Very very sorry about not getting more photos to you as soon as I had hoped. Right after the Pig Bowl I have been swamped. The holidays have not helped as I'm sure all of you have been busy as well. I have someone working on putting photos together to send out and I hope to have them very soon. Now that I have said this. I have some bad news.
Jennifer Erin (Barney) Magill, 33, died Dec. 29, 2009 after a long battle with cancer.
She was born on July 15, 1976 in Hood Riverand grew up in Hood River and The Dalles, graduating from Wahtonka High School in 1994.
After high school, she attended Western Culinary Institute graduating with a degree in culinary arts in 1996. She married Jason Magill in 1997 and they welcomed their son, Gavin, in 2003. The family lived in Mosier and The Dalles, and she worked at several local banks.
She was a wife and mother who enjoyed cooking and traveling her entire life.
She is survived by her husband, Jason Magill; son, Gavin Magill; father, Bill Barney; mother and father-in-law, Darryl and Leona Magill; grandmother, Gayla Hill and countless friends and extended family.
She was preceded in death by her mother, Tanith (Karen) Barney.
Many in the community came to know her through the annual Pig Bowl, and the family wishes to offer their sincerest thanks to all those who contributed to the fund and supported her through this event.
She requested that anyone interested in making a financial contribution in her memory do so by giving to a savings fund for Gavin?s future education. To fulfill this wish, the Jennifer Magill Memorial Fund has been set up at Columbia River Bank.
Again I want to thank all of you from the CCG and with your help it has made her last few months that much better. I spoke to Jason her husband and he said that she remained in high spirits right up to the end and that he plans on being back out next year for another Pig Bowl and I hope you all will be there as well. Take care and I will be getting photos out soon.
