Millard Whaley, 86, a 62-year-resident of Peshastin, Washington, went home to his Lord at his home on Wednesday, September 23, 2009. He was born to Jethro and Bessie Bohannon Whaley on the Middle Fork of the Wolf River, North Carolina, on July 9, 1923. He grew up in the mountains of Tennessee and Virginia where the hard times created a strong man. During WWII he proudly served in Patton’s 3rd Army, 65th Division, 720th Battalion, Field Artillery. He and his new bride, Lizzie moved to the Leavenworth area in 1947. Millard was a farmer, soldier, logger, orchardist and a heavy equipment operator. He worked on the Icicle River Road and the North Cascade State Highway. He enjoyed fishing and gardening and loved sharing the fruits of his garden later with friends and family. Millard and Lizzie had special hearts, opening their hearts and lives to adopt a son, Danny and a daughter, Darla. A loving quiet man of great internal strength. He was preceded in death by 3 sisters and 2 brothers; and by his heart, his loving wife of 57 years, 3 days, Lizzie. He is survived by 2 brothers, Freeman Stoner of Peshastin and Ernest Stoner of Sevierville, Tennessee; a son, Danny Millard Whaley and his wife Jexix of East Wenatchee and a daughter, Darla Lou Ames and her husband Theodore of Bothell; 5 grandchildren, Bryan and Carl Whaley, Chelsea Port, Timothy Ames and his wife Erika, Alisa Ames and a great-grandchild expected soon. A special thanks goes to the Cowan family that gave a man the chance to build a home; and to Carrie Octaviano, a very special care giver.
