Obituary: Barbara Ann Fridley, 96, The Dalles
Barbara Ann Fridley, 96, passed away peacefully from natural causes on Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2024, in The Dalles, OR. She was preceded in death by her husband, Clyde Fridley Jr., and her son Russell D. Fridley, sister Doris Nisbet and brother Gene McConaughy. Barbara is survived by her daughter Teresa Fridley-Willis (Terry) of Goldendale, her son Stuart (Tracey) of Vancouver, WA, and daughter Evelyn (Chris) Hemming, of Bremerton, WA. Grand-children Sarah (Scott) Dickinson and her three beloved great-grandchildren of Goldendale, Grand-children Alena Fridley and Maryn Fridley, Jonathan Hemming and Gavin Hemming.
Born on July 12, 1928, to Dwight and Vera McConaughy, they moved around the Midwest and western states to keep up with the great depression and WW11. They ended up in Wasco, OR.
It was there she met Clyde, who courted her as she was bed-ridden with Rheumatic Fever. It worked! They were married November 28, 1947, in the Wasco Methodist Church.
They Moved from Wasco to Los Angeles, CA, to Tillamook OR, as Clyde pursued his dream and love of flying. Returning to Wasco, she set about being a wife and mother.
The following years saw her family grow as she met the challenges that every “farmer’s wife” faces. Lots of hard work, planning for the best but preparing for the rest. She and Clyde continued to be active in the United Methodist Church.
The summer of 1967 found Barbara and Clyde purchasing another farm and moving their family to Goldendale, WA. It became the home base and continues to be “The Fridley Farm” to this day.
In the early 80’s everything changed when Clyde was diagnosed with cancer. Barbara and Clyde continued to live and learn as they fought to defeat the beast that became a part of the daily battle. Despite their best efforts, Clyde succumbed in March of 1983.
Barbara, after recovering from the loss of her husband, decided to “do something” with all the knowledge she had accumulated. She went back to school and became a Chaplain and Patient Advocate at Holy Family Hospital in Spokane, WA. Her knowledge and life experiences would become essential as she helped patients, and their loved ones work through the halls and walls of Modern Medicine. She was the one who made the call no one wants to hear, that your loved one has died. From there she would help the surviving family members through the agony of dealing with that reality. Some families requested that she be the one to conduct the funeral services and help with the other details when one is most vulnerable.
The next day, she might be the pastor for a wedding because of how she helped the couple or family through a difficult time. Through it all she kept her faith and helped others regardless of their beliefs.
Barbara retired and returned to the farm in Goldendale where she and her husband, Clyde, worked for so many years. She continued her work with the Methodist Women’s group of SW Washington. She was a vocal and visible supporter for peace, despite the insults and gestures hurled her way as she carried a sign calling for Peace rather than bombs. Because it was the right thing to do.
Barbara will be remembered by all who came to know her. Her smile, her kindness and patience, her life-long faith and wisdom will live on in all those she touched.
Whether through her lifetime of work in the church, her work and time spent at Holy Family Hospital, or her activism promoting peace, Barbara did all she could to make this world a better place until she no longer had the physical strength to go on.
She will be missed, but her values and faith will live on.
Barbara’s Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, October 18th, 2024 at 3:00 p.m. at her Fridley Family Farm.

Obituary: Manuel “Manny” Escobar Tactay Jr., 87, Hood River
Obituary: Manuel “Manny” Escobar Tactay Jr., 87, Hood River
Manuel “Manny” Escobar Tactay Jr., our beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather passed away peacefully on September 27, 2024, at 87 years old.
Manny was born on December 21, 1936, to Manuel and Benilda Tactay in Santo Domingo, Ilocos Sur, and raised in Sulvec, Narvacan, Ilocos Sur, Philippines. He was the third child (firstborn son) of eleven children. His birth name was Tomas, but as an infant, he was very sickly; so due to superstitious beliefs, his parents changed his name to Manuel.
Manny initially met his future bride, Terencia “Terri” (Cabudol) in high school, but their relationship flourished after college. On January 2, 1965, Manny and Terri were married and blessed with two children, Tiffany, born in 1966, and Troy, born in 1968. Terri dreamed of moving to the United States for a better opportunity to improve their quality of life. After being approved as a professional CPA in January 1971, she moved to Honolulu, Hawaii leaving her young children and spouse behind. Manny, with the help of their tight-knit family, cared for Tiffany and Troy. They communicated through weekly letters until they reunited on November 14, 1971. Together Manny and Terri built a wonderful life, teaching their children the value of hard work, family, faith, and the importance of education.
In 1976, Manny and Terri became US Citizens. He worked as a foreman for Hawaiian Dredging and a superintendent for SCI working on the H-3 Viaduct. He had a green thumb, growing papaya, guava, mango, and a variety of Filipino vegetables. After being a partner in a construction firm, Integrated Builders, Inc., and owning a painting company, Hawaii Pacific Painting, Inc., he proudly built his own house in a gated community in Makaha, HI, where they lived for 14 years.
Family meant everything to Manny. He enjoyed family reunions, showing his family visitors around town, and keeping up with his siblings and other extended family members through letters and phone calls. After he and Terri became grandparents, they wanted to be closer to their children and grandkids. After they retired, in August 2004, they moved to Hood River to be near their son, Troy, and his growing family.
Manny is survived by his wife, Terri Tactay; his children, Tiffany (Mark) Murphy, and Troy Tactay; grandchildren, Conor (Victoria) Murphy, Sean (Jennifer) Murphy, Malia Murphy, Jonah Tactay, Keone Tactay, Lilah Tactay; great-granddaughter, Isabelle Murphy; siblings, Fe Villamor, Remigio (Norma) Tactay, Estrella (Johnny) Franco, Norman Tactay, and Noemi Tactay; and numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews.
A Catholic Funeral Mass will be held at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, October 5th, 2024 at St. Mary’s Catholic Church (1501 Belmont Ave, Hood River, Oregon).

Obituary: Kenneth Edwin Miller, 82
Football Coach and Teacher Kenneth Edwin Miller dies at 82 after being raised in Boyd and learning the love of football at Dufur Park as a kid. He went on to a fruitful career in coaching football in the U.S. and Canada. A memorial mass will be held for him at Saint Alphonsus Catholic Church in Dufur, OR on September 13th at 12:00 noon with sharing of lunch and memories following.
Kenneth Edwin Miller, 82, was born in The Dalles, Oregon on October 15, 1941, the first child of Kenneth F. Miller and Laura Swett Miller. Kenny, as he was known when he was young, was joined by a sister, Donna, in 1943 and by a brother, Jimmy, in 1950. Ken, as he was known as an adult, passed on to his heavenly home on August 21, 2024.
Kenny spent his childhood in Boyd, Oregon near Dufur and attended Dufur Schools during his elementary and high school years. Kenny was an avid reader, an accomplished artist, and always enjoyed learning. But his lifelong passion was football. The love of the game began in the Dufur Park playing 6-man ball for Dufur High School. During summer breaks, Ken worked in the harvest fields and had a deep love for farming and the outdoors.
Ken graduated from high school in 1959 and began attending Dickinson State College in Dickinson, North Dakota where he played and excelled in football. After 2 years at Dickinson, Ken returned to Oregon and attended Eastern Oregon for a year. Ken married Betty Basche in Richland, OR in June 1962. Kenny and Betty resided in The Dalles for a couple of years where Ken worked at various jobs, including a stint at Harvey Aluminum. During this break from college life, Ken and Betty were joined by a daughter, Kail Sue. But since Ken’s passion was still football, they decided to move their small family back to Dickinson, North Dakota where Ken could once again pursue his dream of teaching and coaching. Ken attended college, worked to support his family, and played his chosen sport of football. Just prior to his graduating with a teaching degree in 1966, the Miller family added another member, a son, Kenneth Robert, who is affectionately known as Bob. Ken remained friends with many of his college friends and coaches who enjoyed following Ken’s coaching career, some of whom travelled to Canada many years later to see their prodigy coach in the CFL.
Ken’s first teaching/coaching position was in Vernonia, OR 1967 to 1970. Although Ken enjoyed this position where he made lifelong friends, he and his family moved to southern California for a teaching and football coaching position at Yucaipa High School in Yucaipa, CA. What took Ken away from the Yucaipa position was the opportunity to coach college football at the University of Redlands in nearby Redlands, CA. Their family home continued to be in Yucaipa for many years. Ken had a long and successful career coaching U of R Bulldog football, and for many of those years, he coached their baseball team as well. Ken continued to receive accolades from his many friends, players, students and colleagues for his work at U of R for the remainder of his life.
Ken and Betty divorced while still living in Yucaipa but remained friends with a mutual respect for each other’s life choices and accomplishments going forward. Betty moved back to the hometown of her childhood, Richland, OR, remarried and enjoyed her love of country life and horses. Betty passed away in July of 2023.
Ken married his true love, Maureen, in December 1998. She remained his complete support, soulmate, and cheerleader until his passing.
Shortly after retiring from the University of Redlands, Ken had the “opportunity of a lifetime” to travel to Toronto Canada for some CFL coaching responsibilities. So, Ken, along with his wife, Maureen, began their 9-year exciting journey as CFL enthusiasts with Ken handling various coaching duties and Maureen supporting every step of the way. Ken was always quick and sincere to let everyone know how much she contributed to his successes. Ken would also acknowledge that his faith was a great source of strength and peace in his life.
Ken’s most lengthy tenure with a team in Canada was with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. These kind words were posted by the Saskatchewan Riders organization upon learning of Ken’s passing: “The Saskatchewan Roughriders are heartbroken over the passing of former Head Coach Ken Miller. Ken was part of the Roughriders for a prosperous five seasons that included a Grey Cup in 2007 as the offensive coordinator and two additional Grey Cup appearances in 2009 and 2010 when he was head coach. A beloved leader of men, he was a finalist for Coach of the Year in all three full seasons he led the Roughriders. We were hounored to induct him into the SaskTel Plaza of Honour as a builder in 2022. Perhaps the only thing that matched his skill as a football coach was the way he made you feel in his presence. Whether you were just meeting him for the first time or knew him well, you felt his warmth and genuine kindness. We will miss him dearly. On behalf of Rider Nation we send our love and condolences to his wife Maureen, his family, friends and loved ones and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.”
Yes, Ken was truly a builder of people. He was a life coach as well as a football coach and changed the lives of many for the better. Ken’s family continues to receive letters of gratitude from former players and students stating how his leadership molded their personal lives and their careers.
Ken is survived by his loving wife, Maureen; sister, Donna Underhill (Ed) Dufur, OR; brother, Jim Miller, Dufur, OR; son, Bob Miller (Chris) Paso Robles, CA and their two daughters, Ande and Megan; daughter, Kail Miller, Richland, OR and her two sons, Kip and Shawn and their families; 3 step-children and their families; and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who will greatly miss his presence.
There will be a funeral mass near his home in North Carolina on August 29th, a memorial mass in Saskatchewan on September 18th, and a memorial mass at Saint Alphonsus Catholic Church in Dufur, OR on September 13th at 12:00 noon with sharing of lunch and memories following. The family is very appreciative of all the love and support we have received.

Obituary: Mary Ann Meyer, 94, The Dalles
Obituary: Mary Ann Meyer, 94, The Dalles
Mary Ann Meyer (Schlichting), aged 94 years, peacefully passed away in her home, on July 20, 2024. She was born in Minot, North Dakota, on September 29, 1929, to Adolph and Bessie Schlichting (Carlson), which was the first year of the twelve-year-long Great Depression.
Her family moved several times for her father’s job opportunities, which varied from businessman to teacher and education administrator. The family moved to The Dalles just before Mary Ann’s senior year of high school.
Mary Ann came from a musical family and was blessed with a beautiful singing voice. She was untrained until a junior high music teacher recognized her talent. After school, they worked together to improve Mary Ann's breathing techniques. This teacher was a gift to her future. After graduating from The Dalles High School, she entered St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota, where she earned her degree in Home Economics. She was the only freshman invited to sing in the renowned 75-voice St. Olaf Choir, the premier traveling a cappella choral ensemble at St. Olaf, and was a member of the choir all four years of college. This was truly an honor!
She taught home economics formally for one year in Minnesota after graduating, but then in 1952, returned to The Dalles to marry the love of her life, Wilson J. Meyer-- an orchardist who had many visions and was a Jack-of-all-trades. They had three children together: Pam, Caryl, and David. All married, all had children, and over the years they enlarged Mary Ann's role from mother to grandmother to great-grandmother. Wilson predeceased her in 1994, at the age of 81.
Mary Ann was a full-time farmer’s wife and mother taking on all the duties thereof with energy and joy. She had a work ethic and a knack for an organization that was second to none. She was interested in community and was an active member for many years of the local chapter of the AAUW (American Association of University Women), serving as President for two of the years.
She was also, throughout her life, an active member of Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church and took pride in her and Wilson being the first couple to be married in the newly constructed building at 10th and Union. In the early years, she directed the children’s “Carol Choir.” Along with her husband, Wilson, they initiated and piloted the teen church youth group in Bible studies with various projects and activities in the new church. She led the church in putting on glorious “Mother/Daughter Teas” for several years with inventive and complex programs to entertain the attendants from the church and community. Later, she presided through the church over the local organization of WELCA (Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America) and was accepted as a lifelong board member. She also presided over the Women’s Mt. Hood Cluster of the ELCA Oregon Synod. She sang with her beautiful voice everywhere and all the time, including in the church choir, continuing to sing throughout the rest of her life up to and including the choir’s monthly performance this past March.
She was an excellent cook and had a Scandinavian background, lefse, flatbrod, Swedish pancakes, and Krumkake were “traditions” and treats all the family enjoyed. Mary Ann had many other interests, hobbies, and talents as well, including swimming, exquisite sewing, and quilting, gardening, the interior design for the two homes she lived in, both constructed by Wilson, and lastly, a new hobby of drying flowers and using them for cards to send for special communications. Everyone loved receiving those beautiful cards and the wonderful handwritten letters they always contained. Mary Ann was a gifted and treasured correspondent to many. She wrote as she spoke – her warmth, wit, and love of life and others rang through in every phrase.
Above all else, her faith and trust in the Lord filled her every day. She relished Bible study, church services, and daily devotions, and believed in the power of “LOVE.” From a brief memoir she wrote of her life for Zion’s newsletter, The Voice, in 2020, she stated: “Love has no bounds. I pray for Christ's continued guidance through the challenges that we, all of us, face today. And I pray for LOVE of, and peace for our families, friends, and -- all humanity.”
Mary Ann was preceded in death by her parents, her brothers Fred and Jim, and her beloved husband, Wilson. She is survived by her children Pam (Mike) Riise, Caryl Brewbaker, and Dave (Dana) Meyer; her grandchildren Tanya, Matt, Kelsey (Jake), Erin (Aaron), Dayna (Tom), Brita, Brenna (Bryan), and Luisa (Jaydn); great-grandchildren Kaley, Donovan, Thea, Roslyn, Lara, Liam, Emery, and Rowan; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Mary Ann, you have lived life fully and have been faithful to Christ to the end. You will be forever loved and admired for what you have given us. Thank you. Rest in Peace.
A memorial service for Mary Ann will be held on Saturday, August 10, 2024, at 2:00 pm at Zion Lutheran Church, 101 W. 10th Street, The Dalles, Oregon. Memorials in Mary Ann’s honor may be made to Zion and designated towards the music program or quilting group.
