Adolph Carl Weinke, 91, of Pilot Rock, Oregon, passed away on July 12, 2017, at Juniper House in Pendleton. A Recitation of the Holy Rosary will be held Sunday, July 16, 2017, at 7:00 p.m. at Burns Mortuary of Pendleton. Mass of Christian Burial will be held Monday, July 17, 2017, at 10:00 a.m. at St. Helen’s Catholic Church in Pilot Rock. Burns Mortuary of Pendleton is in charge of arrangements.
Adolph was born on December 20, 1925, at Nolin, Oregon, to Carl and Ella (Kurth) Weinke, their fourth of seven children. In 1930 the family settled in Pilot Rock, Oregon, where Adolph attended school, graduating in 1944.
He was married on February 22, 1957, in Pilot Rock to Mary Kathryn Swauger/Court. They welcomed four children and raised their family in Pilot Rock. Together the family became staples at two annual events: The Umatilla County Cattlemen’s Picnic and the Umatilla County Fair. They also enjoyed Sunday afternoon adventures to pick fruit (one of Adolph’s favorite pastimes) and explore all over Eastern Oregon. Family was very important to Adolph — you could find him in the crowd of any of his children’s or grandchildren’s many activities.
He was a hardworking man who farmed and ranched in the Pilot Rock community for more than 70 years. He enjoyed home-cooked meals with family, especially when they were followed up with an apple pie baked by his wife. His other hobbies included hunting, fishing, raising and tending to fruit trees, and horseback riding.
He was a former PGG board director, and a member of the Pendleton Elks Lodge, county and state Cattlemen’s Associations, Oregon Wheat League, Umatilla County Historical Society, Pendleton Jr. Livestock Show Advisory Board and Pilot Rock Booster Club.
Adolph is preceded in death by five of his siblings.
He is survived by his wife Katie of Pilot Rock; children Rebecca (Tom) Bare of Goldendale, Wash., and Laura (Sam) Byrnes, Michael (Nancy) Weinke and Timothy (Joan) Weinke, all of Pilot Rock; brother William Weinke of Pilot Rock; 11 grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.
