Oriel L. Galle
March 4, 1931- Sept. 16, 2025
Third generation Oregonian Oriel Clark embraced life and all its mysteries. Her dad gave her the nickname "Pal" because she helped him with the work and care of the animals on their ranch near Pondosa Oregon. She lived a long, rich, adventurous life and will be missed and fondly remembered by all who had the good fortune to know and love her. A private and humble person, Oriel continued to enhance her many talents and strengths until she could no more. Oriel is survived by brother Ronald Lay of Baker, daughter Dana of Corvallis, son David Galle Jr of Pendleton along with 4 grandchildren (David Galle III, Crystal Galle, Michael and Paulina ) along with 9 great grandchildren. She is preceded in death by brothers Sam and Orrin Lay, sisters Gloria Piper, Charmaine Kohler, Cherin Humphrey and daughter Wendy Gregory (2006). She outlived her husbands David Galle, Frank Henrikson and John Clark.
At her request, no service will be performed.
