In memory of one of our cherished residents here at Chehalis West, I wanted to share this message that came to us today from a wonderful family. It has been our honor to care for their mother, and to them "Thank you for trusting all of us".

I asked Traci if it was ok to share this with you all and she said
"Of course! People should know when elder care does it right."

Hello Donna,

Would you please convey my deep appreciation for the job that everyone at Chehalis West has done caring for my mother? I know she was only there a short time (about 4 months). I had hoped for longer but it was not meant to be.

During her stay there, mom frequently talked about how kind everyone was, from the people in the dining room giving her French toast at 6pm to the caregivers who came to assist her when she was not feeling well or James fixing her toilet and hanging pictures.

During the last 2 weeks that she was dying, I can't say enough about the care team and their efforts and kindness cleaning her, talking to her, and respecting her dying body. There are not enough words to say how much I appreciate them all.

Shay was amazing and my mother definitely developed a bond with her which made me so happy.

Bless all of you for what you are doing - I know it is NOT an easy task but you accomplish your jobs with grace and love, and that means everything to us.

Take good care and God Bless.

Traci and Floyd Hilligoss

Rest in peace our dear friend.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF JERRY DOWEL BRYANT — 1940-2026: It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jerry Dowel Bryant, who left this world on Feb. 5, 2026, at the age of 85. Born on July 1, 1940, in Seymour, Missouri, Jerry was a beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend who touched the lives of many during his remarkable journey.

Jerry was the proud son of James Alvin Bryant and Rena Bell Cardwell, who nurtured his love for family and community. He grew up in a close-knit family, the middle child of 10 children. Jerry graduated from Pe Ell High School in 1958 and married his wife, Faye, shortly after. They were married for 65 wonderful years and together built a beautiful family and created countless treasured memories.

Jerry dedicated much of his working life to timber cutting, a profession that reflected his love for the great outdoors. His passion for nature extended beyond work, as he enjoyed fishing and cooking and loved going on trips to Reno with friends.

Jerry's commitment to his community was evident through his service on the Pe Ell City Council for more than 25 years, where he worked tirelessly to improve the lives of those around him. He loved attending high school games, cheering on the local teams with enthusiasm. He was a man who truly loved his family and community, embodying the spirit of compassion and dedication.

Jerry was preceded in death by his parents, James and Rena; brothers, Bill, Jim, Doyle and Danny; and sister, Wilma. He is survived by his loving wife, Faye, as well as their three daughters: Tracy Bryant, Julie Crivea (Loren) and Shari Fuss (Jan); siblings, Lyle Bryant, Tom Bryant, David Bryant and Joyce Prior; grandchildren, Jonah Johnson, Melissa Johnson, Mehki Morlin, Taylor Trippe (Sam Chaffee), Jacie Crivea (Tyler) and Jillian Fuss; along with several great-grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Feb. 13, 2026, at Sticklin-Brown Funeral Chapel in Centralia, Washington, with a reception to follow.

We were honored on Saturday February 7,2026 with a visit from Spokes 4-H club who handmade all of our residents a Valentine's Day card. All of the cards were unique and beautiful!

They were welcomed with a big smile from residents that were very happy for the love they were shown. Walking through the community we can see them on the dining room tables, and in the apartments on display. Several residents referred to the kids as their grandchildren later when I asked who gave them the card! That tells you what an impact the kids had on them during this visit. Thank you to all of the kids and their parents for bringing them in for a memorable visit. We are counting down the days when we will get to see your animals that you will be showing at the fair.
