Carolyn Bergeron Obituary

Carolyn Joyce Bergeron (Johnson) died in a Portland area memory care unit April 15, 2017. She was preceded in death by her husband, Leonard John Bergeron who died February 10, 2016.
Carolyn was born October 27, 1939 to Cletus and Ruthe Johnson.

Len was born March 3, 1939 to Ernest and Rosemund Bergeron. Len is survived by his brother Ed Bergeron.
Len and Carolyn are survived by their three children; Ted (Leesa) Bergeron of Salem, Joanne (Bryan) Shepherd of Carmel, Indiana, and Steve (Toni) Bergeron of Gladstone; and three grandchildren, Alaina Miller, Alan and Caledonia Bergeron.
Lifelong Oregon residents, Len graduated from Benson Polytechnic and Carolyn was in the first graduating class at Wilson. Both graduating in 1957. Len furthered his education at the University of Portland and Carolyn went to the Oregon Agricultural College (OSU). They married February 7, 1959 at St. Clare Church in Multnomah, Oregon.
Len started his professional career in retail sales and became a partner in Farwest Graphics in 1970. Carolyn was a home-maker, scout leader, PTA president and enjoyed many craft hobbies until 1976 when the mini-series “Roots” was aired. From then on, Genealogy was her main hobby and the Genealogy Forum of Oregon became her clubhouse. Len loved racing sailboats on the Willamette river where he taught his children to sail. Carolyn enjoyed family time on the Oregon coast.
Fiercely independent, it took cancer to stop Len and dementia to stop Carolyn.
Now that Carolyn has joined Len in peace, we are holding a small memorial at 11 a.m., April 29, 2017 at Riverview Abbey in Portland. A private interment for family will be held after.
Len and Carolyn asked for remembrances to be made to the Humane Society of Oregon on their behalf.

Born: October 27, 1939 Death: April 15, 2017
