Sutherlin Chapel of the Roses

Sutherlin Chapel of the Roses Sutherlin Chapel of the Roses has served families of Sutherlin and North Douglas County for more tha Celebrating life is our mission. That’s never changed.

Sutherlin Chapel of the Roses was established years ago, and serving families has always been our focus. We take pride in being able to guide people through some of their most difficult days. We take pride in maintaining a setting that allows people to find solace. And with pride, it never will. We've learned a lot over many years. Like how to present options without overwhelming. And how to meet the needs of many caring parties. People come to us in difficult times, and we respond with kindness, calmness, and expertise. Our goal is to create a beautiful occasion and make you feel welcome, always. We spend our days planning with families. We stay up to date with industry developments. And we make hard times a little easier. At Sutherlin Chapel of the Roses, we think of our job as having two parts: physical and emotional. The physical is burials, entombments, and inurnments. Most funeral homes consider their primary function to be handling remains. The emotional is working with families to design healing experiences. Our peaceful and intimate setting becomes a place where people find closure, renewal, and togetherness. And that’s the most rewarding part of what we do. Gathering with friends and family gives everyone the opportunity to share memories, express emotions, and find comforting support. Whether you choose burial or cremation; whether you select a formal funeral or a more relaxed memorial service, the need for acknowledgment of the loss with family and friends is ever-present. We can help you create a unique meaningful ceremony to express the genuine individuality of your loved one. If burial has been selected, usually any ceremonies we design revolve around the casket being present. You can choose to follow tradition, with a viewing, and then a funeral service in a church or memorial chapel. Or you could decide to have a more relaxed service, even in your family home. We offer families a beautiful setting in which to come together to honor their loved one. But, you may certainly choose to celebrate their life in a more unique setting. No matter where you decide to gather together, such a service will make a difference in the lives of all who attend. Sutherlin Chapel of the Roses is the ultimate provider of creating healing experiences in the community. From services to workshops, they take pride in drawing the community together. All too often, families discount the value of ceremony after the death of a loved one, and they certainly don’t want you to make that mistake. Coming together after a loss is a very essential part of the grieving process. The team is here to listen to your concerns, share our experience, and help you to arrive at the perfect way to gather together before your loved one's interment in the cemetery of your choice. Visit their warm and comfortable offices at 783 W Central Ave Sutherlin, OR 97479, or call to schedule an appointment (541) 459-2281.

Obituary for Virginia Mudrow

Virginia Mudrow, 88, of Oakland, Oregon, passed away peacefully on October 15, 2025. She

was born on March 13, 1937, in Arizona. After college, Virginia lived in California, where she met the love of her life, Gordon Mudrow. Together they built a life full of love and family, raising five children: Richard, Carol, Christine, Karen, and Cindy. The family lived in several areas of California before moving to Walla Walla, Washington for five years due to Gordon's work. In 1978, they settled first in Roseburg and then

in Oakland, Oregon, where they made their longtime home.

Virginia was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who took great joy in

caring for her family. She had a lifelong passion for plants and flowers and could often be found

tending to her garden, growing a variety of beautiful blooms. Her many hobbies included

collecting stamps, coloring, reading, embroidery, and working on puzzles. From time to time,

she also enjoyed helping in the jewelry department at the family's Ben Franklin store.

A woman of quiet strength and unwavering faith, Virginia was a devout Christian who deeply

loved the Lord. She was known for her gentle spirit, her perseverance through challenges, and

her steadfast determination.

Virginia was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Gordon; daughter, Carol; three

grandchildren, Jason, Jacob, and Crystal; and numerous siblings. She leaves behind a legacy of

love, faith, and family that will continue to inspire all who knew her.

A funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 25, 2025, at the Sutherlin

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. A grave dedication and luncheon will follow the

service. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Virginia's life.
