Citizen thanks the Littlefields

To all who knew Bill and Sharon Littlefield who moved to Shady Cove around 1945 when population back then was in the 700’s. Population wasn’t documented until 1977, then it was around 1000 people.

They both did amazing volunteer work, which earned them the “Outstanding Lifetime Volunteer” award. You can show your appreciation and memories with them at their memorial bench sitting outside of Miguel’s restaurant in Shady Cove and then enjoy a delicious Mexican meal.

Thank you Bill and Sharon for all of your support and love and time you gave in our little town. You will never be forgotten. Love & miss you .

Ruth Marie
