The Dalles Chronicle, February 9, 2005
     Margaret May (Darnielle) Lantis, 88, a former resident of The Dalles and 
Hood River, died in San Diego on Feb. 1, 2005.
     She was born in The Dalles on Jan. 21, 1917, the second of six children 
to Paul and Margaret Darnielle. She lived in The Dalles most of her childhood, 
graduating from The Dalles High School in 1934 and was known as “Kelly” for 
her love of kelly green.
     She married a long-time family friend, Daniel Eugene Lantis, in The 
Dalles on March 11, 1939. They lived there when their son Daniel Eugene “Gene” 
was born in 1940 and Thomas Roy “Tom” in 1942.
     They moved to Hood River in 1943 and on a small farm on what was then 
Portland Way, where Caroline Ann “Carrie” was born in 1946. 
     Her husband worked at the Dee Mill for a whole but worked for Apple 
Growers and Diamond Fruit for more than 30 years before retiring in 1969. They 
bought a home at Fourth and May streets.
     She worked at the Hood River Cafe for several years after her husband 
retired and they lived in the Oak Apartments.
     She loved to crochet and made hundreds of pineapple tablecloths and 
played piano when company came. She served as secretary for the Hood River 
Valley Christian Church. 
     In 1978 they built a home and lived on Gene’s farm in Dallas, where Tom 
and Carrie and their families lived nearby.
     Her husband died in 1992 after having a heart attack and strokes. She 
moved to the San Diego area the next year and lived with her daughter until 
her death from emphysema, asthma and heart failure.
     Survivors include a sister, Dorothy Grace Wescott, in the San Diego area; 
her children, Daniel Eugene “Gene” and Nona Lynn (Sandercock) Lantis; Thomas 
Roy “Tom” and Ruth Ann (Moss) Lantis; Caroline Ann “Carrie” Ciolina; and many 
grandchildren and great-grandchildren, including one on the way.
     She was also preceded in death by siblings Burt Ivan, John Henry, Vivian 
Jean and Robert Paul “Pete.”
     There will be no funeral services. Her wish was to be scattered at sea in 
San Diego during the summertime.
