A true childof Myrtle Point, Dolores was born Aug. 14, 1913, to Albert Roy Bert" and Amy (Goble) Davenport at home on Catching Creek, the fifth of 11 children.

She passeded away Feb. 25, 2012, at the Myrtle Point Care Center. She was called by many names, including Dolores, Deacon, Aunt Dolores, Auntie Deacon, Mom, Grandma and Great-grandma. Dolores was shaped by the work on the farm and the culture of her childhood. Her stories of walking to school in rain and snow were true as she walked two miles from the ranch on Catching Creek to Twin Oaks School for eight years.

She made lunches for herself and her siblings before school many of those years. She also broke more than one telephone insulator throwing rocks on the way home over the years. As a student at Myrtle Point High School she met her future husband, Flank Larsen. They were married on Sept. 20, 1934 in a family wedding on Catching Creek.

This marriage lasted nearly 59 years before Flanks death in 1993. Starting a family in the depths of the Great Depression required hard work and frugal living and her early years left her well suited for the task. She raised her children with a gentle heart and caflused hands while teaching a work ethic through example. In the early years of her marriage they lived in logging camps at several locations on Coos River. They moved back to Catching Creek in 1945 and then to a small ranch at Broadbent in 1949.

Dolores did the work of the ranch and raising the family while Frank worked in the woods. She milked many cows, grew expansive gardens and always had a full dinner on the table every night. There was never want in her house. We all knew that there were others who had more stuff but we were rich beyond our dreams. The family moved back to a dairy farm on Catching Creek in 1958 and spent 10 years there before returning to Broadbent.

As her family grew, Dolores was a natural as grandma. Many of her grandchildren believe she was the best grandma in the world. She also grew into the role of matriarch of her large extended family and was dearly loved by many nieces and nephews and their growing families. The annual 4th of July Davenport Reunion became her stage to preserve the large extended family. She became the cement that bound a vast extended family that had spread across many states.

Auntie Deacon and her chicken tamales were a center piece of the family gathering. After raising a family and retiring from the dairy farm, she worked for many years at Myers and Myers Department Store She had the opportunity to travel across the country to visit family and friends. She enjoyed a trip to Hawaii to visit with her grandson, Aaron Larsen, who was stationed there as a young U.S. Army officer. She visited the gravesite of Phillip Bartlett while there, a native son of Myrtle Point and family Mend killed in action in World Warn.
