Jessie Louett (Crabb) Hershey
March 10 1910 - November 18, 2010

SALEM -- Jessie Crabb Hershey was born near St. John, Washington. At 3 years of age her parents moved to the Coeur d'Alene Indian Reservation and farmed for the Indians. She grew up there attending a one room school through the 8th grade. Jessie graduated from Farmington Washington High School and attended Lewiston, Idaho teacher's college and obtained a degree in education from Eastern Oregon College at LaGrande with a minor in Arts and Crafts.

Jessie married Floyd Hershey in 1934 and moved to Farmington, Washington to farm. They moved to Nyssa, Oregon in 1945 and had a son, Robert Floyd Hershey. After her husband's death in 1956, Jessie and her son moved to Hood River, Oregon where she taught school one through the 8th grade for the Hood River School District until her retirement in 1975. She owned homes in Neskowin and Lincoln City until 1999 when she moved into Dorchester House and eventually to Wilson House in Salem to be close to family.

Jessie Hershey contracted TB in 1930 at age 20 while attending school and cleaning houses "for the rich" to pay for college. This was the first time she had lived in a home that had a floor and indoor plumbing. With the loss of one lung she continued to live with little compromise. She saw a lot of changes in her 100 years and was disappointed when in her 80's her memory would not allow her to excel on computers. Jessie was reportedly and excellent teacher and frequently was given difficult students. She continued to correspond with past students up until her death. Jessie Hershey was a spirited and knowledgeable woman ahead of her time. She loved to travel, garden and sought any new adventure. She took her first motorcycle ride at age 95. In asking Jessie about regrets she stated tshe wished she had never gotten on an electric wheel chair as it was fun but she stopped using her legs and "... if you don't use it, you lose it."

Jessie is survived by her son, Robert Hershey; nephews Mike Crabb and Terry Barnes; nieces Barbara Toeltly, Dixie Crabb, and Penny Barnes; cousins, Dorothy Decker and Donna Jean Carneige (sic). Jessie was preceded in death by most of her relatives and friends and Jessie said that was a huge drawback to living a long life. Jessie will be greatly missed by all who knew her as she was a kind but frank person. She liked all people and lacked the ability to pass judgement of others. Anyone wishing to make a contribution please send donations to Connie Hansen Garden, Lincoln City, Oregon.

Graveside services will be held in Dayton, Washington where she will be laid to rest with her pioneer descendants. Arrangements by Keizer Funeral Chapel.
