Oregon mall shooting victims: Hospice nurse who loved to hike; gregarious entrepreneur
Dec-13-2012

Before shots rang out at the Clackamas Town Center Tuesday night, the mall was packed with children lined up to sit on Santa's lap, and middle school students who had just been released from school. There were 10,000 people in the mall that afternoon and three were shot: Cindy Yuille, 54, Steven Forsyth, 45, and Kristina Shevchenko, 15.
Yuille and Forsyth died; Shevchenko remains hospitalized at Oregon Health & Science University Hospital after being shot in the chest. She is expected to recover.
The gunman, identified as 22-year-old Jacob Tyler Roberts, killed himself inside the mall.
Yuille was not the type of person who enjoyed the mall, her family told the Oregonian. She preferred hiking and climbing. But she headed to the mall - once known for where Olympic figure skater Tonya Harding trained - possibly to buy a hat that her stepson had requested.
Originally from Southern California, Yuille moved to Portland in the early 1990s. Later, working as a hospice nurse at Kaiser Permanente, she met her husband, Robert Yuille, also a nurse on the hospice care team at Kaiser.
