On Sunday, May 15th, 2022, Artie Blanche (Hauptmann) Haury passed away at the age of 83. Artie was born in Clearwater, Nebraska on Sept. 16th, 1938, to Allie "Abe" and Evelyn (McKay) Hauptmann. She moved to Oregon as a young child and grew up near Scotts Mills.

Artie married Elmer Haury on July 11th, 1959, at Emmanuel Mennonite church in Salem (Pratum). They raised four children and worked together on the family farm for many years. Some of the different crops they raised included: three kinds of black berries, strawberries, currants, apples, cherries and hazelnuts (filberts). Artie loved to fish, hunt, hike and camp. Other hobbies were refunding and using scads of coupons to get the best deals at the grocery stores. She was famous for making delicious pies-especially marion berry. Artie always enjoyed country music and reading. Each year she grew a huge garden and canned and froze all the produce. Artie was preceded in death by her siblings Betty Dietz and David Hauptmann, and her grandson Garrett.

She is survived by her husband Elmer; her children Mark (Kim) Haury, Sandra (Cy) Smith, Anita (Rex) Mayhugh, and Tracy (Scott) Griffis; grandchildren Megan, Annie, Gilbert, Toby, Anastasia, Forrest, Amos, Isaac, Ezra, Jonas, Trevor, Valerie, Everett, and Natalie; 1 great grandchild; and her siblings Joyce Key and Robert Hauptmann. A service will be held at Pratum Cemetery at 11am on Friday, May 27th, followed by a luncheon at Emmanuel Bible Church in Salem (Pratum).
