OLHD has learned that Patti Risley passed away in Bend on August 17th. You can read her obituary at:

Patti was a descendant of our 1845 pioneers Orville and Jacob Risley. OLHD was fortunate to have been given a tour by Patti of the family’s historic Risley home on River Rd. a few years ago.

Patti was liked by all and will be sorely missed.
