Audrey D. Keeland 1930 - 2021
Audrey D. Keeland passed away to our Heavenly Father February 5, 2021, at Willamette Valley Medical Center in McMinnville, Oregon. Audrey was born May 21, 1930, in Sparta, Missouri. Raised in a household with nine brothers and sisters, she was known for standing up for herself and conversing with everyone. Audrey married Leonard Keeland in 1947, and they were happily married until his passing in 2003.
She was a cook at the Russel logging camp in Yamhill, where her husband logged and helped with the Tillamook Burn forest fire. They bought a fixer house near Carlton Lake for $10 in 1957. Although the house was washed out by the Christmas Flood of 1964, buying and rehabilitating the house was one of her favorite stories to tell.
