Betty Rose Pardee's Obituary
Our beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and sister, Betty Rose Pardee was born on April 13, 1933 to Ted and Leona Means in Portland, Oregon and passed on September 3, 2019 in Columbia Care Center in Scappoose. She was raised in Burlington, where she attended Holbrook Grade School. After graduating from Scappoose High School in 1951, she would meet and marry George LeMont and have 4 children. Betty worked for many years as a cook for McBride Elementary School and then went on to work for Steinfeld’s in Scappoose. In 1988 Betty married Darrell Pardee and developed an interest for traveling.
