Obituary, Legacy.com, of 3 March 2023.
Winona Mae Bodine died Feb. 28, 2023 in Bethany, OR of age related causes. Winona was born Sept. 5, 1931, in Tillamook, OR, the daughter of the Rev. Len B. and Mildred Fishback. Growing up she lived in Tillamook, Eugene, Baker City, Roseburg and Bend, OR as the family moved in conjunction with her father's ministry. Following graduation from Bend High School in 1949 she attended Willamette University for a year and finished her college studies at the University of Oregon and Northwest Christian College in Eugene. In her 20s, Winona lived in Indianapolis, IN and traveled the country while working for the United Christian Missionary Society of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). She loved her work setting up book exhibits and addressing attendees at various state conventions of the Christian Church. Her eternal optimism and sunny disposition made her a favorite among those she met. She made friends easily and enjoyed people as people. In 1961 she married Harry Bodine, a newspaper reporter and editor, in North Bend, OR. After two years in Louisville, CO and two years in Boise, ID, Harry joined the staff of The Oregonian in 1964 and they put down roots in Portland. The lived in Cedar Hills for the next 59 years. Winona and Harry had two sons: Richard, who preceded them in death in 1986 and Stephen. Winona was a stay-at-home mom until 1976 when she went back to work part time to pay the mortgage on a beach house they acquired in Manzanita. When their sons attended the University of Oregon, Winona started full-time employment, first at Professionals 100, a realty firm, and later Adair Homes when it was based in Beaverton. After retiring from Adair in 1996 Winona volunteered at the Cedar Mill Community Library. For 15 years she enjoyed greeting the public at the check in counter, quickly connecting with young children going to story times. She also volunteered at the food bank conducted by Murray Hills Christian Church where she and Harry were active members for 58 years. She and Harry both enjoyed extended road trips which took them to all 50 states and nine Canadian provinces. Her smile and outgoing personality opened doors wherever they traveled and the list of their friends grew. Winona loved tending her back yard which she beautified with flowers each summer. She enjoyed neighborhood parties, one of them drawing 33 neighbors on a warm summer afternoon. In her mid 80s Winona began enduring memory loss which worsened as she aged, but her affection for family and friends never diminished. In December 2021 she moved to the Arbor Memory Care unit in Bethany where she continued to win friends with her warmth and good humor. She had a life well lived for 91 years and enjoyed it all the way. She was survived by her husband, Harry and her youngest son, Stephen and daughter in law Mitzi, of Portland, OR and granddaughter, Windra of Pensacola, FL.
