Wilma Joyce Graves Carver, 80, passed away peacefully May 2, 2014, after a short battle with colon cancer.

She began her long and notable life in Bend, on Dec. 8, 1933, born to Ruth Bradley Graves and Frank Graves. After returning to Silver Lake, Joyce’s family soon bought an 120 acre farm in Summer Lake, which included a dilapidated farm house without indoor plumbing and a lean-to for sleeping quarters. ‘

With a dream and confidence in their abilities, the family bought two buildings from Camp Abbott, now Sun River, hauled them south piece by piece and built the Summer Lake Lodge in 1946 across from the Summer Lake Wildlife Refuge.  Joyce worked alongside her parents in running the Lodge until she left home for college.

She attended the Ana River School, a one-room schoolhouse behind the Episcopal Church and Summer Lake Store, from grades one to eight, where most of her classmates were her cousins.   Participation in 4H brought fun and satisfaction, as well as financial profit.

After graduating from Paisley High School in 1950, with a class of four students, she moved to Corvallis and attended Oregon State College on the Bernard Daly Scholarship, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Education in 1955. She was an active member of Alpha Gamma Delta.

Joyce began her 32- year teaching career in the San Francisco Bay area.  In 1960, the Department of Defense came calling, recruiting teachers to teach children of families living on military bases in Germany.  She boarded a plane to Gelnhausen, Germany, opening her world to life-long friends, love of travel, and new adventures. Returning to Sunnyvale, Calif., Joyce was swept off her feet by a handsome tennis pro and Lockheed employee, Frank Carver, a graduate of Tulane University.  They married in May of 1966 and welcomed their first child, Randy Carver, in 1968.

The young Carver family bought a farm in Corvallis in 1970, Riverland Ranch, on Kiger Island in the Willamette River.  Alison Carver (Wycoff) arrived that year.  Joyce spent 36 years on Kiger Island growing vegetables, flowers, berries, fruit trees, welcoming neighbors and friends, raising her children, volunteering, playing bridge, throwing parties, and shining her special light on all in her world.

Joyce taught primary school in the Corvallis School District until her retirement in 1994. Joyce was also an active member of Good Samaritan Episcopal Church, serving on many volunteer committees and greeting friends each Sunday morning.

After Joyce’s husband passed away in 2005, she relocated to Edmonds, Wash. to be closer to her children and grandchildren.  She spent her remaining years as an active member of the Edmonds Sno/King AAUW Branch, volunteering in her grandchildren’s classrooms, playing bridge and being a genuine friend to many.  Joyce also served as the Sunday School superintendent at St. Alban’s Episcopal Church in Edmonds, and later a parishioner and volunteer at St. Andrew’s Episcopal in Seattle.

Joyce is survived by her son, Randy Carver and daughter, Alison Carver Wycoff. Grandchildren, Claire Wycoff, Joseph Wycoff and Sabrina Carver, four nieces and nephews, and countless great and great-great nieces, nephews and cousins.

Clyde W Fenimore, 92, died quietly in his home on Sunday, May 18, 2014. He was born on Jan. 20, 1922 in Lakeview, the son of Charles and Florence Fenimore. Clyde lived on the Westside his entire life, farming the land with his father, and later on his own. He loved the land and enjoyed his life as a farmer, constantly improving the ranch upon which he raised crops, cattle and mostly sheep. He was an innovator, bringing the first pivot irrigation system into Goose Valley, and (possibly) the State of Oregon. Clyde honorably served his country in the Army during World War II. He was proud to be a Mason, a Shriner, an Elk and an Eagle throughout his life. He became a Charter Member of the Future Farmers of America when it was established in Lakeview in 1937. Clyde traveled the world, at times on farm tours such as the one he and his wife, Celia, took to New Zealand and Australia many years ago. Though usually a quiet man, Clyde had a great sense of humor, at one time spurring a movie theater crowd into hysterical laughter with his reaction to a line in the Godfather. Clyde is survived by his three daughters, Lynne Engelbert, Joyce Mobley and Annie Cota; eight grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren. Clyde’s daughters continue to argue about who was his “favorite”. He literally went to his grave with that loving argument resounding over the Westside Cemetery. They have often said that “Daddy had three girls, and we were his boys”, each spending their early lives working with him in the fields and barns. One of their favorite memories is walking to the barn in the middle of the night to check the lambing ewes, singing Oh What a Beautiful Morning at the top of their lungs. That song was sung at the close of his “brief” (per his request) memorial service held at the Lakeview First Baptist Church on Monday, May 26, 2014. Inurement followed at the Westside Cemetery. Over Labor Day 2013, during the photographing of the entire Fenimore Clan (30 of them), he was asked if he had anticipated this gang when he began having children. “Good God no!” was his proud answer.

Eddie Lee “Ed” Now, 69, died at his home on Tuesday, May 27, 2014.

While in Klamath Falls, Ed enrolled in college at Southern Oregon College and graduated in 1968 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in education.

He and Gloria Vigil were married in Reno, Nev. on May 12, 1978.

Ed was employed by A.A.F.E.S. under the Department of Defense until starting his career with the Oregon State Police in 1983 at Astoria. He transferred to Lakeview in June 1995 where he finished his career in the game division, retiring in 2004 as a Senior Trooper.

Ed was a multi-talented man, being an excellent teacher, great story teller and an expert linguist. His true passion in life was faithfully fulfilling the role of husband and father.

He was a true outdoorsman, an accomplished photographer, an animal lover and avid reader. His most enjoyable hobby was raising and racing his pigeons.

Ed is survived by wife Gloria of Lakeview; mother Marjorie Now of Klamath Falls; son, Martin Now of Lakeview; son and daughter-in-law, Michael and Anne Marie Now of Seattle; daughters and sons-in-law, Jeanette and David Schwind and Natalie and Nathan Betts of Las Vegas, Nev.; brother and sister-in-law, Garry and Janet Now of Spokane, Wash. and numerous nieces and nephews.
