Yonia Ann Kalhar

I was born the 3rd of 3 children of Ray and Kye Delsman. Baby 1 was still-born. Baby 2, Timothy Raymond Delsman. Baby 3, Yonia Ann Delsman. We grew up in Hillsboro, Oregon where dad had filbert trees on Garibaldi St. for a while and then bought a winery on Jackson St. We kids went to St. Matthew school, Mom and Dad worked the farm. Most of dad's sisters and brothers went to St. Matthew.

After high school, I went to work in a one-girl doctor office for two years then moved to an office in Portland for 6 years. In 1972, I was in the Miss Oregon Pageant and won the Miss Congeniality award. I think that is why Tony Spiering married me, "nice personality" . We have four sons, Justin (Jamie and Jameson), Barry, Andy (Trisha, Tana, Parker, and Madi), and Mark (Brittany, Kaylee, Emma, and Charley Jo). Pretty big family and lots of fun.

In 1996, I married Mike Kalhar, son Troy (Kelly), and daughter Diane (Haley and Garrett). We were very lucky with this blended family, good times and good friends.

Thank you all for being in my life,
Yonia
