| 2419 | Obituary: Seward resident Robert "Bob" Donald Wilson, 75, died July 8, 2008 at the home of his sister in Anchorage shortly after being diagnosed with lung cancer. Robert was born July 5, 1933, to the late Charles "Whitey" and Emma Wilson in Hanford, Calif. In the early 1940s, he traveled with his parents and younger brother by steamship to Seward and then north to Eklutna, where his father worked at the hydroelectric plant. The family later moved to Third Avenue in Anchorage and then to Clay Street, which is now West 25th Avenue, in Spenard. Although his youth was spent, at times, in California, Washington and Oregon, his love of the outdoors and all it had to offer came from his years at Eklutna and Spenard, where he was allowed to freely roam, explore and indulge in boyhood adventures. When he graduated from Anchorage High School in 1951, he spent a summer in Whittier working for the railroad. After deciding that Whittier was not the place for him, he attempted several ventures trying to fulfill his dreams. One of the more notable attempts landed him and his partners at Trapper's Den for a brief time in the mid-1950s. The venture proved to be a bust but the adventure was priceless. Some other places of employment were Sunshine Market, Piggly Wiggly, SandF Foodland, Market Basket, and Peterkin Distributors. While working at Piggly Wiggly, he met his first wife, Judy Finke, whom he married in 1959. The union produced two children, Roberta and Randall. Family life gave him an opportunity to share his love of the outdoors and the wilderness of Alaska with his children. When Anchorage became too populated and no longer held its appeal, he moved to the Kenai Peninsula. In the early 1970s, after years in the grocery business and after marrying his second wife, Eddie Mae, the two moved the family to Seward and put their resources together to become partners in a venture called "Bob's Market." The store site was located a few miles north of town. Although that original store building was destroyed by fire not many years after its opening, the couple's determination and resolve led them to keep and restore the business. Soon after the fire, a smaller version of Bob's Market was operating out of the Brown and Hawkins Building on Fourth Avenue in downtown Seward. A second store was eventually built at Mile 1.5 of the Seward Highway and was also operated by Bob and Eddie until its sale in the mid 1990s. The Brown and Hawkins location continued to thrive and proved successful until its closure in 2000. In retirement, Bob shared happy times with his wife enjoying their home on Bear Creek. The beauty and seclusion of their surroundings gave them many opportunities to indulge in their love of nature and animals. Family pets were always a part of their menagerie and over the years included dogs, birds, chickens, rabbits and a turtle named "Speedy." Bob was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Eddie Mae, in November 2005. He is survived by his daughter and son-in-law, Roberta and Harold Ryden; son, Randall Wilson; brother, Charles Wilson; sisters, Maxine Ford and Rose Korpi; brother-in-law, Doug Hamlin; and special friends, the Sherry Perry family and the Rick Hoogland family of Seward. Memorial donations may be made to the Seward Senior Center, P.O. Box 1195, Seward, AK 99664 or to the Pioneers of Alaska, Igloo #9, P.O. Box 571, Seward, AK 99664.

A graveside service will be held at 2:30 P.M., Sunday, February 5, 2023 at Reliance Baptist Church. Shana was born in Bryan, Texas on January 16, 1971 to Gregory and Linda Shirley. Shana lived in Bryan within the Reliance Community for most of her life. Shana's achievements have been rewarded with trophies but by our appreciation of her talent to give every bit of herself in her work, her gatherings, and her contributions to others. Shana truly had a heart bigger than Texas. She was a sister to everyone and often paid forward the blessings she was bestowed with. Shana was a daughter, sister, niece, mom, but she was so proud to become a Nana! Shana was the life of any gathering with her huge smile and her laugh. She loved to be with her family and friedns and made sure to let them know how much she loved them. Birthdays, Christmas, Valentine's, no matter the occasion, she always had a little gift to give everyone. She always had others in her thoughts and ejoyed making others smile. Shana loved to sing karaoke and she enjoyed riding her motorcycle when she was able to do so. Shana's motto was: Hugs, Love & Smiles Shana was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2017. As treatments made it harder for her to be too far from home, she found a group of friends in our neighborhood and the "porch pals" were formed. We spent many evenings laughing, crying and helping each other through the things that life threw our way. Every loss and every victory, we supported each other. Shana has had many struggles in her battle with ovarian cancer over the past six years. Some of that time was spent fighting side by side with her mother who lost her battle with breast cancer in 2020. In 2021, Shana also lost her one and only son, Cameron during her battle with cancer. She still managed to fight her own battle with strength and dignity. Although she has lost her battle, she has truly won the war. She is no longer bound by this worls and the suffering she had endured. Shana has made her final journey HOME and is with her loved ones that have gone before her. Shana was preceded in death by her son, Cameron Ogden; mother, Linda Shirley; great-niece, Arianna Battelle; and her grandparents. She is survived by the biggest joy in her life, granddaughter, Delilah Ogden; daughter-in-love, Heather Ogden; father, Gregory Shirley; mother-in-love, Hazel Ogden; sister, Marquel Knapp; nephew, Richard Shirley-Salinas (girlfriend, Dealyn Hedger); niece, Elizabeth Knapp; uncles, aunts, cousins and an uncountable number of friends that are considered as family.

She and Otis, her partner in marriage for 53 years, prayed at the altar as she led what would be her final public prayer. Lucy spent most of her life championing peace between races and religions. Special appreciation is extended to the entire staff of Willis-Knighton Medical Center for their care and personal attention. Family members celebrating her life include, husband Otis; children, Dan and Pam; grandchildren, Jonathan and Kristina; great-granddaughter, Lillian; and sisters, Elaine Akins; Esther Beeman; and Carolyn Hermes along with numerous nieces and nephews whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
