ERIN JUNE YARBER - Age 15, of Albany, Oregon, died Tuesday, September 11, 2007, at her home among her family. She was the daughter of Rebecca Yarber and twin to Eric Yarber. She was the granddaughter of David and June Yarber of Albany, Oregon. Erin was the great granddaughter of Letha Yarber and the late Ferrell Yarber of Mountain View, Missouri. She was the great niece of Sue and Anthony Joyner of Mountain View, Missouri; Larry and Cheryl Yarber of Mountain Grove, Missouri; Bill and Rhonda Yarber of Doniphan, Missouri; and Carolyn Jenkins of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Erin was a strong presence both academically and in the community. Always being creative as a young child, she developed a gift of painting and poetry. She also was a gifted vocalist in her school's choir. In her short life, Erin impacted many with her talents and personality. Erin was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer on January 16, 2006. She endured many trips to Doernbecher Children's Hospital in Portland, Oregon for radiation and chemotherapy treatments. After subsequent treatments, it became important to Erin to give something back. She began collecting her own change and spearheaded for "Friends of Doernbecher."  Erin became impassioned to raise additional funds for the hospital. Susan Heinze, whose daughter is also fighting brain cancer, proposed the idea to have Erin's artwork reduced and printed on note cards to be sold in various stores throughout Corvallis, Oregon with 100 percent of all proceeds for "Friends of Doernbecher."  Erin was thrilled beyond words that her artwork would continue to inspire others to live up to her motto, "Never give up, never surrender." After leaving Doernbecher, Erin entered hospice care with Sharon Wentz as her registered nurse. Sharon recognized Erin's talents and orchestrated an art show of Erin's paintings. Hospice care allowed Erin to remain at home with the care and support of her family. Erin is survived by her loving mother, Becky; twin brother, Eric; and adoring grandparents, David and June. Included also are numerous close-knit family members. "We will all miss her greatly-she has left a huge void." A memorial service to celebrate Erin's life was held on Friday, September 14, 2007, at Circle Church of Christ in Albany, Oregon. Her art work was displayed at the service. Any memorial contributions should be made to Doernbecher Children's Hospital, 1121 S.W. Salmon St., Portland, Oregon 97205.  [Courtesy of The Current Wave.]
