Emily Jane Sledge

September 23, 1929 - June 21, 2020

Our mom, Jane, was a loving and caring mother to us.

She was born in Helena, Montana to Ruth and George Bracher. Then, they moved to Oregon. There, mom met dad, David Sledge, and they married on August 5,1946. They had four children.

Preceded in death is her husband, David and son, David Bruce.

Jane is survived by daughters, Barbara Stockwell (Mel), Marsha Kelson, and Susan Harmon. 14 grandchildren,17 great grandchildren, and 2 great-great grandchildren.

When we were children mom worked at the Marion Home, taking the summer off so she could take us to pick berries and beans. She was teaching us working skills. Later Jane worked at the Santiam Hospital for many years. Mom had a love for flowers so she made sure wherever she lived she would have a flower garden.

The family would like to thank Brookstone Memory Care for taking special care of mom.  Memorial contribution can be made to Serenity Hospice https://serenityhospice.org/  or Alzheimer's Association https://www.alz.org/orswwa . Memorial service will be held at a later date.
