Angela "Angie" Lee Smith

Our loving Momma, wife, and Grama Angie returned to her Father in Heaven on Friday, October 10, 2025, surrounded by her family.

She was born to Geraldine Toombs and Charles C. Farrell on January 30, 1956. Her siblings are Peggie (David) Arnold, Pamala (Dennis) Day, Patty Farrell, and Penny (Daryl) Rundberg.

Mom was our best friend from the day we were born and now she is our precious guardian angel.

She lived her life on her own terms, with family, education and her political views at the forefront.

She graduated high school from Clearfield High in Clearfield, Utah with the class of 1974.

Mom held an associate degree in nursing, a bachelor of science degree majoring in health administration, with a minor in health education. She also held a case management certification with a few courses towards her masters in science.

Her medical expertise, determination, and strength was evident in all of her career positions, but her favorite was working in the Mother/Baby unit at Ogden Regional Medical Center (ORMC) in Ogden, Utah.

She enjoyed, to a fault, helping others. She was warm, caring and strong minded. She loved the ocean and she loved to travel.

On February 4, 1977, she married John Daniel Handrahan and had three children: Nicole Leigh Handrahan Code (Dee), Shon Lyle Handrahan and Tiana Anne Handrahan Spackman (Kelly). She and John were later divorced.

On June 18, 2016 mom married Brian Smith. Blended families aren't always easy, but ours worked.

Over the years, as our family grew, mom realized just how much she loved being a Grama. She loved spending time with and spoiling her seven grandchildren and one great grandchild.

As we mourn the loss of mom, we are comforted in the knowledge she was greeted in heaven by her sisters, Peggie and Pam, her parents, and her best friend, Teresa Collier.

On Monday, October 27, 2025 there will be a viewing and burial in Salem, Oregon.

Mark Charles Lindgren

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Mark C. Lindgren, who departed this world on October 5, 2025, at the age of 68, in Salem, Oregon. Born on September 10, 1957, in Aberdeen, South Dakota, Mark was a cherished son, devoted husband, loving father, and an inspiring figure to many.



Mark was the beloved son of LeRoy and Joice Martinne Lindgren, who preceded him in death. He grew up in a close-knit family that instilled in him strong values and a work ethic that he carried throughout his life. He graduated from McNary High School and went on to trade school, paving the way for a successful career in the construction industry.



On October 24, 1976, Mark married the love of his life, Wanda, a bond that would last for 32 beautiful years until her passing in 2008. Their love story began in junior high and blossomed through high school-a testament to their deep connection and commitment to one another. Together, they raised two children, Nicole Lindgren and Troy Lindgren.



Mark's career was as impressive as his personal life. He completed his apprenticeship with the Carpenters Union on July 1, 1981, and steadily ascended the ranks to become a General Superintendent for one of the country's largest and most respected commercial drywall contractors. After ten years in that role, Mark transitioned to project manager and estimator, dedicating the final 15 years of his career to mentoring others and ensuring quality work until his retirement in 2015.



Mark was known for his laid-back demeanor and his quick, witty sense of humor. Friends and family often joked about his colorful language, especially when he was working on cars or his Harley Davidson. He had a strong work ethic and, at times, a stubborn streak, but those who knew him loved him for his authenticity and compassion. Mark enjoyed spending his weekends working on home improvement projects or tending to his yard, often concluding the day with a barbecue surrounded by friends and family or watching classic movies. He had a deep appreciation for drawing and a love for classic rock music, along with the thrill of taking rides on his Harley. He especially enjoyed going fishing with his wife, Wanda, on their boat, cherishing those peaceful moments together on the water.



Mark is survived by his two children, daughter Nicole Lindgren, and her wife, Lissa Lindgren, son Troy Lindgren, and his cherished grandchildren, Zachary and Andrew Lindgren. He is also survived by his sister, Molly Mink, and her husband, Jerry Mink, his brother, Gary Lindgren, and an abundance of nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews who will miss his warmth and humor.



A memorial service to celebrate Mark's life will be held at Restlawn Memory Gardens on October 24, 2025, at 11:00 AM. Family and friends are invited to gather and share their memories, honoring a man who left an indelible mark on all who knew him.



Mark's legacy of love, laughter, and hard work will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to have crossed paths with him. He will be profoundly missed, but his spirit will live on in the hearts of his family and friends. Rest in peace.

Robert Ray Gulick Sr

Robert "Bob" Gulick, Sr. was born on November 3, 1940, in Salem, Oregon, and passed away peacefully on September 24, 2025, in Salem.

Born to Estel and Rhoma Gulick, Bob grew up in Everett, Washington, and graduated from Everett High School. Shortly after high school, he enlisted in the United States Navy, where he served his country faithfully for over 25 years as a Gunner's Mate Guns First Class (GMG1), from January 1959 to July 1984.

While attending Warner Pacific College, Bob met the love of his life, Kathryn "Kathi" Palmer. They were married on June 14, 1963, and together built a life centered on faith, family, and service. They were blessed with two children, Robert Jr. and Nicole.

In addition to his military career, Bob worked at Accu Print West and later ran his own business: Robert Ray & Associates. He then worked for his brother’s trucking company, until he retired in 2019. Even so, his heart remained with the U.S. Navy, where he dedicated most of his working life.

Bob was a longtime member of Holladay Park Church of God and later became devoted to the Tigard Church of God after Holladay Park closed. He had a deep love for Japanese culture, especially its food, and spent time doing missionary work in Japan - a passion he shared with Kathi. He also enjoyed bowling and was well-known for his signature back-handed wave.

Bob will be remembered for his big smile, infectious sense of humor, and unwavering faith. He was deeply committed to his family and took special joy in serving and supporting the youth of his church.

Bob is survived by his children, Robert (Della) Gulick, Jr. and Nicole D. (Joshua) Wilson; his brother, Jim (Myrna) Gulick; brother-in-law, Don Miller; sister-in-law, Sylvia Gulick; four grandchildren; and one great-grandchild. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Kathi Gulick; sister, Evelyn Miller; brother, Willard Gulick; and his parents, Estel and Rhoma Gulick.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Tigard Church of God Youth Ministries at Tigard.cog.org.
