In Memoriam: Gilda Farrell (April 12, 1949 – Dec. 5, 2021)

Gilda Amber Farrell, 72, of Silverton, Oregon passed away peacefully with her loving family by her side, in her home on Dec. 5, 2021.

Gilda was born in Prairie, Oregon to Arthur and Grace Shoun (Shankle) on April 12, 1949.

Gilda worked as a C.N.A at River View Convalescent Care, Silver Gardens and Benedictine.

She loved to help people and she lived her life doing for others. She enjoyed bowling, playing pool, singing, and decorating her home for all the seasons of the year. Most of all she loved spending time with her family and friends.
