Donald F. Baggerly, 84, of Baker City, died July 17, 2021, at his residence surrounded by his loving family.

Don was born September 27, 1934, in Meridian, Idaho, to Dean and Frances (Bamford) Baggerly. He grew up in the Keating Valley area and studied in that district until moving to Baker High School, graduating in 1954. After graduation, he joined the Army and served two and a half years.

On April 13, 1962, in Winnemucca, Nevada, Don married the love of his life, Barbara Allen Rush. They had one son, David Allen Baggerly. Don is proud of his family and is always there when they need him.

Don decided he wanted to drive a truck, so he started his own trucking business, contracting with Marvin Wood Products to haul lumber. Don also helped his wife at the clothing store, BJS Apparel, arranging items that needed attention, making books, and giving her the support she needed to run her business.

He enjoys working with his scroll saw, doing yard work, and is very proud of his garden. He and Barb will travel on their motor home to Arizona most winters, but will begin work on his yard once they return to Baker City in the spring.

Don is a member of the First Christian Church.

Don is survived by his wife of 59 years, Barbara Baggerly of Baker City; his son David Allen Baggerly of Baker City; his brother, Richard (Bonnie) Baggerly of Echo; 10 grandchildren, three great -grandchildren, four great -grandchildren, and many nieces.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Dean and Frances Baggerly; a sister, Evelyn Stewart, her brother, Gaylord; and his two step-sons, Ronald and Donald Rush.

The family is proposing donations in memory of the Dons to be given to St. Judes Childrens Hospital, by Grays West & Company, 1500 Dewey Ave., Baker City, OR 97814.
