Dr. J. Lindsay Oaks

Dr. J. Lindsay Oaks, D.V.M., Ph.D, of Pullman, succumbed to an aggressive Neuroendocrine tumor on January 15, 2011 at Holy Family Hospital in Spokane, WA. The Rosary service will be held at 4 PM on Friday, February 11, 2011 at Kimball Funeral Home in Pullman, WA. The Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10 AM on Saturday, February 12, 2011 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Pullman. Vault interment will follow at the I.O.O.F. Cemetery in Pullman, WA. Lindsay was born August 6, 1960 in Corpus Christi, TX to Jerald L. and J. Kathleen (Jones) Oaks Sr. He moved with his family growing up in Oklahoma, Colombia, South America, Israel, and then to Denver, CO where he graduated from Cherry Creek High School., Dr. Oaks completed his undergraduate and professional education at Colorado State University, graduating in 1986 with his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree. Keeping with his lifelong passion for raptors and a taste for international work, he began his career in clinical practice at the Dubai Falcon Hospital and Dubai Equestrian Centre, in the United Arab Emirates. His interest and expertise in raptors and horses would prove to be a driving force his entire career. After a year in clinical practice in Chino, California from 1989-1990, Dr. Oaks came to the College of Veterinary Medicine at Washington State University for postgraduate education and training in microbiology, where he began a distinguished career in academic veterinary medicine that kept him in Pullman until his untimely death. Lindsay achieved specialty diplomate status in the American College of Veterinary Microbiologists, and was recently elected by colleagues to serve on the Board of Governors for that specialty. He was a highly respected colleague and leader in his specialty organization, the American Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians, and served on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation for the past six years., As a faculty member in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Washington State University, Dr. Oaks served as a Section Head in the Washington Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory. He was a widely consulted and respected microbiologist among his professional colleagues in clinical practice throughout the Pacific Northwest and the Nation, and his loss to the profession is felt profoundly. Lindsay led the microbiology training program in the Department of Veterinary Microbiology and Pathology, was a lecturer in many courses, and most recently was a course director for the veterinary virology course. In his typical quiet and unassuming way, and with his clinical experience providing a practical perspective, he was able to establish a rapport and trust with his students that made him a highly popular, respected and effective mentor for so many veterinarians and microbiologists in training. He was much beloved by his students, and it was in the classroom that he felt he could contribute most to a profession that had given him so much., Dr. Oaks had a distinguished research career that spanned from the laboratory to the field. His colleagues and collaborators will sorely miss his contributions into the intricate mechanisms of viral action and persistence. Lindsay will be most remembered around the world for his work in emerging disease discovery and conservation medicine. He was a lifelong friend and trusted resource for the Peregrine Fund, working since his teen years in restoring populations of falcons and other raptors. He discovered the viral cause of high death loss in captive Aplomado Falcons, and worked to highlight the role of lead in causing the death of California Condors. But it is his leadership in elucidating the role of a veterinary anti-inflammatory drug in the devastating decline of Oriental white-backed and other Gyps vultures on the Indian subcontinent that carved his name in the annals of conservation medicine forever. This work, which in 2004 was published in Nature, one of the most prestigious scientific publications in the world, provided the insight that led the way in saving that species from extinction., Dr. Oaks' colleagues and friends from Pullman to the Middle East to Asia mourn his loss along with his family, but also celebrate his life, knowing that his impact will be forever remembered. His passion was fishing (all types) and Falconry. He is survived by his three children Gilbert Oaks, Sara Ulibarri and Gillian Oaks all of Pullman; the mother of his children Catherine Ulibarri of Pullman; his father Jerald L. Oaks Sr., of Denver, CO; his mother J. Kathleen Pratt of Houston, TX; his stepmother Elena G. Oaks of Denver, CO; his sister Kristi Accarrino of Tavernier, FL; and his uncles Harry Jones and John C. Oaks. Lindsay's family has asked that in lieu of cards and flowers, memorial gifts may be made to the College of Veterinary Medicine, Washington State University, PO Box 647010, Pullman, WA 99164 or to The Peregrine Fund, 5668 W. Flying Hawk Lane, Boise, ID 83709. KIMBALL FUNERAL HOME of Pullman is caring for the family. Online condolences may be sent to

Gerald Leon Cooper

COOPER, Gerald Leon, Died on Thursday, January 27, 2011 at the Spokane Veterans Home with his loving wife of nearly 57 years, Lorraine, at his bedside. Services to honor Gerald's memory and contributions to the community, will be held on Monday, January 31, 2011 at 11 am at the Sunset Chapel, Fairmount Memorial Park, 5200 W. Wellesley, Spokane. A short graveside service will follow and that evening at 6 PM, there will be additional prayers (shiva minyan) said for Jerry at the Spokane Veterans Home's Chapel, 222 East 5th Avenue, Spokane., He was born in Spokane on June 21, 1915 to Edward Cooper and Goldie Bramer Cooper. Gerald was the middle of three sons, all of whom enlisted in the United States military after the attack on Pearl Harbor. He served in England, France, and Germany attached to the 9th Air Force. During a bombing raid in London, his ear drum was punctured, and he permanently lost his hearing in his left ear., Passing high school chemistry was deemed sufficient for Jerry to be assigned to teach chemical warfare at Spokane's Geiger Field prior to being sent to Europe on the second Mauretania. He arrived at Omaha Beach at D-Day Plus Six. The following year, he was deputized to transport Hermann Goering, Adolf Hitler's designated successor, to Nuremberg, Germany. The former Nazi official was dressed in his military whites, but since the Allies needed to protect his identity en route to his final posting, Jerry put the Nazi Commander-in-Chief of the German Air Force in a dirty coal carrier for the trip., A founding member of Spokane's Temple Beth Shalom, Jerry was also a member of the, , the American Legion, and the Musicians Union. Beginning at age 15, Jerry started working part-time at Western Union. The messengers competed mightily to deliver telegrams alerting "ladies of the night" of their upcoming work schedules in many of downtown Spokane's old hotels, as the "working girls" were known as the most generous tippers., Jerry worked in the clothing industry prior to and after the war. Eventually, he and his late younger brother, Bernard, opened Coopers Men's Shop on East Sprague. Later the brothers opened the Blue Lantern Tavern on North Division and upon selling the tavern 25 years later, he worked as a salesman at all the local Red Wing shoe stores for another 15 years., Not one to sit idle (after all, he installed his underground, automatic lawn sprinkler system all on his own), Jerry joined the Spokane Police Department's Senior Volunteer Program for five years. This volunteer work allowed Jerry to come full circle, as he used to sell uniforms to the police officers and do their tailoring when he owned his own shop decades earlier. Until recently, Jerry's treadle sewing machine still came in handy for minor clothing repairs., The Cooper sons were musical and at an early age, Jerry's dad acquired a drum set for his middle child. Not only did "Bud" play with his late older brother, Sydney, in their own dance band while in high school, he also played with various big bands in the greater Spokane region for more than 40 years. Many older Spokanites may remember Jerry playing at the Breezy Point at the State Line or playing for Louis Davenport in the famed hotel's Italian Gardens. In addition, Jerry played music with fellow soldiers during the war and one of the most precious photographs his daughter has of her father shows him playing the drums with his buddies at a Displaced Persons camp somewhere in Europe. Jerry was set to audition for one of Paul Whiteman's traveling bands when the war ended and he decided instead to come home., The story goes that Jerry told his future wife, Lorraine, that he was going to marry her on their first date. While living in Spokane, he was set up with a nice Jewish girl in Seattle (who hailed originally from Chicago) and their courtship was undoubtedly aided by the assistance of a friend's wife who was a long-distance telephone operator. While alchemists could change lead into gold, this good friend could make a 45-minute long distance phone call cost the same as a 5-minute long distance phone call. Lorraine and Jerry were married in June 1954, their only child, Nancy, arrived in July of 1955. Right up until Jerry died, he claimed Lorraine at 93 was still as beautiful as the day he married her., In addition to his wife Lorraine, Jerry is survived by his daughter, Nancy Cooper, and her husband, Rick Kustina, of Seattle. Additional family left to mourn "Uncle Bud" are his three nephews and their respective families: Steve Cooper of Portland, OR; Brian Cooper of Manassas, VA; and Michael Cooper of Washington, DC. Memorial contributions can be made to Hospice of Spokane (509-456-0438) or Temple Beth Shalom (509-747-3304). Special mention must be made of the professional and loving care he received from the Veterans Home medical and ancillary staff.

Ida Kay Greathouse

Ida Kay GREATHOUSE It is with great sadness that the Frye Art Museum announces the passing of Ida Kay Greathouse, Director Emerita of the Frye Art Museum, on Thursday, January 6, 2011. Mrs. Greathouse and her husband, Walser, were friends of Charles and Emma Frye, the founders of the Frye Art Mu seum. Mr. Greathouse, a Rhodes scholar and graduate of Oxford, served as the Fryes' attorney, ex ecutor of the Frye estate, and first director (1952-1966) of the Charles and Emma Frye Free Public Art Museum, as it was then called. Following Walser Greathouse's death, Mrs. Greathouse took the helm as Director of the Frye. Throughout her nearly thirty year career, she was committed to protecting the legacy of Charles and Emma Frye. Kay Greathouse continued her husband's focus on American art, enhanced the Frye Founding Collection's holdings of French paintings, and moved into new collecting directions by acquiring significant paintings by early- twentieth-century Russian- trained émigrés and twentieth- century Alaskan landscapes. The Frye Art Museum honored Mrs. Greathouse's role in the history of the museum this past summer with Ida Kay Great house: A Tribute, an exhibition which featured paintings collect ed during her tenure, from 1966 until her retirement in 1993. The exhibition demonstrated the key role played by Mrs. Greathouse in moving the Museum to showcase not only European art but also 20th century American art. A lover of music, dance, and travel, especially to New York City and Hong Kong, Mrs Great house most recently made her home at Horizon House, located in the First Hill neighborhood of Seattle-just blocks from her beloved Frye. Mrs. Greathouse is survived by members of her family, including her nephew, Henry Hawkins, Jr., of Bellingham, WA and many, many friends from far and wide. A public memorial will be held at the Frye Art Museum on Tuesday, February 8, 2011, the 59th anniversary of the founding of the of the Frye, at 11:30 am. All are invited to attend.

John Vander Giessen

Lynden resident, John Vander Giessen, age 94, went home to his Heavenly Father Thursday, January 27, 2011. He was born September 28, 1916 in Coffee Creek, Montana to James and Anna (Zwaanstra) Vander Giessen. He moved to Lynden with his family in the 1920's and lived all of his adult life in Whatcom County. John attended Lynden Christian schools; held numerous jobs in the Lynden area and traveled to California where he learned the refrigeration trade while working with his uncle John. He returned to the Lynden area, where he met the love of his life Marie Lagerwey. They were married January 24, 1940 and walked side by side for 71 years. Following their marriage, John worked on the John Pilon farm and believed farming was his calling. In 1943 he purchased his own farm in the Custer area; beginning with 18 cows. Over the next 10 years, John transformed this farm from its poor condition into a progressive dairy; utilizing irrigation and a fertilizer program. He proudly built the second milking parlor in Whatcom County. Unfortunately John broke his back and was no longer able to maintain his farm. God had a new plan for him as dairy milk refrigeration became a new venture in the 1950's. John utilized his refrigeration training working with coolers for milk cans and later milk storage equipment. He maintained his connection to the dairy industry and this also provided opportunity to work with his two sons in the dairy equipment industry. John saw the dairy industry progress from milk being cooled by well water shipped in a milk can to the sale of milk tanks ranging from 100 to over 6000 gallons. He was proud to have been a refrigeration engineer at Cascade Cold Storage, working for his friend John Harkoff for 17 years, while operating his own refrigeration business Vander Giessen Refrigeration-later known as Sunset Western Inc. In retirement, John and Marie enjoyed 26 winters in Southern California where many wonderful times were shared with family and friends. John was a member of First Reformed Church. John is survived by his beloved wife of 71 years, Marie. John and Marie were blessed with five children: sons, Dale (Seki) Vander Giessen of Blaine and Jim (Karen) Vander Giessen of Puyallup; daughters, Andrea (Kingma) Hendricks and husband Harvey of Lynden, Annette Scholten of Dana Point, CA and Karen (Darrel) Timmer of Lynden. John was very proud of all his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his sister, Ada Vos; sisters-in-law, Alida Crabtree and Claus Schouten and brothers-in-law, Marinus and Matt Lagerwey. He was preceded in death by his parents; sisters, Kay Gosser and Grace Van Ry; brothers Lawrence, Henry and Don; brothers-in-law John, Bill, Arie, Gerrit, Johan and Nick; sisters-in-law Minnie Konyenbelt and Katherine De Koster and granddaughter, Sheri Scholten.

Marlene "Malka" Fricks

Marlene "Malka" FRICKS Marlene 'Malka' 'Kitty' Katz Fricks, 76, of Woodinville, WA, died January 13, 2011 at her home in Woodinville, Washington, of lung cancer. Malka was born October 15, 1934 in Brooklyn, New York to Leah Newman Katz and Harry Katz. She graduated from High School at age 16 and received her Bache lor of Arts Degree from Hunter College in NYC at age 20. As an adventurous young adult, Malka honed her foreign lan guage proficiency traveling and living in Mexico, the Caribbean, North Africa, and Europe. Over the years, she also traveled ex tensively throughout the United States and Canada. A trip to Seattle for the 1962 World's Fair forever changed the course of this NYC Spanish teach er's life. It was there that Malka met her future husband, Patton Cotnam Fricks (deceased, 2001), and they were married Leap Year Day, February 29, 1964 in Anchorage, Alaska. Malka had always wanted to marry a cow boy, but in Pat Fricks she found the ultimate Renaissance Man. In Alaska, Malka taught Spanish and French, and she and Pat took to the skies on Pat's many bush piloting adventures. Together, they survived the Great Alaska Earthquake of 1964. Malka al ways remembered that a number of Corning Ware pieces received as bridal shower gifts did not fare very well in the quake, and it tick led her that the Corning Company replaced the entire set! After moving to Seattle, Malka received a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Washington. She enjoyed a long career with the Lake Washington School District as a teacher of Spanish and Health and as a Junior High and High School Counselor. Pat and Malka spent many beau tiful summers together cruising Puget Sound and exploring Amer ican and Canadian ports. Malka's favorite onshore hobbies included dancing - whenever and wherever, playing softball with the coed team of Bellevue Senior Center, and acting in various productions at the Northshore Senior Center where she also served on the Board of Directors. A love of the arts emerged early for Malka, whose desire to sing opera unfortunately culminated with high school chorus. Undaunted, she continued her involvement with the arts throughout her life, and was a member of Woodinville's original Public Arts Advisory Committee. She also served on the original Parks and Recreation Commis sion for the City of Woodinville. Other affiliations included the Hearing Loss Association of America, the Red Hat Society Bothell Babes, and the Queen City Yacht Club Tarettes of which she was a life member. Malka is survived by three Step children: John Fricks, Judy Zybach, and Jacob Fricks, and three grandchildren, Mathew Thompson, Marcus Thompson, and Chelsea Zybach. Two of her stepchildren, Dick Fricks and Nancy Thompson, are deceased. Malka's sister, Marilyn Pellach, died in 1962. She is survived by her dear friend and companion, John Coughlin, with whom she shared many years and many adventures. Above all else, Malka enjoyed and valued her friends. She cher ished connections that spanned many decades and also treasured those of more recent vintage. Malka's friends and colleagues have always appreciated her multifaceted intelligence, her quick wit, her fun and flamboyant style, her forthrightness, her creativity and the totally unique individual she was. Personally and professionally, Malka Fricks touched many lives. Hopefully she knows that, 'Frankly, Scarlett, you are loved and you are missed'. A celebration of Malka's life is being planned at the Northshore Senior Center, February 27, at 3:00 pm. Contributions in Malka's memory may be made to the Northshore Senior Center or a charity of one's choice.

Patricia L. Cook, better known to most as Patti, died quietly on December 24, 2010 with her adoring younger brother, Jeff McFall, at her side. She lived with Alzheimer's disease for several years. She joins her son, Christopher Steven Cook, who died when he was 2 days old in 1971. She leaves her husband of 40 years, Steven M. Cook, daughter Melissa S. Rundlett, son-in-law Jeff Rundlett, grandchildren Irish Lurvey and Jeff Rundlett, Jr. She also leaves siblings, in-laws and extended family members, who all miss her greatly. Patti was an LPN in the mid to late 1970s, eventually moving onto other careers. She last worked with Tacoma Radiology Associates, retiring in 2001 when her husband Steven accepted a position in Baltimore, Maryland. They returned to the Northwest in mid 2008 after Steven retired. One of her passions was weaving, which she took up in the early 1980s. Sadly, Alzheimer's robbed her of that joy. She leaves many beautiful pieces, which serve as a constant reminder of her weaving talent and creativity. She was a spitfire, in her daughter Melissa's words. She was outspoken and would speak her mind unwaveringly. All who came to know her have been touched by her deeply and she will be greatly missed.

S. Dolores Marie Armstrong SNJM

Born in Seattle, WA, October 7, 1908, Amadea was the youngest of ten children of Kathleen Sweeney and William Armstrong. She knew herself to be well loved by her entire family and that became the foundation for her life. Amadea attended Immaculate Elementary School, graduated from Holy Names Academy in Seattle in 1926, and from Holy Names Normal School. After some trips to California and some teaching in the public school system there, she entered the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary in 1930, pronouncing her vows two years later. She was the fourth of the Armstrong sisters to enter the Holy Names Community. They were a formidable foursome, strong gifted women!, Now known as Sister Dolores Marie, she continued her teaching career with the seventh and eighth grade students of Our Lady of Lourdes School in Spokane and St. Philip Neri School in Portland. In 1940, she became a student at Catholic University, earning her M.A. in Psychology. She returned to teach at Holy Names College in Spokane and Marylhurst College near Portland, and in Seattle at St. Mary's, where she was principal from 1948-55, and St. James for one year. In 1956, Sister again returned to study, this time at Stanford University, earning her PhD in 1959 in Counseling Psychology. Sister's college teaching included classes in psychology and sociology, as well as numerous clinics and workshops, in locations from Marylhurst, Holy Names and Fort Wright, Colleges of the Holy Names, to the University of San Diego. Sister Dolores Marie was invited, in 1959-60, to be one of the all-American faculty to teach at the first Sister-Formation College at Marillac College in Normandie, MO. Head of the Psychology Department, she was responsible for writing syllabi, compiling the catalogue, and working with the other department heads to create a four-year Liberal Arts College., Ever the consummate professional, Sister Dolores Marie continued to blend her teaching career with her counseling career, responding to requests for speaking engagements, clinics and private practice. In 1975, Sister focused on the counseling aspect of her life as a court psychologist until 1985 and an alcohol counselor, both in Seattle, until 1998. If she saw one of her clients on the streets of downtown Seattle, she would offer a reminder that who that person was in God's eyes was good reason to live out of deep self-respect. In 1998, she moved to Convent of the Holy Names in Spokane to retire, although her clients were reluctant to let her leave them, and called regularly for support by phone! She never did lose her penchant for challenging us to think about serious issues, or opportunities for personal growth and development., Perhaps most revealing of her heart was her tearful response to the gift of beautiful red roses from her religious leaders on the occasion of her 100th birthday: "For me? They must have heard that I worked with the poor!", Sister Dolores Marie belonged to several professional organizations, among them are Psi Chi, national honorary in psychology; Pi Lambda Theta, national honorary in Education, and the American Psychological Association., Sister died January 26, 2011, in Spokane. Although she has no living siblings, she is remembered lovingly by several generations of her nieces and nephews, and by her religious community., Funeral Mass is scheduled for 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, February 2, at the Convent of the Holy Names, 2911 West Fort Wright Drive, Spokane, Washington. Memorial gifts may be made to the Sisters of the Holy Names Retirement Fund, 2911 West Fort Wright Drive, Spokane, WA 99224. Arrangements entrusted to

Vernon J. "Bill" Titmus

Vernon "Bill" Titmus, was taken suddenly from us on January 21, 2011 after a short illness. Born August 17, 1932 in Frontenac, Kansas, he resided most of his life in the Seattle, WA area until he retired and split his time between Coulee City, WA, Bullhead City, AZ, and Las Vegas, NV., Bill never met a person that he couldn't befriend with his outgoing personality, natural charm and ability to get nearly everyone to laugh with him as he teased, kidded, harassed and harangued all that he encountered. All who knew him were touched by his unique way of getting others to open up, find the joy that life had to offer, and spend time (the most precious gift of all) with those that they love. During his career as a teacher/coach he made a profound and lasting impact on the lives of countless young people. Even years after the fact, many of his students and team members looked him up to give thanks and pay tribute to him for his kindness and leadership., His primary love was his family, and he was blessed with having two: In Washington, with wife of 45 years, Helen (deceased); their daughter, Toni; son, Terry and his wife, Caroline; grandkids, Josh (great-grandson, William), Jason, Braden and his wife, Jennifer (great-grandkids, Kolee and Connor), Nathan and Dakota. In Las Vegas, with wife of 11 years, Dorothy "Dottie"; her son, Mike (deceased); and her daughter, Stephanie; grandkids, Tiffany (great-grandkids, Ethan and Violet), Jake (great-grandson, Spencer), Kaimen, Cooper and Kayla., The entire family enjoyed his competitiveness in everything from card games with ever changing rules to fishing with two hooks, his giving ways and his unbridled love. Bill truly danced as though no one was watching and sang as if no one was listening every single day. More often than not however, he found himself surrounded by others attracted to and inspired by his example of dancing through the kitchen to be first in line, fishing with unequaled enthusiasm (he was NEVER outfished), or passing around the microphone on his karaoke machine. No matter what he was doing, abundant smiles and laughter were there as well., Our lives were all greatly enriched by our connection to Bill, our Dad, Husband, Grandpa, Great Grandpa, Teacher, Coach, and Friend. His legacy will live on through the generations that his gentle hands helped to form. We will miss him everyday and remember him with love and smiles., Memorial Service will be held at 1 p.m., February 20, 2011, at Olympic View Middle School, Mukilteo WA., For more information, contact Terry Titmus at t_titmus@hotmail.com
