Tim Lister Obituary
1955 - 2012
Timothy Allen Lister passed away Wednesday evening, May 2, 2012, in Keizer, after a courageous fight against cancer.
Born on May 18, 1955, in Corvallis to Robert Myrl and Clara Bell Lister, Tim was one of nine siblings. He is survived by brothers Dale Lister, Mike Lister and Dan Lister; and sisters Virginia Groshong, Gloria Norton, Diannah Holter, Anita Lister and Rebecca Crose.
He grew up in the Corvallis, Halsey, Oakville and Albany areas, and graduated from West Albany High School. In the years following graduation, Tim worked for floor covering firms in Corvallis and Albany, doing a variety of flooring, carpet installations and remodeling jobs.
Around 1988, Tim moved to Juntura and spent the next 24 years creating a legend that will live on. Every family in the valleys and hills between Drewsey and Juntura has been touched by his helping hand.
Tim's love for life was all about the outdoors: fishing, hunting, trapping and sharing those skills, during the seasons, with all his great friends from the valley. He supported himself by working for the school districts of Drewsey and Juntura, doing landscaping, maintenance, repairs and construction.
A celebration of life will take place at 11 a.m. May 19 at the Drewsey Community Hall. Gifts in memory of Tim can be made to the American Cancer Society.
