KATHY KRAUSE LHS Class of 1986

5/15/1968 ~ 4/14/2025

Post by Kristin Marks Roslund, LHS Class of 1986

April 22, 2025

Dear Friends,

For those of you who have yet to hear, we have lost another dear member of the Lincoln High School class of 1986, Kathy Krause. It is with a very heavy heart that I share the sad news of Kathy’s passing.

Kathy had faced some health challenges for some time, which we all had hoped she could overcome. Kathy’s husband, Russ, is not much of a social media person, nor am I, but we feel It appropriate to share our difficult news. Please help us share with those you feel would like to know.

Kathy had a huge love and deep relationship with her parents Drs. AI and Jane Krause, and with her adoring and devoted husband, Russ Eaton, all three of whom split their time between homes In Vancouver, WA and Camp Sherman, OR. Kathy is also survived by her younger sister, Carolyn E. Wiley. And of course, Kathy and Russ's darling (but huge!) Golden Retriever, Jackson.

Kathy gave much of her life to the Oregon Film business. She was there from the very beginning. I fondly remember driving her to Astoria for her very first Interview for her very first movie, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III - that's how early she was to the scene. She actually wore pantyhose and heels to that Interview. I'm guessing she never wore them again after that day! I waited In the car, while she landed the Office Production Assistant position. We drove back to Portland In one of our old Subarus, completely oblivious to what the future had In store for her. But from that day forward she was a monumental part of Oregon's film Industry. And through many long days of work on many productions, she became a member of the DGA (Director’s Guild of America), rising to the role of 1st Assistant Director, a rare female In such a position.

Kathy also gave her heart to many causes that touched her deeply, Including Parkinson’s Resources of Oregon. She created, produced and contributed to many Parkinson’s fundraising films over the years, using all her skills and passion gathering crew, equipment and resources to make them a success. She loved the Metolius Basin and Camp Sherman and when she found out that It was slated for development as a destination resort, she worked tirelessly with the community to stop that process, lobbying the state legislature to designate the Metolius river basin an Area of Critical State Concern. Those efforts resulted In the passage of Senate BIII 30, signed Into law by the Governor on the banks of the Metolius River. She spent countless hours photographing and fishing with Russ, Jackson, and her parents, up and down the Metolius river, and all around the state of Oregon.

Cooking - I mean really cooking - was another of Kathy’s loves. She was, hands- down, the best chef I know and could create a stellar meal on a whim with what was In her fridge! Sitting down to a meal at Russ & Kathy’s home was always a broad spectrum gastronomical delight. Our love language was sharing recipes with each other. I will miss that, but I will especially miss her.

Kathy’s Impact on Oregon and our hearts will remain. She will be remembered and missed. I have had many lovely conversations with her (our) friends In the days since her passing on April 14, 2025. She would love all of us reconnecting. Let's all try to be better about that- for her, please. Pick up the phone and call a friend you are missing.  Xoxo KMR

Dr. Neil Talbot Jumonville,

LHS Class of 1970

October 7, 1952 – September 8, 2022

Neil was the best and brightest of us in many ways. His distinguished academic career at Reed, Columbia, Harvard and Florida State was stellar. He wrote for the Village Voice in New York City during his Columbia days. I spent time with Neil at Harvard from 1989-1990, where he was a dear friend and advisor. He will be missed by many in the Lincoln High School Community. RIP my dear friend!
