Archie Angelou Estes Pool
Archie Angelou Estes Pool, 91, passed away peacefully in her sleep on Sunday, Jan. 1, 2006. She was surrounded by family both physically and in spirit, leaving this world only after hearing from her four dearly loved daughters.
Archie was born March 12, 1915 in a little cottage deep in the Oklahoma “Pawpaw Bottoms” near Onapa, she was one of 11 children born to Archie Adolpheus and Ruth Canzanda Estes. She married Conrad B. “Pete” Pool Oct. 31, 1933 in Arvin, Calif. He preceded her in death Sept. 3, 1989 at the age of 79.
Archie found her life’s calling at 16 and never looked back. She worked without ceasing to her last breath, bringing love, hope, truth and the Gospel of Jesus Christ to family, friends and strangers who once met, became a part of her flock. In a time when few women were in positions of leadership, she believed that God called her to plant churches in small towns throughout the northwest. She pioneered and pastored dozens of churches throughout Northern California and Oregon. During her career, the Rev. Archie Pool would establish and lead a congregation and her husband, a carpenter would build them a church. Once a church became strong and flourishing, they would begin their mission work in another community. Her ministry spanned more than 74 years and touched lives all over the world.
Through her faith and hard work, Assemblies of God churches sprang up in Oregon in Independence, Idanha, Warrenton and Clatskanie. She began churches in Fort Seward and Arcata, Calif. and revived churches in places like Trinidad, Canby, Anderson and Ferndale, Calif.; as well as Merrill. When she retired and eventually moved in to Lakewood Pointe Assisted Living, she continued to gather her flock holding Bible Studies and reaching out to those around her as a living example of God’s love and faithfulness. She believed that God had put her there to fill a need, and she intended to fill it.
Never known to tell a lie or speak a judgmental word, she was seen by many as a loving spirit full of laughter and wisdom. She loved family, young people and singing old Gospel songs. She especially loved mountains, the rock formations upon them and the sound of train whistles. Two of her most favorite bible verses were Psalm 121: I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help...; and Psalm 118: ...The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust...
Archie, named for the father she adored, is survived by four daughters and sons-in-law; Treva and Chuck Kelley of Lakeview, Joanne and Frank Gilmore of Eureka, Calif., Connie and Ray Gleaton of Cottonwood, Calif. and Cindy Johnson and Jack Russell of Scottsmoore, Fla.; grandchildren; Sharon Liddycoat, Jimmy Norman, Kevin Clifton, Dennis Clifton, Sabrina Hagl, Shane Johnson, Isaac Gleaton, Rachael Gleaton, Tony Bishop, Michael Bishop, Kim, Scott and Glenn Kelley; brother, Ted Estes of Stockton, Calif.; and numerous nieces and nephews.
