The Dalles Chronicle, April 17, 2003
  Ruth Irene Larson, 76, a resident of The Dalles, died Tuesday, April 15, 
2003, at a local care center.
     She was born May 29, 1926, in Bliss, Idaho to Harvey Franklin and Anna 
May (Stone) Clampitt and grew up in Bliss and Wendall, Idaho. She lived most 
of her early adult life in Idaho before moving to Oregon, first to Rowena and 
then to The Dalles in 1954.
     She worked as a waitress in several of the restaurants in The Dalles for 
many years, including the Amotan Cafe, Johnny’s Cafe, and The Recreation.
     She loved walking through The Dalles, enjoying the sights and sounds of 
her town and the company of her friends, especially her two closest 
companions, Fran May and Carmela Ames. The other passion in her life was her 
grandchildren.
     She is survived by her four children and their families; sons Ray and his 
wife Lynda Belt, Puyallup, Wash.; and Lars Larson, Rapid City, S.D.; daughters 
Ruth and her husband, Gene Emett, The Dalles; and Linda Larson, Kingsport,

private ceremonies of remembrance in conjunction with the disposition of her 
ashes. Memorial contributions may be made to the American Arthritis Foundation.
