Catherine Mary 'Kitty' Quinn Jaeger Aug. 14, 1899-July 22, 2001 Our beloved Mother and Grandmother went home to God Sunday, July 22, 2001. Catherine Mary 'Kitty' Quinn Jaeger was 101 years, 11 months and 8 days old.

She was raised on a farm at Mayville, Ore.
On November 5, 1924 she married Arthur C. Jaeger. They had a wheat and cattle ranch 3 miles north of Condon. She was a hard worker and drove a wheat truck for harvest even after retiring to Woodburn.

She was Regent of the Catholic Daughters Court Victory and President of the Women's Club of Woodburn. A persistent worker for the people on East Hardcastle, she campaigned first for the paving of the street, then for the traffic light at 99E and Hardcastle; happily, she was successful in both endeavors.
