Edna Wright Alden
Mrs. Edna Wright Alden, a twelve-year resident of Bend, died November 18 after a short illness. She is survived by three sons, two daughters, one step-daughter, 19 grandchildren, and 12 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, Sterling (Bud) Alden, in 1990.
Survivors include Melody Alden Kasl and her husband, Paul, of Lafayette, Ore.; Doug Alden and his wife, Ginger, of Marietta, Ga.; Rick Alden and his wife, Kathy, of Melba, Id.; Wendy Alden Hemingway and her husband, Collins, of Bend, Ore.; Travis Alden and his wife, Debra, of Damascus, Ore.; and Bonnie Murphree of Junction City, Ore.
A native of Connecticut, Mrs. Alden worked in a war production factory during World War II. She met her husband, Sterling, a veteran of 66 combat missions as a turret gunner in the A-20 aircraft, as the war came to an end.
After a whirlwind courtship, the couple married in Daytona Beach, Fla. Their honeymoon began with a train ride to Montana, the beginning of a life in which they crisscrossed the continent as Mr. Alden pursued his career as a band leader and entertainer. Mrs. Alden was a homemaker and occasional business partner.
They lived in Montana, Connecticut, Oregon, Idaho, Washington state, and Georgia, and spent ten years in Alaska when it was still a territory. Their residence was often determined by its proximity to a mountain stream, where Mr. Alden would fly-fish and Mrs. Alden would read. Each of their five children was born in a different state.
During retirement, they settled in the Portland area. After the death of her husband, Mrs. Alden moved to Bend in 2002.
A memorial service is scheduled at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 28, at the VFW Hall at 7118 S. E. Fern Ave., Portland. Private interment will follow at the Willamette National Cemetery alongside her husband. The date marks their 69th wedding anniversary.
Memorials may be made to Partners in Care Hospice, 2075 NE Wyatt Court, Bend, OR 97701.
