GEORGE AERNI

George Washington Aerni died of cancer on Nov. 18, 2000, at the Mt. Adams Care Center in Goldendale, at the age of 83.
Mr. Aerni was born Feb. 6, 1917, in Trout Lake, to Joseph and Grace (McCray) Aerni. He lived in Trout Lake until 1957, when he moved with his parents to Carson. After his father died in 1969, he and his mother returned to Trout Lake to live in 1970.
Mr. Aerni was well-known in the community for having a knack of being able to fix things, whether it was a radio, clock, toaster, vacuum cleaner or any small appliance that was broken.
In 1989, he moved to Goldendale to live at Mt. Adams Care Center.
Mr. Aerni is survived by his sisters Olive Davis, Hillsboro, Ore., Pearl Maley, The Dalles, Ore., and Edna Edwards, Yelm; six nieces and eight nephews: and many cousins and great-nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents and one sister, Ruth Lane.
A private memorial gathering will be held at a later date. Disposition is by cremation.
Arrangements were by Gardner Funeral Home in White Salmon.
