The Dalles Chronicle, December 15, 2004
     Ione Clara Rhodes, 94, a resident of The Dalles since 1942, died at a 
local care facility on Saturday, Dec. 11, 2004.
     She was born Sept. 1, 1910, in Perkinstown, Wis., the only child to 
George A. and Elizabeth K. (Gilcher) Goodwin. Her family journeyed west and 
settled in Hood River where she graduated from high school.
     She was married to Ernest H. Rhodes and they lived in The Dalles for many 
years. They divorced in later years.
     She worked at Wink’s Auction Yard, clerking for 13 years; then was a 
secretary for Chenowith Irrigation Co-op for 13 years and later worked at the 
Congregational Church office for 10 years.
     She was a longtime member of the United Church of Christ Congregational; 
a more than 50-year member and a past noble grand of Azalea Rebekah Lodge; 
member and past master of Chenowith Grange, member of state and national 
grange for more than 50 years. She was a past member of the Pythian Sisters, 
Fort Dalles Temple #5; Fort Dalles Riders, charter member of Mid Columbia 
Senior Center; volunteer for the American Red Cross for over 25 years and 
secretary for many groups. She loved to garden, read and loved animals with a 
special fondness for horses and cats. As her health declined she came to live 
at Evergreen The Dalles and she loved all the outings, whether to the store or 
to see a parade.
     She is survived by her son, Russel and his wife, Donna Rhodes, The 
Dalles; her granddaughter, Victoria Popper and her husband, Seth, and their 
children, Alexus and Aaron.
     Memorial services will be held at 2 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 16, at Evergreen 
The Dalles Health Care Center with Asa Jenson officiating. Private entombment 
will be held at Idlewild Cemetery in Hood River with Smith Callaway Chapel in 
care of arrangements.
     Remembrances suggested by her family include a visit to someone in a 
nursing home or a donation to Home At Last Animal Friends, P.O. Box 390, The 
Dalles, OR 97058.
