~Jenny Hildebrand~

Can you imagine being a sophomore in high school and walking down the halls holding hands with your husband? Well, that is exactly what happened to our next resident, Jenny. Jenny was just 16 when she got married. Her husband, Greg, was a senior. And despite many thinking they were too young to get married and wouldn't make it, they defied all the odds.

They have been happily married for 67 years. Jenny says that she has loved every minute of her life with Greg. Currently, Greg lives in a group home as he has dementia. She takes pictures with her every Sunday when she visits him hoping he will remember something. Wishing he could remember all their good times. It has been extremely hard on Jenny to be separated from Greg. They have been inseparable since high school. When asked what the key to a successful marriage was she said to love each other and be nice. Don't argue

Jenny's mother entered Jenny and Greg into a contest about young marriages. Jenny and Greg were selected. They traveled to Portland and they were on the channel two morning show. The interview centered around young married couples and how they have made their marriages work. At that point, they had been married for 34 years.

So how did it all start? In study hall, of course. Greg bugged and bug Jenny until she would give him her attention. Shortly thereafter, they began dating. They dated for 8 months before getting married. She said they just kind of hit it off from the start. They got married in Vancouver at the county courthouse and went on an overnight stay in Newport for their honeymoon. (see pictures)

Greg was manager for the parts department at Ford for 47 years and raised cattle. He made a very good living for their family. Jenny also worked. She worked for Lebanon Express for 15 years. She said it didn't even feel like a job because it was so much fun. She worked at the cannery during the summer and use the money she earned for season passes for skiing. She worked at the phone company. The job that really got me was when she worked for Oregon freeze dry. She made pre-made dinners for the soldiers during the Vietnam war. What a valuable job.

Jenny and Greg had three children. They raised them right here in Lebanon. She refers to herself as a Lebanon lifer. First born was Debbie, she lives in Indiana. Then Tracey, She lives in Portland and lastly is Steve, he lives in bend. She describes them as a very busy family. Always doing sports and keeping active. She said they kept their kids too busy to get into trouble. She is proud of each of her children and says they all turned out really good.

They spent their summers camping at Big lake by hoodoo. A tradition that has followed since childhood. They got to water ski, golf, snow ski, both downhill and night. They got to do it all. The family owned a boat and was on the lake all the time. They were very close and did everything together. Jenny's mom and dad were the first people to fly into Big lake and camp there with friends that owned a plane years ago. Every year Jenny's dad had time off while the mill he worked at closed for 2 weeks. And that's where they went. They spent most of their free time at the lake.

Jenny went to church every weekend. She was raised Catholic. Her mother being her role model as a true Catholic. She said her mom was very patient and so kind. She said her mom was always so good to each of the kids. Her mother made Jenny and her sisters use the buddy system while babysitting. She never wanted the girls alone and I can't blame her.

Jenny grew up in a very busy home. She describes it as very happy. Jenny is always happy, even now. She was born in Klamath falls but moved to Lebanon when she was just 3 months old. She is the oldest of five children. Jenny grew up with all four sets of grandparents. She said they were all very close and did everything together. I asked her of a memory that still makes her smile and she said Grandpa Dunkley. She said that Grandpa dunkley played Santa Claus at Christmas every year. The kids would be sent to their rooms. While waiting, they would hear a bell ring. And they knew Santa was there delivering packages. During this time, parents and grandparents were scrambling to put all the presents under the tree. The children listen closely for the second ring of the bell. That meant that Santa Claus had left and it was time to come out of their rooms. This was a tradition that he did every year.

Jenny grew up fast. She was a very young mother and wife. She missed out on a lot of teenage years. But she has zero regrets. She loves her family more than anything. She has done an amazing job. Jenny is very kind-hearted and doesn't have anything bad to say about anyone. She has made some very close friends here at Meadowlark. She moved here with her husband Greg in March of 2024. Greg moved into the group home shortly thereafter and she misses him every single day. As you can imagine.

I hope you have enjoyed Jenny's story as much as I have.

~Wanda Lyons~

Wanda was born and raised in Southern California. She is a Pitawatoni Indian. She has three siblings. She has an older sister named Dana. Followed by her sister Linda. The baby of the family was Bonnie. Wanda was born before Bonnie. They used to play together all the time.

Dana was a little bit older than Wanda but had a really hard time with the name Wanda. So, Dana called Wanda, DeeDee and as she got older, it changed to Wendy. This has followed her around her whole life. She wouldn't mind if anyone here wanted to call her Wendy.

Wanda describes her mom as a good mom. She said she was very classy. She had beautiful red hair that she wore up. Her mom worked hard to provide a good home for Wanda and her siblings.

When I asked Wanda what memory still makes her smile, she said she remembers being around 9 years old and it was Christmas time. The tree was on the ceiling. Yes, upside down on the ceiling. And she remembers presents being up on the ceiling also. I assume empty and for decoration. Wouldn't that be funny to see? This Christmas was special though. Do you remember when your parents would buy something for you and put it right in front of your face and tell you it was for someone else? Well that's what happened to Wanda. She wanted a bike so bad and there was one being given away at Christmas. She was told it was for her cousin and not to say anything. She was so excited on Christmas to find out that bike was actually for her. She had to get on a curb to get onto it. No training wheels, she just had to learn how to ride. She said it was a light green bike with a belt and a basket. (see picture)

As a little girl, she remembers dressing up in different outfits with her sisters and they would put on plays for the family. They did Camelot in Oklahoma to name a couple. They had more fun dressing up and using their imaginations.

Wanda was pretty shy as a little girl and into her teenage years. While she was in high school, she went to one prom. (see picture) She wore a baby blue dress and her date matched her. She was given a corsage and he a boutonniere. She was also in pep club. Pep club brings the energy to the football games. They were the ones yelling and cheering.

Wanda got her first job around age 19. It was at Bob's Big Boy Restaurant. She was a waitress. She made lots of tips but only worked there for about 6 months. She spent her first paycheck on a can of Root Beer, a Snickers bar and a bag of barbecued potato chips. What a combination.

Wanda had three girls from a previous marriage. Autumn, Kayla and Ashley. They were raised in Garden Valley, Idaho. She said the best present she got when she had her first baby was a diaper service. She used cloth diapers and they would come and pick them up and deliver clean ones to her. That must have been so nice.

What does Wanda miss more than anything from the olden days? She misses sitting at the table visiting. She misses when people took the time to sit down and visit. The conversations around the table were always when they caught up as a family.

Wanda is very strong in her faith. She told me of a time that she had to go up a really steep mountain with her girls in the car. It was raining really hard and as they were driving up through the curves, the car stalled. The girls were terrified as the car started slipping backwards. Wanda said " pray girls " and put the car in gear and it shot up the rest of the mountain. They made it safely to their destination. And they still had to make the trip home. She said it was much easier to go down the mountain than it was to go up.

The best advice Wanda has ever been given was to simply not tell anyone about your private business. I personally think that is solid advice. Too often we involve others and it makes that problem worse.

Wanda met Randy on July 4th, 2003. Her marriage to him is one of her proudest achievements. But we will get to that in part three.

I hope you have enjoyed getting to know Wanda a little better.

~Randy Lyons~

This is a three-part interview/posting process as Randy and Wanda are married. I interviewed Randy first. I will interview Wanda next so you see her story. And lastly, I will be posting a story of their life together.

Randy came to Meadowlark in September of 2024 with his lovely wife, Wanda. He loves living here. He has a one bedroom apartment that is very welcoming. But where did he start? Let's find out.

Randy traveled a lot growing up. He has six siblings. They all fought growing up with the usual sibling rivalry. They mainly lived between Oregon and Washington.

When Randy was little, he moved in with his Aunt Gail and Uncle Owen. They had a full size couch in their living room that had a little couch on it. Two figurines sit on top of that little couch. If the aunt and uncle were getting along, the figurines faced each other. So, when you walked into the house, you knew the mood immediately. I found that story to be hilarious. He lived on a 40 acre ranch while living with his aunt and uncle and said he just ran wild. It was on a dead end road and had an antique graveyard as well as a car graveyard on it.

His role model was his grandpa Victor and his uncle Owen. They were the two men he spent most of his time with. They taught him how to work on cars letting him hand them tools. He watched his grandfather setting the example for him by treating his grandmother with love and respect. He learned his morals and values from these men.

When asked what memory still makes him smile, he said his trip to Yellowstone national Park. His grandma and Grandpa got a little camper. His aunt and uncle got a little camper. And they all set out for a 2-week trip. He remembers his aunt and uncle buying him a 35 mm camera for the trip. He was so excited. He saw bear and buffalo. A bear even went through their garbage at camp. He saw the ice caves and Old faithful. It was a trip of a lifetime.

At 13, Randy got his first job picking strawberries. His brother had rented a room in a home and Randy moved in with him. At 13, he had his own place. And with that, he grew up too soon. Randy says he wouldn't be the person he is today had he not been raised and gone through the hardships he did.

Randy joined the army in 1979 and served until 1985. He was stationed in Alaska. He said there were more liquor stores than there were bars. And there was a bar on every corner. He liked it there and didn't mind the cold weather.

Randy had two girls from a previous marriage. Allison lives in coos Bay and Megan lives in New York. As little girls, he remembers them going into their rooms and dressing up in crazy outfits and then coming out and prancing in front of their dad. They would then go back and put on another outfit. He said he was the only house in the neighborhood with a swing set; therefore, he had a minimum of nine kids at his house at all times. Can you imagine, that house was busy. He raised them and Reedsport and Coos Bay.

The best advice he has ever been given was to always, and I mean always, treat your woman right. Never step out on her. If you want something else, then don't get married. He takes his vows very seriously. He is most proud of his morals and values. And wishes more people had them. He said common sense is a thing of the past and he wishes more people would practice it.

When asked if there were any memories that still make him smile, he instantly smiled and said my grandfather. He was a pull my finger kind of grandpa. He would tell Randy funny stories and then say "don't tell your mom or grandma". I can relay with my grandfather did the same. Oh, the secrets they had.

Randy wants to be remembered for the kind, helpful person he is. He goes out of his way to get people involved in men's group. He is mastered most of our puzzles and he gets involved with activities.

His favorite job was as a truck driver. He did this for 20 years. It was July 4, 2003, he was one and a half years into his 20-year driving when he met Wanda. And the rest is history.

I hope you've enjoyed learning more about Randy.

02/03/2026

Does anyone remember the .88 cent store? I was amazed to find out that Albany was the home to that store so many years ago. I am told it was downtown. This would be Chuck's first job. He worked as a stock boy. He loved working there and stayed until the business closed. In fact, Chuck has worked just about everywhere. From paper carrier to working on the railroad. He even played Santa Claus at Storybook Land for 5 years which he absolutely loved. He also played the cinnamon bear for Fredericks and Nelson. He walked around in a bear suit. Can you imagine how adorable that was? His favorite job had to be working for the railroad. He did that for 5 and 1/2 years. His second favorite job was working at 7-Eleven. He worked there for 4 years.

Chuck grew up in Albany and had three siblings. His sister, Mary was born first, Jimmy was next, then Chuck and the last born was Paul. At the age of 10, Chuck lost his mother followed by his youngest brother, Paul. He then moved to his grandma's house.

Chuck's grandma was his role model. She was a retired school teacher so you can imagine how strict she was. But not too strict. He said she was an amazing cook and baker. Cinnamon rolls were her expertise. He loved her roast beef the best followed by her holiday turkeys. He said they were mouth-wateringly delicious. His grandma spent a lot of quality time with Chuck. She owned cottages in waldport and used to rent them out. So her and Chuck went to the coast regularly. He said they fish daily in a three-person wood boat for trout. His face just lights up when he talks about her. They went to the Baptist Church every Sunday day and night. When they returned home, they would have a nice Sunday dinner.

His grandmother was an incredibly giving woman. She had an ex on her doorstep. This x meant that if you were hungry, you could knock on the door and she would make you something to eat. Usually a sandwich while they waited outside. She did this the entire time he lived with her. What a selfless human being. We could use more like her for sure.

When I asked him who he was most proud of, he said his sister, Mary. She lives close by in Albany. She has helped him all his life and he is grateful for that. He said they used to go to the coast a lot and he remembers how much fun they had.

Although Chuck had a number of engagements, he never got married and didn't have any children. He did everything with his best friend and his best friend's wife. He had the trip of a lifetime with them when they went to wildlife Safari. He loves seeing all the animals. I asked Chuck if he had any funny stories about his friends and himself. He said one night he and his friends were on an old back road between Salem and Albany. They were all quite intoxicated. So intoxicated, that they were able to convince one of the friends that a UFO had landed and took him and brought him back. And he believed them. Now that's funny!

Chuck was a concert connoisseur. He went to somewhere around 100 concerts in his lifetime. He said the best concert of all times was Boston. He said the next best was Little River band and I was so jealous. I have always wanted to see them. He said the worst concert was Blue oyster cult. He spent most of his teen years going to concert after concert with his friends. One year alone he went to 30 concerts.

I asked Chuck what the best advice that he has ever been given was and he said to get a job and stay at it. Don't change jobs. He had so many jobs in his lifetime that he wishes he had just stuck to one.

Chuck's favorite car was a two-seater MP midget. He loved that car so much. I bet it was a hoot to drive. He regrets wasting so much money on young and dumb stuff.

When I asked Chuck what obstacles he has overcome, he said his fifth stroke really did damage to him. He couldn't walk and was in a wheelchair. He has worked really hard to get out of the wheelchair and become more independent. He can walk now when he couldn't before. Chuck also spent a couple of years in memory care. He clearly didn't need to be there and was moved to Meadowlark. He came here in August of 2025. He absolutely loves it here. Coming and going whenever he chooses and not being locked up.

I hope you've enjoyed learning more about Chuck.

~Alan Mahaffey~

Today I'd like you to meet Alan.

Have you ever lost contact with someone in your family and yours go by? You wonder about them daily or every once in a while. And then one day, by chance, you tell the right person that you want to find your family member. And within minutes, you are holding their phone number in your hand. That's exactly what happened to Alan. He lost contact with his brother approximately 15 years ago and with some investigating, I was able to find his brother's phone number. My words cannot express the happiness he felt. He left my office and called his brother. And they had the best talk. And now Alan is sitting on top of the world.

Alan's childhood, he describes as tough. His parents worked a lot; therefore, there was little guidance. So, he got in trouble a little and had to learn the hard way with some stuff. But that happens. Alan was born in grays harbor, Washington. He had one sibling, a brother, Jim. He lives in Washington. Jim is also Alan's role model.

In high school, Alan lived on a 40 acre farm. There were chickens, a cow and a small bowl calf. He started laughing as he remembered seeing that little bull calf with those little horns and he remembers wondering if he could write it or not. He thought maybe if he grabbed the ears? Now that would have been entertaining.

Alan had a large extended family. He had lots of cousins, ants and uncles. They used to spend holidays together. Alan was a very shy kid so he just kind of stayed in the background watching.

At 10, Alan moved to Alaska. His dad got a job at the sawmill. With him being in Alaska, this allowed Alan to do a lot of fishing. In fact, he fished almost every day. He used to catch albacore tuna, salmon and steelhead. His dad used to say, if there is a fish out there, Alan will catch it. He really loved Alaska and never wanted to leave.

Alan had a favorite rock on the jetty. He loved fishing from it. He used to have his own rig up. As most fishermen do. He used a bag of big frozen prawns. He said the salmon loved it. He called himself the yeti at the jetty.

Alan is most proud of his commercial fishing. He did this for a couple of years. He remembers being in the 65-ft troller boat out in the harbor with his buddy. They had a little bad weather so they anchored behind an island for the night. The next day right before leaving, his buddy looked at the fish finder and said " get ready ". And it was on. Literally hundreds of fish were seen as clouds in the water. Using a hydraulic lift, Alan was able to bring hundreds of fish onto the boat. They immediately came back to the dock and sold the fish. He caught $307 fish and made $500. Not bad for a day's work. He remembers fishing one time and he had the biggest steelhead on his pole and with the current the steelhead turn sideways and it snapped the line. What a bummer. He also told me of a time he caught a large trout. He took it to the shore and was going to make a sandwich with it. And a weasel tried to steal it. He then hooked the weasel and ran off with its feelings hurt.

I asked Alan what makes him smile. He said combing the ocean and collecting figure wood. I had never heard a figure would. It is a log or a piece of wood that resembles something else. He remembers making a walrus once.

Alan moved to Meadowlark in February of 2025. He said it has taken him a little time but he has grown to like it here. His main problem is boredom. When this happens, he blows leaves outside and sweeps. He loves helping whenever possible.

I hope you have enjoyed learning more about Alan.

~Charlene Winston~

Today I'd like you to meet Charlene.

Hooray for Hollywood! Our next resident to meet was born there.

Charlene is a rare gym. She is genuine, loving and dedicated, to name a few. She reminds me a lot of my own mother. Charlene moved to Meadowlark in March of 2025. She loves living here. She said she knew the very second she saw her room that this was to be her home. She has made some very close friends with lots in common with her.

Charlene is filled with love for her brother, Ralph aka Bubba aka Bub. She just adored him. She has so many stories about them together but I only have space for a few. While Charlene was living in Venice, California. She had to be right around 5:00. Her brother and her went to the canal. Bubba was younger than Charlene. They were watching the fish from the sidewalk next to the canal when Bubba fell in. Charlene was scared and looked up to see a couple coming across the bridge. She said " oh my baby Bubba ". And the man without question, handed the groceries to his wife and jumped in. He saved Bubba. As he got older, his name shortened to Bub.

At that same canal, Charlene taught Bubba how to catch fish. Well kind of. She told me they would put bread in a court jar and tie a rope to it. They would then drop it down into the water and wait for a fish to swim above it. When that happened, they would pull the jar up. Only the weight of the jar broke the rope, every time. Needless to say, there are quite a few jars in that canal.

In the sixth grade, she was living in Paramount, California. Her mom worked at a restaurant at an ice skating rink. Charlene and Bubba were on the ice all the time. In fact, Bubba was Pacific Northwest speed skating champion 2 years in a row. And Charlene was a figure skater. She did this for 3 or 4 years. One day, a recruiter for the ice capades came and asked Charlene to participate. And she said " no ". She was just too shy. This is absolutely one of her regrets.

Bubba passed away at the age of 43 after a battle with cancer. When he found out that he had cancer he bought a DeLorean. You know the kind of car that the doors lift. Was it a statement piece? Yes, and why not! This is what he wanted. He had worked as chief engineer of Dreyer's ice cream. When he got sick, they supplied him with all the ice cream he wanted. Charlene was incredibly close to Bubba and his death devastated her.

Charlene's mother was working on the film gone with the wind. She dyed dogwood blossoms for a scene in the movie. She had to dye them twice to get the desired color they needed. Well watching the end of the movie when Clark Gable says, " frankly my dear, I don't give a damn ". The door is open and if you look through the fog there are the dogwood blossoms that her mother dyed on the tree. They are a little hard to see as she herself had to watch it five times before she saw them.

Have you ever experienced Divine intervention? This is a prime example of it. I asked Charlene who her role model was. She said it was her dad. Her father was in the Navy in World War II. They had orders to leave that day. Just before loading the ship, her father got new orders. He was ordered to go somewhere else. Would you believe that the ship left port that day and was torpedoed at sea. With no survivors. He was incredibly lucky. And if that's not some type of divine intervention, then I just don't know what is.

Charlene said her first job was working as a sales clerk at Anita's dress shop. She was paid hourly but also would earn commission on her sales. One day an inebriated gentleman came into the dress shop. He purchased a necklace for his wife. Charlene was to receive the commission. The very next day, then now sober gentleman came back to return the necklace. Charlene got to keep the commission even though he returned it.

It's a small world, they say. Because it really is. Charlene had a best friend all through high school. They invited their mothers to come to the senior mother's tea. When they both arrived and met up, it wasn't the girls giving hugs, it was the moms. The mothers of both of these girls went to school together in Oklahoma. Can you believe that? See, a small world indeed.

Charlene got married in 1960 and after 20 years, they divorced. She had four children. Raised all of them in Albany. She was a hands-on mother. She stayed home when her children were little. She always had time for her kids. Her daughter Teresa, lives close by and visits religiously. Charlene says she loves and appreciates Teresa more than she will ever know. I called Teresa on the phone and asked her to describe her mom. Teresa said quite simply that Charlene was the kind of mom that everyone wanted. They had friends in and out of the house all the time and Charlene loved every one of them. One night Teresa and her friend Wendy had a sleepover. They were right around 7:00. They slept in the backyard. Upon waking, they realized that a slug had went through Wendy's hair and tangled it into a nest. Charlene spent most of the morning brushing the slug out of that long blonde hair. Can you imagine the patients that took?

Charlene remembers taking her kids on a trip to Disneyland. Her son had been working on a paper route and saved his money to buy her a Madame Alexander Cinderella doll. He paid $10 for it. And it's now worth 500. She still has that doll displayed in her room.

Have you ever wanted to build your own home? Will Charlene have the chance and took it. While living in Wi******er Bay with her boyfriend, Tom, they built their dream home. It took a year to build. It was overlooking the Salmon Harbor. This house is quite simply amazing. It was sold a number of years back. Crazy to think it cost them $85,000 to build and right now it's worth $653,000. It was a modest three bedroom two bath home. They lived in this home for 11 years before selling it. Charlene kissed the door as she left for the very last time.

Here are some extra facts, just because. The movie Grease was filmed at the high school she graduated from. Her father was in the Navy and stationed in Saipan. She retired from mervin's after 16 years. Would you believe she stood in line for 4 hours to apply for that position. Of course, she was hired on the spot. Charlene has a connection to butterflies as she felt free as one after her divorce. Her great grandfather was a prisoner of war. She misses the music from her era.

When asked what she is overcome, she simply stated having her knees replaced. She didn't have just one but both. She did one one year and the other the next year. She said she all but forgot the pain because her knees felt so much better afterwards. She has regained use of both knees and is happy that she had them replaced.

Charlene is very social at Meadowlark. She plays bingo a few times a week. And one of those times not too long ago, she got a bingo. Not just any bingo though. I had only called five numbers. Everyone was shocked. I've never seen that happen. So I told her she needed to play the lottery. I regret to inform you that her luck did not follow her to the lottery.

I really hope you enjoyed learning more about Charlene.

~Linda Santineau~

Today we are meeting Ms. Linda.

Linda grew up in Chicago. She had a large family with three brothers and one sister. She was very close with her siblings.

As a young child, Linda learned the importance of helping others. Her brother was born with muscular dystrophy. Linda helped take care of him from a very early age. Her brother quit walking at 5 years old. Linda's mom needed all the help she could get. Linda didn't mind helping, she loved her brother.

When Linda was 12, her family moved to California. They moved into a house that was only a couple of blocks from the beach. It was warm and sunny, completely different from Chicago and the pier quickly became her second home.

When asked if she had any regrets in her life, she told me of a family trip to Walt Disney. She was approached by Walt Disney himself. He asked her if she would like to be a mouseketeer. She was thrilled at the very thought. She turned to the Walt and said, "you'll have to ask my parents". And for whatever reason, they chose not to let her participate. She still thinks about that to this day and wonders why they wouldn't let her.

She was on the pier one day looking for a job and she met a married couple. It turned out that they owned a drop-in diner. They offered her a job in a place to stay while she was working. The couple helped her to become the strong independent woman she is today.

Linda got married when she was 19. She had three children. Her first was a girl, Tara. She lives in Georgia. James, her son, followed and he lives in Arizona. The baby of the family was a girl, Christina. She lives in Oregon.

One of Linda's proudest achievements would be graduating truck driving school. She drove for 4 years at an Air Force Base until she heard her back. She then went to Umpqua community college to become a medical technician. She would attend school all week and spend her weekends doing medical practicals. Therein getting the experience she needed to be successful. After graduating college, she studied and passed all 12 state tests to obtain her x-ray technician license. Linda is an outgoing individual. She is caring, gracious, generous and humble. She will do anything for anybody.

Linda has overcome so many obstacles in her life. Three years ago, Linda was mistakenly placed in a memory care facility. Through strength and perseverance, and with the help of her son, she was released. She decided that assisted living would be the most beneficial option for her. She then moved to Meadowlark in December of 2024. She is happy to be here and she has made some great friends. Not to mention that her health has improved significantly since her move here. She keeps busy playing bingo, doing crafts and going on outings.

Linda grew up Catholic and has always had the Lord in her life. At 38, she gained it understanding of the Bible that she hadn't had before. That allowed her to form a relationship with him. She prays daily and says she wouldn't be where she is today without him.

She misses the simplicity of the old days. When people genuinely cared for one another. When neighbors helped each other without question. She misses the music and the way people dance to said music. Slow dancing was her favorite.

I hope you have enjoyed getting to know Linda as much as we all have.
