Helen Gloria Borth Sackmann

Helen Gloria Borth Sackmann passed away at the age of 86 on April 13, 2012, in Ritzville, WA. "Gloria", to everyone who knew her, was born Aug. 1, 1925, on a farm four miles north of Lind, WA. The farm was where her grandparents Johannes and Helena Wahl Borth settled when they arrived as German immigrants from Russia in 1903. Her parents were Rudolph and Barbara (Ottmar) Borth. Gloria was one of six children: Eleanor (Pence), Victor, Cleve, Barbara (VanBuren), and Marjorie who died as an infant. In 1929, Gloria's family moved to a farm north of Paha. She attended school in Paha until the 8th grade and graduated from Lind High School in 1941. She married Reinhold Sackmann on Dec. 28, 1945. Gloria had a happy, busy life. She and Reinhold farmed the place where she was born while raising three children: Steven, Sidney and Carol. She spent a lot of her time serving her church, accompanying the congregation and choir for over 50 years. She served on the church council, Ladies Aid, Lind Alumni Association and the Adams County Historical Society. She enjoyed crocheting, sewing, gardening, writing, reading, cooking, photography and oil painting. Her greatest joy was spending time with her family. After Reinhold's death in 1983, she moved into Lind and became an avid historian and genealogist, devoting countless hours to researching and compiling the history and heritage of her families. Gloria met Cal Johnson of Moses Lake in 1991. They enjoyed a loving relationship, traveling and spending time together, while each maintained their own home. Health issues prompted Gloria to move to Rose Garden Estates in Ritzville in the fall of 2008. Gloria is survived by Cal, sons Steven and wife Susan (Miller) of Lind, and Sidney and wife Debbie (Jansen) of Moses Lake, and daughter Carol and husband Paul Simonson of Ritzville. There are eight grandchildren and ten great grandchildren. Gloria was preceded in death by her husband Reinhold in 1983, and sister Eleanor in 2003.

Anne "Yvonne" LaBar Victor

"My Darling, My Darling" Yes Mama, after 33 long years, you and Daddy are finally dancing again to Andy Williams and Perry Como music. Our much loved Mother passed away quietly July 18, 2013. Anne "Yvonne" LaBar Victor was born Dec. 17, 1930, on the "Idaho side" of The Newport Hospital. Mama spent her early childhood years at Spirit Lake, ID, the small logging town where her father, Irving LaBar worked at the local sawmill. The family moved to Spokane when Mom was a young teenager. There she attended Marycliff High School for girls. At the age of 17, while working at Cliff Berry's Modern Maid Ice Cream Shoppe on Grand Blvd, she met the love of her life, Richard "Dick" Victor. They immediately fell in love. Dad was working at the time for Chuck Shields' Chevron Station, just up the hill on Grand Blvd. In 1957 they moved to Moses Lake so Dad could pursue his career in teaching. Mom took a job at The Doctor's Clinic, where she worked for over 20 years. She then worked at Columbia Basin Eye Clinic until she retired. Mom spent her last years living at Emeritus Hearthstone in Moses Lake. She had recently moved back to Spokane and resided at Moran Vista with her beloved cat Annie. Yvonne is survived by son Steve (Ellen) Victor of Spokane, daughter Cathy (Dustan) Knauss of Moses Lake, son David (Farand) Victor of Spokane, and son Rich (Peggy) Victor of Moses Lake. "Grandma Uh-Oh" as she was affectionately called by her grandchildren and great-grandchildren is also survived by grandsons Aaron, Dustan, Nicholas, and granddaughters Kim, Melanie, Kellie and Stephanie. She also leaves numerous great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. Mom was the last of the "LaBar clan" from Spirit Lake. Her brothers Harlan and Don, and sisters Pat, Janet and Mary all preceded her in death. Our Mama was an amazing cook and loved having all of her family over to share with her in fun, laughter and her many special meals. Per Mom's request, there will be no funeral or service. The family will gather soon at Spirit Lake to celebrate her amazing love and life. We miss you so much Mama. We find comfort however, knowing that you are once again with Dad.
