Melinda "Mindy" K. (Haseman) Penhollow

Melinda passed peacefully December 22, 2018 at home in Redmond, Oregon surrounded by her family. She loved her boys and always put them and her family first. She loved watching her boys participate in many sports, especially Redmond Viper Baseball Club, 4-H, FFA and several other activities. She was a mother first but volunteered with many organizations - the early years of Redmond Youth Football, the Redmond Little League Board, the Pleasant Ridge Community Hall Board, the annual Powell Butte Lords Acre Day, and several school events at all levels as her boys grew up. Melinda was born in Atlanta, Georgia on July 22, 1965. In 1969, she and her mother moved back to Albany, Oregon where her grandparents owned and operated Hub Dry Cleaners. She grew up there and graduated from West Albany High School in 1983. She then attended Oregon State University in Corvallis where she graduated in 1990 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business. While attending OSU, she met Cary "Charlie/Chuck" Penhollow and they were married June 6, 1992 at the Albany First Evangelical Church. They then moved to Bend where she worked for a time as the membership coordinator for Crosswater Golf Course in Sunriver. When her three boys arrived on the scene, she became a loving mother and housewife. The family, including her mother Helen, later moved to a small farm in southwest Redmond near the Pleasant Ridge Community Hall. Melinda is survived by her husband Cary, sons Brock, Holden and Grant, and mother Helen Haseman, all of Redmond; cousins Debbie Butler and family of Redmond, Katie Schumacher and family of Beaverton, Oregon, and Butch Moore and family of Rockaway Beach, Oregon; father-in-law Carroll Penhollow and brother-in-law Clay Penhollow of Redmond, and sister-in-law Cathy Kohanes and family of Cornelius, Oregon. She was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents Lester O. and Helen J. Horton, aunt Laura Moore, stepfather Richard "Bub" Haseman, and mother-in-law Sharon Penhollow. A family graveside service will be held Friday, January 18, 2019 at the Redmond Memorial Cemetery. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, January 19, 2019 at 11:00 AM at the Powell Butte Christian Church, 13720 SW Hwy 126, Powell Butte, Oregon 97753.
