Connie Louise Mallory's Obituary
Connie passed away May 1, 2020 at the Hospice Care Center in Longview, Washington.
Connie was born June 28, 1948 in Longview, WA, to Viola and Clarence Wakefield.
She married Stan Mallory on March 30, 1968. Stan was drafted into the Army a few months later and she moved back with her parents in Longview. When he returned from Vietnam, they moved to Fort Lewis, WA, until he was discharged, the moved to St. Helens, Oregon where they have resided since.
Connie was a homemaker while raising their two young children. She loved doing things with her children, family, friends and especially her sisters.
Connie had many talents and interests. She sewed many clothes for herself and the children, gardening, crafts, and her latest passion was quilting. She loved their property in the mountains of Baker County, OR, and was very involved in building their log home there.
Connie had a very full and satisfying employment career. She worked at the Trojan Nuclear Power Plant for many years as an Engineering Secretary/Clerk until it closed. She returned to school at Western Business College and graduated as a Legal Secretary. She was employed at the law firm of Bullock & Regier in Portland, OR, as a legal Secretary.
After a few years of fighting the traffic on Highway 30, Connie decided she would rather spend more time with her family and friends doing the things she enjoyed.
After a couple of years, she started working for Paulson Logging as their secretary. This worked well for her; as it was a short distance from home, not full time, could take her little dog Muff to work with her, and still have time for the things she enjoyed.
Connie is survived by her husband Stan Mallory; two children; daughter Andrea Mallory of St. Helens, OR, and son Scott Mallory of Greenville, SC; three grandchildren, Arielle Mallory, Adrian Mallory, Jake Sperley; and five great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by son, Paul Steven Mallory, and brother, Wayne Wakefield. A burial for Connie took place May 12, 2020 at Yankton Hillcrest Cemetery in St. Helens, OR.
