Gerald \"Gerry\" Nathan Romjue, 62, a resident of the North Plains community, passed away on December 9, 2019 while on vacation in the Maldives.
Gerry was born on June 2, 1957 in Portland. He was the youngest of three children born to Darrell and Carolyn (Anderton) Romjue and was raised in St. Johns. In his youth, he played baseball, basketball, and football, as well as earning the rank of Eagle Scout. He graduated from Roosevelt High School in 1975. He then attended Oregon State University and received a Bachelor's degree in Accounting in 1979.
Gerry met his future wife, Laura Peters, through mutual friends in college. They began dating, and following a two-year courtship, they married on December 15, 1979 in Verboort. They started their life together in Cornelius, eventually moving to Hillsboro in 1985. They relocated to their present home in North Plains in 2008. The city boy became a country boy and he loved it!
Gerry began his career at Pacific Office Automation in 1979. He started in accounting and worked up to his current position as Chief Financial Officer. After 40 years, he still enjoyed going to work every day.
Gerry was an avid OSU Beaver fan. He enjoyed golfing, traveling, working out, reading, and researching history. At home, he enjoyed taking care of the yard, barbequing, and cooking for his family. He loved trying new things, most recently clam digging and hunting.
Gerry had a great sense of humor and was loved by all who met him. He enjoyed hosting friends and family at their home, and loved to take care of people.
He is preceded in death by his parents. Gerry is survived by his loving wife of forty years, Laura, four children; Chelsie and George Andrews of Hillsboro, Ashley Romjue of Seattle, Holly Draper and Bradley \"Brad\" Romjue of North Plains, along with three grandchildren, Addison, Owen, and Ellie. His children and grandchildren were his world and he would do anything for them.
He is also survived by two siblings and their spouses; Kathy and Jerry Novak and Doug and Debbie Romjue, his mother-in-law; Dorothy Peters, as well as four sisters-in-law and their spouses; Lyndel Peters, Renae and Dave Ooley, Karen and Ron Ooley, and Sue and Pete Lepschat. He is also survived by several nieces and nephews.
The family suggests donations in Gerry's name to St. Edward Parish (the religious education out-of-parish subsidy fund) PO Box 507, North Plains, OR 97133.

(Braukman)","maiden":null,"full":"Mary Gertrude Cramer (Braukman)"},"obituary":"

Mary was born on May 13, 1909, in Woonsocket, South Dakota, the daughter of Bernard and Franzisca Braukmann. She attended school in the Butler township of Minnesota. She received excellent grades but was not able to attend high school. She later earned her diploma in 1965.
In 1929 she moved to Milwaukee. She worked as a nurse's aide, a seamstress, and a switchboard operator for the telephone company. She left Wisconsin to work in Milbank, South Dakota at the Cafe St. Hubert, starting her lifelong culinary career. She also served as the dean of the Milbank High School women's dormitory.
Mary met George Cramer at a local dance. She immediately knew this man was someone special and they were wed on June 3, 1935.
They moved to Verboort, Oregon in 1949. They built the “green house on the corner” where they lived for many happy years. Mary loved to entertain, whether it be a Thankgiving feast or a Hawaiian luau.
Mary continued to work in food service as the cook at the Verboort school. She was also the housekeeper for the rectory. In 1956, she started to work for Tektronix until her retirement 15 years later.
She loved to travel. After retiring, she spent a summer as a cook in Yellowstone National Park just for the adventure of it. Other trips included journeys across the U.S., the Holy Lands, and Hawaii. She made an especially rewarding journey to Germany with her sister Gertie.
In 1997, Mary moved to Creekside Retirement Residence in Beaverton, Oregon. She quickly became known as Aunt Mary to other residents and the staff because of her supportive and caring nature.
Mary will be greatly missed by her siblings Bill, Gertie and Frank, as well as countless relatives and friends.
Mary filled her life with memories of happy times, such as falling in love with George, as well as sad times, when she buried two infant sons. She never lost her ability to bring joy and laughter into our lives, with a joke, a story, some food, or her ever present smile.
God blessed Mary with a heart full of compassion, sensitivity, optimism and love. She and influenced generations just by being herself...
