston High school in 1955.

     After graduating and at the young age of 17, Joe joined the US Air Force with the required approval from his father.  He and his wife, Hazel Pollock, met at a 1957 Air Force Dance that was hosted by the Civil Air Patrol where Hazel served as a CAP cadet. They married on February 27th, 1960 and celebrated a life of 46 years and 8 months together.

     In 1960 Joe gained employment at Harvey’s Aluminum plant in The Dalles.  He lived in his truck for a few months until he could afford a modest home and bring Hazel to The Dalles.  Joe’s work began on the smelting pot line until he earned his electrician’s license from an apprentice program. He remained one of the aluminum plant’s main electricians throughout his years and changes the plant went through.

     While working full time and growing his family, Joe enlisted in the Air Force reserves for 8 years.  Later, in 1985 and at the age of 47, he joined the Air National Guard Reserves.  He retired from the guards in 1997 having served his country for 24 years.  In March 2015 at 76 years old Joe retired from the plant, which was then called Northwest Aluminum Specialties.

      After raising four children, Joe and Hazel enjoyed their time together dancing with the Swap & Swing Square Dance club in The Dalles. Joe preferred his downtime at home; however, Hazel was involved in many different community events and Joe was by her side to support her anyway he could, from setting up for the cancer society walk/run events to parades and joining in with her jam group at the Cherry Park Grange.

     Patricia “Patty” Ann Johnson was born in Portland, Ore., on May 16, 1950, to parents William and Mary Johnson. She had one brother, Jerry Johnson, and married husband Perry Johnson.

     Patty grew up in east Portland and went to Glencoe Grade School in Portland, and Wilkes Grade School in Troutdale, Ore. She graduated from Reynolds High School in Troutdale and graduated from Oral Roberts University in 1972.

     Patty grew up in a loving Christian home, gave her life to the Lord and served him with her life. A giving, loving, caring sister who always put others first. She loved her dogs, always toy poodles, and was a master gardener. Her garden was no small thing to her, it was her refuge. Even after multiple back surgeries, she would still be in her garden.

     Patty moved to The Dalles in 1973 and worked at The Dalles General Hospital for more than 30 years. She and Perry had The Dalles Taxi Company for many years and used it to help whenever needed.

She went on a mission trip to Brazil in 2018 and couldn’t stop talking about it. She loved the people and they loved her. She had the biggest smile and was so happy. When she came back, she wanted to go back. Her health did not allow that to happen.

     Patty died on Jan. 30, 2021 at Lourdes Hospital in Pasco, Wash.

Marjory Claire Bush Foley

Aug. 12, 1930 – Jan. 14, 2021

Marjory Claire Bush Foley passed away in her home on Jan. 14, 2021 at the age of 90.  She was born in Kennewick, Washington August 12, 1930 to brighten up The Depression for her Dad and Mom, Clyde and Lois Gammon Bush and her sister, Clydene Bush.  Due to The Depression, her father lost his lumberyard managing job in Kennewick and the family moved to Portland where he managed small neighborhood grocery stores for three years.  When Marjory was five, they moved to Sisters where Clyde again managed a grocery store until he built his own store in 1939.

Life in Sisters was idyllic for kids in those early years when they could wander all over town or in the woods with no worries.  Many of Lois Bush’s relatives lived in Sisters at that time, including five of her aunts one uncle plus spouses, first cousins, and second cousins galore.  What a great and happy place to be!

            Marjory attended high school in Redmond and participated in many activities.  She was editor of the school paper and graduated in 1948 as class valedictorian.  She then attended the University of Oregon and again was active on the school paper, The Oregon Daily Emerald.  She was a member of Chi Omega Sorority and of Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society.

             In 1952 she graduated with an education degree and moved to The Dalles, OR to take a job teaching high school English.  She met her future husband, Thomas E. Foley and they were married on Oct 3, 1954.   Marjory focused her attention on raising 4 children and assisting Tom in running several local restaurants including the Hand Out and Spookys Pizza Parlor which they built in 1966.  She was a member of UCC Congregational Church and active in many volunteer organizations including: AAUW, Chapter BF of PEO, Campfire Girls, SMART and CGCC Foundation Scholarship Committee.

            She was known in the community for her warmth and generosity.  The Foley home was a welcoming place for neighborhood kids and groups to gather.

            In 1981 Marjory and Tom purchased a cherry orchard in The Dalles and in 1984 expanded the orchard to Dallesport WA.  In the orchard off seasons they enjoyed travel and took many cruises around the world.

            Marjory is survived by her husband of 66 years, Tom Foley, sons Tim (Wendy) of Hood River, Bill of White Salmon, John (Sheri) of Dallesport, and Annette Byers of The Dalles.  She had 3 grandsons: Clint Foley (Kelley) of Eugene, Grayson Byers (Shelby) of Stanfield and Tanner Byers of Bend and 3 great grandchildren: Dylan and Ruby Foley of Eugene and Hays Byers of Stanfield.

            The family wishes to extend their deep appreciation to Heart of Hospice and Bobbi’s Way for the great care and compassion they extended to Marjory and her family.  In lieu of flowers the family suggests donations be sent to the American Cancer Society or Heart of Hospice.

A celebration of life will be held at a future time.
