OBITUARY - ObitTree

James Howard Ward, wonderful husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, great-great-grandfather, brother, teacher, coach, author, friend and one heck of a strong-willed fighter, lost his 12-year battle with cancer on Friday, Jan. 4, 2013, at St. Joseph Hospital, Lewiston.
Born in Aberdeen, S.D., on Feb. 13, 1926, to Howard Ward and Alvira DeWald Ward, he was the oldest of four children.
He married Darlene Hiller and moved to Hermiston, Ore. Together they had five children, Linda, Cynthia, Roxanne, Marilee and Keith. They divorced in 1965.
In 1985 he married Janet Snarr and her four sons, and they ran the Greyhound bus station in Umatilla, Ore. Shortly thereafter, they moved to Lewiston and were the owner/operators of the Greyhound bus station. This was a great chance for golf 360 days a year and to be 100 miles closer to his children in Spokane. Janet died of cancer in 2003.
In 2008, he met the love of his life, Della Schultz; they have enjoyed the last four and a half years with each other. They had a chance to revisit his birthplace, see many of his relatives and Della's hometown, LaCrosse, Wis.
Jim is survived by his wife, Della; daughters, Linda Denman (Nick), Cynthia Griffith (David), Roxanne Eneroth (Ken), Marilee Stephens (Cecil), and Susan Whitewater; sons, Keith Ward (Stacey), Todd Snarr, Ryan Snarr (Tami), Hal Snarr (Lynn), and Rodney Snarr (Crystal); sister, Alice; brother, Bill; 32 grandchildren and numerous great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild, Jonah Jarman; and last but not least, Bosco. He is preceded in death by his mother, Alvira, father, Howard, and brother, Arthur.
The family would like to express their appreciation to the doctors and staff who gave him such wonderful care, especially to Dr. Shah, who Jim said was more than a doctor, he was a friend.
The last motto that came to him was, "In the great scheme of things, it really doesn't matter."

Art, along with his identical twin William, was born December 15, 1928, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota to Howard and Alvira (DeWald) Ward. His early preschool years were spent in South Dakota. In the mid-1930s, his family moved to a farm near Days Creek, Oregon where he, his brothers and sister spent countless hours playing in the creek and nearby woods. In 1956, he meet school teacher Mary Donnelly at the annual Prune Pickers Ball in Myrtle Creek, Oregon, and they were married August 17, 1957, in Ray, North Dakota. They returned to Oregon where Arthur worked in the logging industry as a choke-setter and Mary taught school. When his name was drawn to choose a farm in the Columbia Basin Irrigation Project in 1958, he was absolutely overjoyed. In the spring of 1959, he and Mary began farming Unit 135 in Block 14, near Eltopia. They, along with their new neighbors (which soon became life-long friends), made the desert bloom with crops such as wheat, corn, beans, asparagus and alfalfa.

These systems have irrigated over 300 acres for almost 40 years.

Although he often cheered for the Seahawks, his life-long favorite team was the San Francisco 49ers. He also loved to go fishing for steelhead at Ringgold and a good game of cards.
