Ollie Mae Goin

She was born in her family’s farm home near Lisbon, North Dakota, on April 27, 1914. She attended grade school and high school, graduating in 1932, and graduated from nurses training in Lisbon in 1937. She moved with her entire family to Hood River, Oregon, in September of that year. In 1939 Ollie and Robert William Goin were married in White Salmon, Washington. They continued to live in Hood River, where she was a nurse, until they moved to Portland in 1941. On April 27, 1944, Ollie gave birth to their daughter, and on April 27, 1946, she gave birth to their son. Ollie and her family lived in Portland where Bob passed away in June, 1968. Soon after, she moved to King City near Tigard, Oregon.

In 1980 Ollie married Clifford Weisenhaus, a childhood playmate who lived on a neighboring farm in North Dakota when she was young. Ollie and Cliff moved to Capital Manor in 1996. The two of them had 22 happy years together before Cliff passed away in 2002.
