     Joan Helen McCargar, 73, a resident of Portland, died Nov. 10, 2005 at a 
Portland hospital of complications from diabetes.
     She was born Jan. 30, 1932 in Portland to Clifford and Helen (Enquist) 
McCargar. The family lived for a time in Portland, then moved to Estacada. In 
the late 1930s the family moved to The Dalles and in 1948 to Mosier.
     She graduated from Mosier High School in 1950 where she worked as a 
telephone operator.
     She later moved to Oakland, Calif., where she pursued a career in screen 
printing. She also lived in Vancouver, B.C.; Winnipeg, Manitoba; and Toronto, 
Ontario, Canada; and eventually moved back to Portland, working many years for 
Custom Systems.
     Her hobbies included folk dancing, singing, gardening, crocheting, 
reading (especially The Cat Who series and Harry Potter) and Walt Disney 
movies.
     Survivors include brother and sister-in-law, Edwin C. and Glenna 
(Gibbons) McCargar, Mosier; sister and brother-in-law, Eileen (McCargar) and 
Jack D. Thomas, also of Mosier; nephews Kelly McCargar, Mosier; Morgan 
McCargar and his wife, Amy, Pendleton; and nieces, Amber (Thomas) Arrington 
and her husband, Brad, The Dalles; and great-nephews, Joseph McCargar, Evan 
Jepsen and Christopher Arrington and many cousins.
     According to her wishes there will be no funeral service. The family held 
a gathering to celebrate her life.
