LaVaughn "Oma" McGovern February 2, 1944 - June 27, 2016

LaVaughn "Oma" McGovern died peacefully at her home in Sisters on June 27.

LaVaughn moved to Sisters six years ago to be near her daughter and grandchildren. LaVaughn is survived by her daughter, Stacy Stabil Hougham; son-in-law Joey Hougham; his son, Wyatt; and LaVaughn's grandchildren, Olivia and Faith. Her son, Tony, and his wife, Rhonda, and their children Freddie, Brian and Jade; as well as LaVaughn's adorable granddaughter, Elena, live in Sweet Home, Oregon. LaVaughn is additionally missed and survived by her dear companion, Earl Hougham; his son, Donn; wife, Marni; and Donn's children Tessa and Brandon.

Her special friends Billie and Adrienne were some of the last people to share a conversation with LaVaughn, and their friendship was truly treasured. LaVaughn had many friends and loved ones, and her tenacity, resilience, huge heart and famous fried chicken will be missed by all.

LaVaughn was sober more than 20 years, and helped countless others in their addiction struggles. Donations made to Alcoholics Anonymous in her name would be a gift LaVaughn would truly appreciate. No memorial has yet been scheduled, but her life will be celebrated by friends and family later this summer. Please contact her daughter, Stacy, for additional information about LaVaughn's celebration of life at 541-408-3815.
