Thursday, several locals were among approximately 45 guests who attended the 99th birthday party at the Pastime Tavern in LaCrosse for Nona Camp. It was a no-host luncheon with cake served to the guests later.

Donna Camp, former Whitman County resident, came from her home in Spokane to join in the celebration. Also attending were Nona’s sons Morrie Camp, LaCrosse, and Merrill and Gloria Camp, Walla Walla.

Last week, Colene Sager and Vicki Broeckel took a sight-seeing flight, with Sager as the pilot, over Palouse Falls and over the Broeckel farm on Alkali Flat.

Kim and Cindy Pitts visited their daughter Carrie in Yakima over the weekend.

Relatives, friends and neighbors paid their respects this weekend to two former Dusty residents. Funeral services were held for Irma Stueckle Friday morning at the Baptist Church in Colfax. She is survived by three daughters, Dianne (Dan) Morris of Valleyford, Jeanne Levy of Tacoma, Jan (Harmon) Smith of Dusty, three granddaughters and three great-grandchildren, her sister Leona (Harvey) Herman and two sisters-in-law, Betty Culbertson and Shirley Richardson.

She is survived by her sons Alan (Sharon) Steiger and Byron (Dianne) Steiger, four grandchildren and two great-grandsons. A reception was at Hill Ray Plaza after the burial service. Those who attended were given a remembrance, one of many beautifully decorated beaded Christmas ornaments made by Clare.

Staying at the Parsonage Bed and Breakfast this weekend were Alan and Sharon Steiger, Tim and Stacey Morgan and Jack and David and Jana Lee Hoffman and Joseph. Bryon and Dianne Steiger stopped in for a visit. They reside in Oregon and were here to attend memorial services in Colfax Sunday for Alan and Bryon’s mother, Clare Steiger.
