Warren Washington, ’59, M.S. ’60, ’06 (Hon. Ph.D)
Warren Washington died on Oct. 18, 2024, in Denver, Colorado, at the age of 88. After finishing his degrees at Oregon State, Washington became the second Black student in the country to receive a Ph.D. in meteorology. A pioneering developer of the first computer models of Earth’s atmosphere, his groundbreaking work helped measure climate with unprecedented accuracy. What he discovered concerned him greatly; in the 1980s, he was among the first scientists to sound the alarm about climate change. As a senior scientist for the National Center for Atmospheric Research for more than 50 years, he advised five White House administrations and mentored generations of researchers. His accolades include the 2019 Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement; the National Medal of Science (2010); and, as part of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. Washington and his wife, Mary, established OSU’s largest endowed scholarship fund for students engaged in climate studies. He is survived by Mary; three daughters, Teri Ciocco, Kim Pierce and Tracy Smith; and 10 grandchildren.

Holley Franklin, ’79
The Beavers lost a fierce fan when Holley (Young) Franklin, attorney, died at the age of 67. Franklin graduated from Oregon State in 1979; there, she joined the Alpha Phi sorority, serving as chapter president during her senior year. In addition to a law career spanning nearly four decades and service on the boards of youth empowerment and leadership organizations, Franklin was an ardent Beavers supporter. A football season ticket holder for more than 30 years, she was also, according to her daughter Kate, a baseball “fanatic.” In another life, she often said, she might have been a sports agent. Franklin is survived by her husband, Richard Franklin; daughters Kate Kitchell and Kelsey Virnig; five grandchildren; and three siblings, Dr. Jeffery Young, ’77; Kelley (Young) Harrington, ’81; and Christopher Young, ’84.

Melody Oldfield
Melody Oldfield, former assistant vice president of university relations and marketing at Oregon State, died in January at her home in North Carolina. She was 60. In 1999, searching for a change of scenery after about a decade in Georgia, she and her husband, Darrell, moved to Corvallis, where she began working in OSU’s marketing department. There, she steered the development of a cohesive brand identity for the university, launching the Powered By Orange campaign in 2009. During her 24 years at OSU, Oldfield was known for her collaborative ethos. “I think we all learned how to be the leaders we are today because of her mentorship,” said Laura Shields, former director of university marketing. Outside of the workplace, she was an avid traveler and a regular at the Corvallis Area Corgi Picnic. Oldfield is survived by her husband, her mother and her sister.
