Sallie M. Haynes

In loving memory of Sallie Haynes, who passed away on May 12, 2024. Sallie was born in Bandon, Oregon December 5, 1954. She married Clint Haynes in North Bend, Oregon, February 14, 1983, and together they shared a beautiful life.

Sallie was a remarkable cook, known for her delicious zucchini bread and her festive Christmas treats—peanut butter and butterscotch cookies, affectionately referred to as “Reindeer turds.” Her culinary talents brought joy to many, especially during the holiday season.

For over 20 years, Sallie served as the Garden Store Manager at Coos Grange Store. Her green thumb and passion for gardening inspired those around her. She loved tending to her own garden, camping, and exploring the great outdoors. Whether digging for clams or crabbing by the coast, Sallie found solace in nature.

Her collection of nutcrackers was a testament to her eclectic interests. Ranging from 6 feet to 3 inches in height, these whimsical figures adorned her home and brought smiles to visitors. Sallie’s zest for life and her ability to find beauty in the everyday made her a true gem—a diamond in the rough.

She leaves behind cherished memories and a legacy of warmth, kindness, and laughter. Sallie will be dearly missed by her family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her.

May she rest in peace.

A Celebration of Life will be held at The Coach House, 604 6th Street in Coos Bay, July 13, 2024 from 12 to 4 pm.
