Richard E. Keeney

Richard E. Keeney, 86, longtime Warden resident, passed away at his home on Feb. 7, 2007, following a long battle with cancer. R.E. "Dick" Keeney was born on Oct.13, 1920, in Coleman County, Texas to Thomas Ernest and Georgia Lobstein Keeney. He grew up east of Coleman, Texas on land originally purchased by his grandfather, Isaac Keeney. He was baptized in Jim Ned Creek in 1934. In 1939 Keeney joined the U.S. Army at Ft. Bliss, Texas. His duty assignment sent him to Seattle, Wash. where he met Mary N. Neergaard. They were married on June 6, 1943. He was discharged from the Army as a Staff Sergeant in 1945. Dick and Mary spent seven years in Seattle where two children were born to them, John Richard and Georgia Ann. In 1950, the family moved to Grandview, Wash. where Dick took up farming until 1962. Two more children were born to them while in Grandview; Mary Christine and Kathryn Elizabeth. In 1964, the family moved to Othello where Dick held the position of general manager for Labbee Mint Farm's Columbia Basin farming operation. On Nov. 10, 1973, Dick married LaDawn Woolley Maw and soon after moved to Warden where the couple built a home and started a machine shop business. Dick entered the political arena in 1992 when he was elected mayor of Warden and served the city in that capacity through December 2003. His position as mayor of Warden led Dick into many areas of civic service. He was a member and chairman of the North Columbia Community Action Council, chairman of the Big Bend Economic Development Council and chairman and founder of Grant Transit Authority. In 1995, The Washington State DOT honored Dick "for outstanding service in promoting public transportation in Washington State" and in 1999 his name was added to the Wall of Fame by the Washington State Public Transportation and Rail Conference. Dick served as president and eight-year member of the Big Bend Resource Conservation and Development Council and was a 10-year member of the board of directors for Cities Insurance Association of Washington. He was most recently Ombudsman of the area's Aging & Adult Care Agency. On March 15, 2004, American Legion Post 209 cited Dick for over 50 years of continuous Legion membership. He was also a member of the Warden Kiwanis Club. Dick was an avid fisherman, fishing various lakes, rivers and reservoirs around the Northwest with his longtime friend, Bill Bisnet. One of his dreams was accomplished when he landed a salmon on the Deschutes River of north central Oregon. Dick was preceded in death by his former wife Mary in 1993. He is survived by wife LaDawn of Warden, son John Richard of grass Valley, Ore., daughters Georgia Bruce of Kennewick, Cris Nielson of Eagle Mountain, Utah and Kate Banaszak of Rapid City, S.D.; Son Richard John Sherbon of Puyallup, Wash.; stepchildren LuAnn Presnell of Othello, Steve Maw of Ronan, Mont., Stacy Maw of Candian, Okla., and Duane Maw of St. George, Utah, numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. A final visitation will be held Tuesday, Feb. 13, 2007, at 9:30 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. with church services at 11 a.m. at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Warden. Arrangements are in care of Stevens Funeral Chapel, Othello.

Misao Kume Harada, 87

Misao Kume Harada, 87, passed away at Kalispell Regional Hospital in Kalispell on Saturday, Nov. 13, 2010. Misao was born June 19, 1923, in Wolf Point to Magoshiro Kume and Hatsuye Nakagawa. Misao attended schools in Williston, N.D., and graduated from Escondido High School in California in 1941. In 1942, during World War II, Misao and her sister Yoshina Flossie were placed in a Japanese internment camp in Poston, Ariz., and were there for three years. She was allowed to leave the camp early if she moved away from the coast so she moved back to North Dakota. In 1947, she married William Dido Harada in Wolf Point. They owned and operated Dido s Cafe in Havre until 1974. She spent the rest of her working days at the Eagle s Manor retirement home until she fully retired. Misao lived in Havre until 2008 when she moved to Kalispell to live with her daughter. Misao was very artistic in oil and watercolor painting. Crafts, sewing and cake decorating were all hobbies that she enjoyed. She made special birthday cakes for all of her grandchildren. During family gatherings, her Japanese cooking was always a highlight. She was the energetic center of her family. Shopping was one of her favorite activities and she could never pass up a good bargain. She enjoyed traveling and visiting family around the country. Her children and grandchildren brought her a lot of pride with all of their accomplishments over the years. In her later years as she watched TV or read she would always have her faithful companion Oliver, the family poodle, on her lap. She enjoyed staying well informed with current news events and was especially interested in politics. She was very generous and was concerned with the welfare of others. Recently, she made contributions to have water wells drilled in two Philippine Island villages, so that the people could have clean drinking water. Misao had a very strong faith in God and was a devout member of the church. We are all saddened that she is no longer with us, but take comfort in knowing that she is in heaven. Misao was preceded in death by her parents, Magoshiro Kume and Hatsuye Nakagawa; her husband, William Harada; sisters, Yoshino Requilman, Yukiko Kume and Cecile Kume; and brothers, George Kume, Mike Kume and Paul Thomas Kayaki.
