OLDEN, Verile Raymond "Dutch": 5 Jan 1931 - 5 Dec 2006
Source: online newspaper archive
Yakima Herald-Republic (WA) - December 10, 2006
YAKIMA - Verile R. Olden of Yakima, Washington passed away suddenly at Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital on Tuesday, December 5, 2006. "Dutch", as he was known to family and friends, was born January 5, 1931 in Toppenish, Washington to Harold and Laverne "Tuddy" Olden. He grew up on the family homestead, farming and ranching cattle in the Toppenish area, and graduated from Toppenish High School in 1949, where he was president of the FFA chapter. Dutch joined the United States Marine Corps in the fall of 1949, received training at Camp Lejeune as an Operating Engineer, and served in Korea during the Korean War. He was decorated for wounds received as a combat veteran and for heroism rescuing a downed South Korean pilot. Following initial medical treatment in Japan, he was reassigned to the El Toro Marine Air Station for recuperation, where he met the love of his life, his wife of 54 years, Mary Ellen Sheppard Olden, also a United States Marine Corps Sergeant. They were married in Las Vegas on July 23, 1952. Following discharge from the Marine Corps, Dutch and MaryEllen moved to the Toppenish area, and started their family. Children Carol, Carl, and Craig soon followed. Along with a career operating and repairing heavy equipment, and performing underwater welding with the Wapato Irrigation Project from 1953 to 1965, Dutch helped with the family ranch in the Toppenish area, and all the neighbors enjoyed his help with their cattle herds. In 1965 he helped with the initial construction of the Fort Simcoe Job Corps Center, and became one of the first vocational instructors there, teaching heavy equipment operation and repair, auto mechanics, and welding over the course of his career. Dutch was well known for his heavy equipment operating skills, and was frequently called on for his expertise in fighting forest and range fires throughout the Northwest. Dutch enjoyed coaching the Fort Simcoe Eagles football, baseball and wrestling teams, and taking his family on waterskiing outings with his Job Corps students during the summers. Dutch became Deputy Director of the Fort Simcoe Job Corps Center in 1980, a position he held until his retirement on March 29, 1986 after more than 39 years of government service. Dutch received many awards and recognition during his years of exemplary service with the Wapato Irrigation Project and with the Fort Simcoe Job Corps Center. Following retirement, Dutch and MaryEllen made their home in Yakima, and enjoyed the opportunity to be involved in family activities with their grandchildren. Dutch became a volunteer at Hoover Elementary School, mentoring students in reading and math skills, and was publicly recognized for his involvement in the Washington Reading Corps. Always handy with tools, Dutch enjoyed remodeling and tinkering, and had a wonderful flower and vegetable garden. His green thumb kept the entire family and most of the neighborhood in vegetables every summer. A man of many talents, Dutch was an accomplished chef and everyone enjoyed the treats he created at the stove, on the barbecue, and in the smoker. Dutch enjoyed trout fishing with MaryEllen at his favorite childhood fishing sites. An enrolled member of the Yakama Nation, Dutch particularly enjoyed fishing at Mount Adams Lake. A traditional family outing involved being the first to fish Howard Lake every season, and the family returned there in the late summer for huckleberry season. Although he never seemed to have time to play during his work career, Dutch started playing golf during his rehabilitation following his war injuries, and was instrumental in designing and building the golf course at the El Toro Marine Air Station. On rare occasion, he could be convinced to play golf in a tournament of government employees, and would surprise us all by winning. He renewed his interest in golf during retirement, and enjoyed playing with MaryEllen and his sons and grandsons. One quickly learned never to bet with Dutch. Dutch particularly enjoyed traveling with MaryEllen to all of the sporting events, music performances and drama activities involving their grandchildren. Dutch is survived by his wife of 54 years, MaryEllen, and by his three children and their families: his son Craig and his wife Lisa Heman Olden and their son Hunter of Yakima; his son Carl and his wife Susan Dahlin Olden and their children Kenneth, David, Timothy and Rebekah, also of Yakima; and by his daughter Carol of Long Beach, Washington, Carol's daughter Maria (Didi) McCoy and husband Chris of Seattle, Carol's son Kolden Gopher and great-grandsons Giovanni and Kaleo Gopher of Toppenish. Dutch is also survived by sisters Carmella Clements of Toppenish and Dolores Blaine of Yakima; sister-in-law Elizabeth Gehrke and her husband Edward of Coshocton, Ohio; aunts Viola O'Neil of Yakima, Velma Phillips of Toppenish, and LaVilla Ramsey of White Swan; uncle John Rentschler of Toppenish; numerous cousins, nieces, nephews and the uncountable friends he made during his 75 years. Dutch was preceded in death by his parents, Harold and LaVerne "Tuddy" Olden, and his step-father Mark Bybee. Merritt Funeral Home is in charge of cremation and memorial arrangements, with a Celebration of Dutch's Life to be held at 1:00pm Friday, December 15th at Merritt Funeral Home in Wapato. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests a donation to the Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital Foundation, for Heart Disease Prevention programs, or to the donor's favorite charity.
