A few impressions by Pam Hallmark Wagner, dau in law: LaRue worked as a secretary for the Sheriff's Office in Portland, Oregon and also for the Benson Polytechnic Boys High School. She became terminally ill with Leukemia in 1963, but was more concerned about the other patients at U of O Hospital than for herself. She went to cheer them up. She loved to tell stories, have a good time, enjoyed a good laugh or joke, was quite a tease. She was always more concerned for everyone else, thus I believe she willed herself to die when she broke her hip. She was not going to be a burden on anyone. She loved her sisters dearly and would spend a lot of time with them.
