She left behind her hus- band Gary just one month before their 62nd wedding anniversary. They had a wonderful life together and enjoyed many travels; Ire- land, Rio de Janero, Mazat- lan, and Victoria, British Columbia, were a few of their favorite places. Lola was born in Scot- land County, Missouri on June 10, 1938, to Elva and Guy Rosenberger. She was the middle child and only daughter.

Her elder brother, Beryle Rosenberger, lives in South Carolina and her younger brother, Wayne Rosenberger preceded her in death two years ago. She moved with her par- ents to Glendale, Califor- nia, in 1941. She attended John Muir High School, and it was there that she met the love of her life, Gary. They married November 2, 1956, and raised four children, Gary Brumbaugh (Penney), John Brumbaugh (Connie), Debbie Baker (Matt) and Tim Brumbaugh (Brenda). They were blessed with 12 grandsons and three granddaughters and four great-grandchildren.

She was a devoted mom and could often be found cheering for her grandchildren at their games on week- ends. Lola and Gary moved their family from La Crescenta, California, to Albany in 1975 where they bought a 10- acre farm. She loved being around children and worked as a care provider at Albany Presbyterian Church and as a bus driver for Albany Private Schools. When Gary retired from Wah Chang, they spent their winters in Sun River and she worked as a daycare pro- vider at Mt Bachelor while he worked as a lift operator. Because she was so good caring for children, the center named the baby room after her.

These were busy, won- derful years, as they were constantly hosting family and friends at their cabin. Lola was greatly loved and will be deeply missed. A private family celebration of life is being planned for later. AAsum-Dufour Funeral Home is handling the ar- rangements (www.aasum-dufour.com).

Chris was born on June 3, 1955, in Visalia, California, to George B. and Alice V. Johnson. She lived in sev- eral states, graduating from high school in Ashland, New Hampshire, and at- tending college at the Uni- versity of Massachusetts, Amherst before returning to her California roots and moving to Escondido, where she met and married Steven J. Smith, the love of her life.

Chris was independent, adventurous, and imagina- tive and thrived on creating art, traveling, music, and helping others. Over the years, she and Steve traveled the world, writing of their travels while experiencing many ad- ventures together and meeting people from all cultures and walks of life. She left this world too soon, passing peacefully while cheek to cheek with her husband, Steve and surrounded by family. Chris is survived by her parents, George and Alice Johnson; her sister, Kimberlee Johnson; her husband, Steven Smith and many relatives and friends. A memorial in honor will be held in the spring in Medway, Massachusetts.

International affairs adviser named at OSU Sharp ALBANY DEMOCRAT-HERALD No injuries were reported in a fire that displaced one person and damaged an apartment complex Tues- day evening in the 2000 block of Main Street of Sweet Home. According to a Sweet Home Fire District news release, personnel were dispatched to the scene shortly after 5 p.m. When the first unit arrived, flames were observed in- side the middle apartment of the six-unit building. The owner was using a garden hose to help stop the fire from outside the door.

The occupant, whose iden- tity was not known, had already exited safely and was receiving aid from the American Red Cross Cas- cades Region. Sweet Home police offi- cers assisted the battalion chief with evacuating the remaining apartments, three of which were on the second floor. The only exit otherwise was a stairwell, which sustained minor damage, as it was directly above the blaze. The fire was extinguished quickly, the release stated, but the building sustained an estimated $20,000 in damage, with an estimated $3,500 damage to the apartment where the inci- dent originated. The cause was determined to be accidental, due to improp- erly discarded cigarettes.

No injuries reported in SH apartment fire CORVALLIS GAZETTE-TIMES The city of Philomath will have four openings on committees beginning in January and is inviting citizens to apply.

Commissioner Anne Schuster thanked both women for their work in drawing attention to the issue. While aimed primarily at preventing the exploita- tion of traditional circus animals such as elephants, tigers and lions, the ordi- nance also prohibits the ex- hibition of a lengthy list of other wild and exotic crea- tures, including giraffes, camels, walruses, bears and marsupials. In addition, the original version of the ordinance as proposed by county staff was amended to include the taxonomic groups that include wolves, raccoons, tortoises, skunks and armadillos, among others. The ordinance exempts certain types of animal exhibitors from the ban, including filmmakers, ed- ucational institutions such as Oregon State University and the OSU Extension Service, and animal care providers such as Chinti- mini Wildlife Rehabilita- tion Center. After the meeting, Mer- ems said she was pleased with the decision.
