      Obituary:
      Neva was 93 when she passed away peacefully, May 11, 2012. She slipped away in her sleep after many years of struggle with congestive heart failure. She had hospice care at an Adult Foster Care home in Portland.
      She was born March 27, 1919 in Marathon, Iowa, the second child of Clint and Edith (Lundgren) Anderson. At age four, along with her parents, sister Dorothy and brother Don the family moved to Deer Island, Oregon, and later moved to the Chapman area where she attended school. The family settled in the Downing area between Rainier and Clatskanie. Due to health issues as a child she had to leave school in 7th grade, after which she worked to help provide for the family. She had a variety of jobs including harvesting crops in various western Oregon areas, cooking at the Mayger school, childcare and waitressing in Rainier, Oregon.
      On Sept. 22, 1942 she married her neighbor and sweetheart, Victor Carlton, at a Lutheran church inLongview, WA. They moved to Portland around 1947. By 1950 they were in the family home in North Portland where she lived for the next 57 years. She worked at the D&L drug store and did house cleaning, while Vic worked as an auto mechanic for the first Baxter Auto Parts store in Portland. Mom was also a homemaker and involved with PTA and Cub Scouts. Over the years, several relatives lived with Neva and Vic. Everyone was welcome in their home.
      In 1959, Victor, the love of her life, passed away at age 47 from complications of Parkinson’s disease. Although life was never the same for her after that loss, she continued to work hard to provide for her three kids. She never remarried, stating “Once you had the best, no one else would do”. Boyd’s Coffee was her employer from approximately 1968 to 1986 when health issues made retirement necessary at age 67.
      She loved her family, friends and especially kids. Several dogs and cats also provided good company and great enjoyment for her over the years. Always a gardener with a love for flowers, she spent even more time after retirement tending the flower beds around her home, sharing what she grew with family and friends. She was a prolific poet filling many spiral notebooks (we’ve found 14 books so far) leaving us with a treasure trove of poems that chronicled her life and philosophy. Viewing wildlife and cloud formations, painting and handicrafts (making something from nothing, be-it grass, tin cans, leaves, rocks, sticks or seeds) were just some of what occupied her extremely creative mind.
      She didn’t see the need for professional medical care for more than 20 years until at age 88 her health deemed it was necessary. She was hospitalized and diagnosed with an aortic aneurism and congestive heart failure. While she liked her doctors personally, she was never a fan of their advice or prescribed medications. Leaving the hospital the doctors gave her 4 - 6 months to live. But she was tough and surprised us, as she would continue to do. After one year at Assisted Living she was doing so well she moved to an Independent Living facility, where she did fairly well for another three years. However, the condition was taking a toll and her health continued to gradually decline. One day, no longer able to walk, a move to Adult Foster Care was necessary. This is where she spent her last five months.
      She knew for some time her days on this earth were numbered. One day in a conversation with Jan, she revealed something she had never talked about. She said when she was 12 years old she knelt at a kitchen chair in her house and prayed with the local reverend, accepting Christ as her Savior. Although she did not attend a church, her life exemplified that of Jesus in her love for all people.
      She is survived by her children Jim Carlton and wife Tricia,Oak Grove,OR, Ken Carlton and wife Betty, Glenoma, WA, and Jan Johnson, Gladstone, OR, brother Lowell Anderson and sister, Norma Nelson, five grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. Preceding her in death were husband Victor, brother Don and sisters Dorothy and Lois.
      After some ashes are scattered at favorite places, her remains will be buried next to Victor at Lincoln Memorial Park Cemetery in Portland.
      Neva had some tremendous difficulties in life, but she never complained about her condition or situation, she always felt blessed and looked forward to everyday that was hers. She was generous, valued honesty and hard work, abhorred greed and injustice and had a special concern and helping hand for those less fortunate. Although it is a relief to know she is at rest and no longer struggling, it is sad losing someone who has been there all your life. She was a wonderful mother and a caring individual constantly looking for the positive in everything with a unique personality, sense of humor and perspective all her own. She will be missed. Goodbye Mom, we love you.
      There will be a Celebration of Life service Saturday, June 16 at 12:00 noon at the Oregon City Churchof the Nazarene, 716 Taylor St.OregonCity, Or 97045, 503 656-6536. The church and its members will provide a meal for the guests.
      Contributions in lieu of flowers may be made to Oregon City Churchof the Nazarene’s H.O.P.E (Helping Other People Eat) program, Loaves and Fishes, Oregon Red Cross or Portland Rescue Mission. Although she loved flowers, she would appreciate helping other people even more.
