Culver resident Alma Elizabeth Gregg died Dec. 25, 2002, at the age of 80.
Mrs. Gregg was born Nov. 26, 1922, in Bridgeport, Ore., to parents Vance and Alma (Lee) Richardson.
Her mother died of pneumonia in 1925, and after her father died in a sawmill accident in Dallas, Ore., she came to live with her aunt and uncle, John and Etta Lee in Madras. She worked hard during her teen years helping the uncle and aunt on their farm, and one summer working at the Priday Ranch doing housework and preparing meals.
She graduated from Madras Union High School in 1941. Following high school she worked at the Horse Heaven Mine in Ashwood cooking for the miners. Later she moved to Madras where she delivered mail to the Grizzly area. In 1942 she began working at the Agriculture Stabilization Conservation office in Madras.
On March 18, 1967, she married Herschel W. Gregg, and she retired from her ASC job in 1968. When Mr. Gregg retired from farming that February, they moved from the farm into Madras.
Survivors include her son, Allen R. Gregg of Columbus, Neb.; and daughter, Sallye Morrison of Caldwell, Idaho; seven grandchildren; and 14 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Herschel, a son David Gregg, three brothers, and two sisters.
A funeral service was held Dec. 30, at the Madras Conservative Baptist Church, with arrangements under the direction of Bel-Air Colonial Funeral Home of Madras. [58550]
