  Josephine "Josie" Margaret Salka passed away October 13, 2014, at home surrounded by family. She was born October 25, 1937 and was twelve days shy of her 77th birthday. Josie was born in Kimberly, Wisconsin to Theodore and Margaret (Lamers) Wachtendonk. She grew up in Wisconsin and graduated from Kimberly High School. On May 9, 1964, Josie married Donald "Don" W. Salka in Kimberly. They were blessed with four children, Ted, Darren (deceased), Bill and Beth. While the family began in Wisconsin and spent some years in Brooksville, Florida, Josie and Don lived and raised their family in White Salmon for the last thirty-five years. After their retirement, Josie and Don enjoyed traveling around the country, seeing new sights and visiting family and friends. Josie dearly loved her family and friends, and had a particular affinity for all children. She served several terms on the White Salmon School Board hoping to give back to the school system that had provided her children with excellent educations. She was always happiest when spending time with each of her seven grandchildren, Nick, Katie, Emma, Dara, Madeleine, Rachel, and Ethan. Josie will be profoundly missed by all who knew and loved her. Services are planned for 2 p.m., Saturday, November 8, 2014 at Bethel Congregational Church (480 E. Jewett Blvd, White Salmon, WA 98672), with a dinner to follow the memorial at the White Salmon Elks. All are welcome. A second memorial is being planned in Wisconsin on August 1, 2015. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that a donation be made to the Darren Salka Memorial Scholarship through the White Salmon Valley School District. Arrangements are under the direction of Anderson's Tribute Center (Funerals • Receptions • Cremations) 1401 Belmont Avenue, Hood River, Oregon 97031.
