Cynthia Jane Baxter

Cynthia Jane Baxter, 79, passed away peacefully at home in Chehalis on June 1, 2007, after a strong and courageous battle with cancer.
Jane was born March 29, 1928 to Cynthia Drew and Frank Conrad in Coquille OR, the youngest of four children. She attended schools in Oregon, Napavine and Chehalis and graduated from Western Union School in Santa Cruz, CA in 1946 where she received a diploma as a teleprint operator.
She worked with her husband, Jim, as owner/operator of Baxter's Corner Store and the Onalaska Tavern in the 1970's. She loved garage sales, was an avid reader, loved to do embroidery and knitting slippers for her children and grandchildren. She loved spending time with her family and socializing with close friends.
Jane always believed in the power of the full moon and her passing is no coincidence under the power of the rare blue moon.
She is survived by her husband, Jim, Chehalis; her son, Scott Baxter, her daughters and their companions Cindy Baxter and Ernie Fox, and Julie Nikander and Richard Pierce; all of Chehalis; her grandchildren, Gabe Guth in Japan, Noah and Zane Baxter in Vancouver, Jacie Bruner and her husband Luke in Germany, Drew Attaway in Chehalis, Abby Baxter in Tacoma; two great-granddaughters, Alice and Harmony Baxter, in Vancouver, and her sister and brother-in-law Nadine and Charlie Marshall of Olympia along with numerous nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death, by her son Kipp Baxter, her sister and brother-in-law, Mary Lou and Spencer Strasser, her brother Perry Conrad, and her parents.
The family would like to express special thanks to Dr. Strohbach, Dr. Black, Ray and Susan at South Tower Pharmacy and Cathy Hudson at hospice for all their caring and support.
Arrangements are under direction of Brown's Mortuary. At Jane's request a private family graveside service will be held at Alpha Cemetery.
