The Dalles Chronicle, June 13, 2005
     Betty Lo Mellin, 79, a resident of The Dalles, died at a local hospital 
on Saturday, June 11, 2005.
     She was born December 4, 1925, in Washougal, Wash., to Albert and Hazel 
(McBroom) Bedell. Betty grew up and graduated from high school in Washougal. 
     After high school, she started her own coffee shop, where she met her 
future husband, Arthur “John” Mellin. 
     They were married in 1944 in Bend. 
     After her wedding, she worked at the Camas-Washougal paper mill for two 
years before they started traveling for John’s work. John worked on the 
construction of dams in the Pacific Northwest, as well as in Pakistan. In 
1967, they moved to Moro where they lived until John’s death in 2000. Betty 
then moved to The Dalles. 
     She enjoyed cooking and making people happy. Betty had no children, but 
always had an open door for friends, many of whom she called family.
     Viewing visitation will be held from 2 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, June 21, at 
Spencer, Libby & Powell Funeral Home.
     Graveside services will be held at Willamette National Cemetery in
