After having celebrated her 95th birthday with a large gathering of family and friends on June 20th in Corvallis, Margaret D. Stevens passed away in the early morning of June 25.

Margaret was born in Junction City, Oregon, to Oscar Lynn and Vida Luthy Dunlap on June 19, 1920. She was a native Oregonian born on the 320-acre Donation Claim Land #738 Section 19 that her great-grandfather, Hyson Smyth, purchased in October 1854. He and his bride Martha Crenshaw Smyth had arrived in the Willamette Valley from Lincoln County, Missouri.

The Dunlap family moved to Caldwell, Idaho, in 1926. Margaret attended grade school, high school and the College of Idaho in Caldwell. She graduated from the University of Idaho in 1944.

She was married to C. William Stevens of Boise, Idaho, in Quantico, Virginia, where he was attending Officers Training, on March 4, 1944. After World War II, they lived in the Boise area until her husband was transferred to Pendleton to be manager of the Sherwin-Williams paint store in 1951. For many years she worked with her husband as a color consultant. Her husband preceded her in death on November 6, 1982.

She was a resident of Pendleton for 49 years until she moved to Corvallis in 2000. She was a member of the Episcopal Church, P.E.O. Chapters CL and BJ, and a life member of the Sons and Daughters of Oregon Pioneers.

She is survived by her children: Richard of Portland, Ron (wife Soozi) of Corvallis, Brad (fiancée Linda Morgan) of Baker City, Kirk (wife Josi) of Portland and Ann Sands (husband Rod) of Oregon City; 14 grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; half-sister Judy Dunlap Alder of Murray, Utah; and sister-in-law Faye Dunlap of Caldwell, Idaho. She was preceded in death by her son Bruce (wife Carole) of Twin Falls, Idaho, in 2012; granddaughter Hillary Sands in 1988; her parents; and her two brothers, Ray and Ralph.

A memorial service will be at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, July 25, at the Church of the Good Samaritan in Corvallis. Another memorial service will be held at 10:00 a.m. Saturday, August 15, at the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer in Pendleton. Cremation was requested.
