Linda de Vore, passed away on Thursday March 31, 2022, at the age of 78 at Kaiser Permanente in Clackamas, OR. She was born on July 4, 1943, in Norwich, New York to LTC Harold H. and Jean A. Mattice. Having her birthday on July 4th she would enjoy birthdays like everyone else; cake and presents. However, being the 4th of July there were parades and fireworks. She knew this was just for her birthday!
Married on December 22, 1961, to Rogene Emmil de Vore in the chapel at White Sands Missile Range New Mexico. Linda was a mother to Debbie Jean (Calvin), Eugene Emmil (Jennifer), Lisa Marrie (Thomas) and a proud grandmother to 6 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren.
Although she was fantastic at home sales with Tri-Chem and exceled in the work force being everything from a bookkeeper, office manager to working for IRS. If you asked her what her greatest accomplishment was it was being a domestic engineer.
At a time before 'Google' and learning from 'YouTube' she taught herself how to cook, sew, knit, play the guitar and the organ. Linda was so gifted at knitting she was considered a professional and had her own business called Linda knits. Linda also beta tested knitting software and judged at county and state fairs.
Survived by her husband Rogene, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was a devoted wife and domestic engineer and now walks with God. She will be deeply missed.
