He moved to Oregon in 1988 to be near his daughter, Donna Rae Leavitt. Mr. Smith was born June 23, 1895 in Joy, Minnesota, to John and Delilah (Melugin) Smith. In 1912, traveling by rail, his family moved to Thorp. While his mother supervised the younger children in the passenger coach, Ray and his father cared for the horses and cattle in the livestock cars. On November 15, 1916, he married Allie Dell Morrison, daughter of Linn and Mary Emma (Mattox) Morrison. They made their home in Thorp for many years. Ray was a skilled mechanic and boiler man and worked with machinery in various jobs throughout his life. In early years he worked at the ice pond near the old Thorp Mill, where ice was cut in blocks and stored for use in refrigerating Northern Pacific freight cars. He also worked with balers in the hay fields, then, with Bill Henaby, owned and operated a garage and service station at Thorp. He also drove a school bus for the Thorp School District, where he made lifelong friendships with many students. He had a special love for children and even in his last days his great grandchildren were a source of pleasure and enjoyment. For many years, he was employed by the Green Giant food processor in Ellensburg and Waitsburg, and in Buhl, Idaho. When he retired from there in 1960, he and his wife returned to Ellensburg. She died on August 21, 1986. During her long illness Ray was ever faithful in his patient, loving care. Ray was a member of the Christian Church and a faithful worker who daily lived his Christian faith. Much of his time was spent in reading his Bible and listening to tapes. He loved the Lord; had a deep concern for all people and gave generously of his time and resources, had a keen sense of humor, and loved to tease and joke, and even in his last days continued to bring cheer and encouragement to the staff and residents of the retirement home. Ray's greatest joy was his family. They had a warm loving relationship and he leaves them a legacy of countless cherished memories. He is survived by a daughter, Donna Rae, and husband, Don Leavitt of Salem, Oregon; four grandchildren, Marlene and husband Carl Pleasant of Lewisburg, N.C., Marcia and husband Neal Jones, Donald and wife Joanna Leavitt of Salem, Oregon, and Michele and husband Dan Sandnear of Stayton, Oregon; and nine great grandchildren. He is also survived by a brother, Robert, and wife Irma Smith of Ellensburg; three sisters, Mildred Natson of Guemes Island, Edna Lyons of Issaquah, and Dorothy Schwarck of Tigard, Oregon; a brother-in-law, Kester, and wife Beulah Morrison of Thorp; a sister-in-law, Beulah Carder, of Olympia; and numerous nieces and nephews. In addition to this wife, he was preceded in death by an infant son, a sister, Helen Thorp, in 1965, and a brother, Wallace in 1993. A viewing will be Thursday, February 3 from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Funeral services will be held at Steward and Williams, in Ellensburg at 1 p.m., February 4, 1994. The Reverend Don Leavitt will officiate. Burial will be at Thorp Cemetery, followed by lunch at the Thorp Church.
