Lydia Vallier (Gaines) Cagle, age 85, of Odell, Oregon passed away on Monday June 2, 2014 at the Hood River Care Center in Hood River, Oregon into the loving arms of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Lydia was born on August 5, 1928 in Keo, Arkansas to Arthur Elzie Gaines and Lela Ezell.

On March 14, 1946, Lydia married Marvin L. “Tom” Cagle in McAllister, Oklahoma. Throughout the years, Lydia resided in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Texas, California, and Oregon. Lydia was a Fruit Packer for many years at the Lage Orchards – a job she enjoyed immensely. In her free time she enjoyed crocheting, quilting, painting, flower gardening, fishing, reading, and was very proud of the fact that she was given her first computer at age 70! She never met a stranger and loved having people drop in to visit. Lydia was especially proud of her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.

Lydia is survived and will be greatly missed by her husband Marvin, daughter Carla Kragness and Mike Swanzy of Eugene, Oregon, son Carl (Carmen) Cagle of The Dalles, Oregon, daughter Lela Hulahan and Mike Sherman of Florence, Oregon, daughter Lara (Steve) Cushing of Federal Way, Washington, son James (Jan) Cagle of Eugene, Oregon, and daughter Mary Lou (Mike) Cooley of Grants Pass, Oregon, 13 grandchildren, 14 great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
