Marjory Claire Bush Foley

Aug. 12, 1930 – Jan. 14, 2021

Marjory Claire Bush Foley passed away in her home on Jan. 14, 2021 at the age of 90.  She was born in Kennewick, Washington August 12, 1930 to brighten up The Depression for her Dad and Mom, Clyde and Lois Gammon Bush and her sister, Clydene Bush.  Due to The Depression, her father lost his lumberyard managing job in Kennewick and the family moved to Portland where he managed small neighborhood grocery stores for three years.  When Marjory was five, they moved to Sisters where Clyde again managed a grocery store until he built his own store in 1939.

Life in Sisters was idyllic for kids in those early years when they could wander all over town or in the woods with no worries.  Many of Lois Bush’s relatives lived in Sisters at that time, including five of her aunts one uncle plus spouses, first cousins, and second cousins galore.  What a great and happy place to be!

            Marjory attended high school in Redmond and participated in many activities.  She was editor of the school paper and graduated in 1948 as class valedictorian.  She then attended the University of Oregon and again was active on the school paper, The Oregon Daily Emerald.  She was a member of Chi Omega Sorority and of Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society.

             In 1952 she graduated with an education degree and moved to The Dalles, OR to take a job teaching high school English.  She met her future husband, Thomas E. Foley and they were married on Oct 3, 1954.   Marjory focused her attention on raising 4 children and assisting Tom in running several local restaurants including the Hand Out and Spookys Pizza Parlor which they built in 1966.  She was a member of UCC Congregational Church and active in many volunteer organizations including: AAUW, Chapter BF of PEO, Campfire Girls, SMART and CGCC Foundation Scholarship Committee.

            She was known in the community for her warmth and generosity.  The Foley home was a welcoming place for neighborhood kids and groups to gather.

            In 1981 Marjory and Tom purchased a cherry orchard in The Dalles and in 1984 expanded the orchard to Dallesport WA.  In the orchard off seasons they enjoyed travel and took many cruises around the world.

            Marjory is survived by her husband of 66 years, Tom Foley, sons Tim (Wendy) of Hood River, Bill of White Salmon, John (Sheri) of Dallesport, and Annette Byers of The Dalles.  She had 3 grandsons: Clint Foley (Kelley) of Eugene, Grayson Byers (Shelby) of Stanfield and Tanner Byers of Bend and 3 great grandchildren: Dylan and Ruby Foley of Eugene and Hays Byers of Stanfield.

            The family wishes to extend their deep appreciation to Heart of Hospice and Bobbi’s Way for the great care and compassion they extended to Marjory and her family.  In lieu of flowers the family suggests donations be sent to the American Cancer Society or Heart of Hospice.

A celebration of life will be held at a future time.

To know Jack was to love Jack. 

Jack was born April 1st, 1928, in Ashe County North Carolina to Roby Frank Hardy Osborne and Carrie Inez Phillips Osborne. Jack did not have the easiest childhood, but he always remained positive and made the best out of whatever situation he was in. Growing up he loved riding his horse Champion, playing football, and reading. 

Jack served in the United States Navy as an AN1 working on airplanes. He was stationed in Adak, Alaska and Corpus Christi, Texas. 

After he left the Navy he met Florence Blevins and they were married in 1952 in Elkton, Maryland. They spent many years together and both had a passion for putting their families first. On family vacations Jack always told his kids "We will have fun if it kills us." They always welcomed family and friends with food, coffee, and laughter. 

Jack had a lot of different jobs. He did farm work, factory work, freight driving. He worked at Northwest Aluminum for over 20 years. Even in retirement Jack always gave 110% at whatever he did. He loved having company over and was famous for his pancake breakfasts, other than that he loved being outside doing yard work and cleaning up the neighborhood around him. 

He was preceded in death by his wife Florence Ruby Osborne in 2006. He is survived by his children, Jack Osborne Jr. and Jane Ranslam both of The Dalles; grandchildren, Taunia Canchola, Ginger Ranslam, Travis Osborne, and Dylan Osborne all of The Dalles, and Jack Osborne III of Salem, Oregon. He also has 10 great grandchildren and countless other family members and friends who will miss him dearly. 

Condolences may be sent to Jane Ranslam at 4405 Highway 30 W Sp 503 The Dalles, OR 97058. 

If you would like to make any donations in his name his two favorite charities were "Boys Town" and "St.Joseph's Indian School"
