We want families to be aware that our service does not end at the
committal service; but carries on, forming lasting friendships.
Our commitment to the families and community we service will not
change. As life is ever changing, we maintain a constant pursuit
in providing the best service. |

Janie Woodward
Director |

Born in New Jersey, my life has taken me too many places around
the world. Having married a high school classmate, we
settled in Silverton since 1975. We have raised 3
outstanding young adults. Community involvement is
important. I have volunteered in our children's schools, coached soccer. My passion is Funeral Service. I
have been serving families in the Willamette Valley for over 19
years. I graduated with honors from Mt. Hood Community College
with a degree in Mortuary Science. My goal is to give each family
the most personal and meaningful service to make the loss of a
loved one significant. I enjoy looking for and implementing new
ideas and as well as embracing tradition. My hobbies are
traveling, reading, sewing, and keeping up with technology.

I was born and raised in Dunlap,
Iowa and upon my graduation from High School, I enlisted in the US
Navy at the end of the Vietnam conflict. I served in the Navy for
21 years as a Hospital Corpsman aboard several ships and equally
with the US Fleet Marine Force. After retirement from the Navy, I
relocated to Arizona, where I met and married my wife over 13
years ago. I attended Mesa Community College in Arizona and
received a second degree in Mortuary Science shortly after the
birth of our second child. My wife and I have been blessed
with three wonderful children that attend Sublimity Middle and
Elementary school and are involved with many sporting activities.
My family and I relocated to
Sublimity from Coos Bay Oregon over two years ago, where I was the
manager of the Coos Bay Chapel. We truly love this beautiful
community and enjoy the serenity of our surroundings. It is my
hope that I may serve families within this community to help with
planning for loved ones funeral needs. It is my goal to make a
difficult time just a little bit easier with assisting and
attending to the needs of families.
I spend my free time camping with my
family to share with our children the beauty of God's creation.
When not camping I can be found gardening, watching football or
just spending time with my family. |

Having worked for Weddle's for the
last two years I have had the opportunity to come into contact
with an amazing community. Born and raised in Salem, Oregon I
have had 36 years of enjoying all that Oregon has to offer, and am
proud to be apart of the Funeral industry. I have an amazing 13
year old daughter who attends Leslie Middle School, and a wonderful
fiance
David L. Callender whom is
also a funeral Director. With every family feeling like it was
our own, I am proud to work in an environment where compassion,
community and care are at the forefront of service. |

Born
and raised on the family farm just 5 miles east of Weddle's on
Fern Ridge. I come from a large family. Our mom and dad
taught us the true meaning of family and how important it is. I
am blessed with a lovely lady Cindy and a beautiful ten year old
girl Corrine. We all enjoy taking in together the numerous outdoor
activities that Oregon offers.
.....
I am currently serving my Funeral Director apprenticeship at
Weddle Funeral Service. To be honest, I never thought I would be
working in the Funeral business (and like it). I have
discovered how honorable and rewarding it is to help families
with arrangements during their time of loss. To be given a thank
you or told your doing a good job means you have made a difficult
time easier. I am very lucky to have a manager and co-workers that
are very professional and caring about my home community. |
