MONMOUTH - Ed Stineff passed away at age 72 from complications of pulmonary fibrosis. Ed was born in DeRidder, Louisiana, to Edward Henry and Leona Stineff. Most of his childhood was spent in Anacortes, Washington, where he graduated from Anacortes High School in 1956. He graduated from Linfield College in 1960 with a bachelor's degree. He worked for Boeing in Seattle, spent his military service in the Army in Boston, MA, and then returned to Seattle to begin his career in the insurance business with Safeco. He followed this career path from Seattle to Pendleton, LaGrande, Salem, and finally purchasing his own agency which is now known as Stineff Insurance in Monmouth in 1974. Ed sold this agency and retired in 1996. In retirement, he spent a lot of time in the Palm Springs area. Ed was very involved with his family and community, including President of Monmouth/Independence Chamber of Commerce, President of the Western Oregon University Foundation, chair of the Jobs Council for the Mid-Willamette Valley, and countless other community organizations. He was named the First Citizen of Monmouth/Independence in 1983. He was also a member of the Central Lions Club, Independence Elks Club, Oak Knoll Golf Course, and Cross Creek Golf Course.
Ed enjoyed family and friends, travel, golf, reading, and fine dining. He was very proud of getting a hole-in-one at Desert Dunes, Palm Springs, in 2003. He was a remarkably successful player of cards. He loved life and fought a lengthy battle against heart and lung disease, and cancer.
Ed is survived by his wife Pat, son Matt (Andrea) from Homer, Alaska; daughter Jennifer Coney (Jon), Portland, OR; stepdaughter Katie Moran (Mike), Salem, OR; and stepson Theron Roe (Marlene), Philomath, OR. Ed and Pat have nine grandchildren: Kazden, Izaac, Kaiah, and Amakah Stineff, Madeline Coney, Blake and Mason Moran, and Colby and Taylor Roe. He is also survived by his sister, Leta Benfield, from Anacortes, WA.
A celebration of Ed's life will be held at the Green Villa Barn, at 3110 Independence Highway, Independence, OR, on Monday, August 29, 2011, at 5:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Western Oregon University Foundation.
