Orofino, Idaho-Window on the Clearwater

Margaret Martha (Hall) Herndon passed away peacefully Saturday, Dec. 27, 2014, at Life Care Center of Lewiston. Two of Margaret's nieces, Suzan and Barbara, were with her.

Margaret was the oldest daughter of Samuel and Martha Hall. She was born July 27, 1920, in Culdesac. Her brother and sisters were Bill, Alice and Frances Hall. They grew up on their family farm in Culdesac. Samuel and his brother farmed about 800 acres. After their father passed, Margaret stayed home to help her mother with the farm and her younger sister, Frances. Her brother Bill went into the service and her sister went to Seattle with a bus full of young women to work at Todd Shipyard during the war.

Margaret had one son, James Carlisle, when she met and married Leslie Herndon, who had five children. Together they raised six children. Leslie was a farmer and rancher in Culdesac, Grangemont and Orofino. They had horses, cattle, chickens and more on the ranch. They had about 4,000 acres in different areas. Margaret loved to plant a garden every year. She raised vegetables and fruit that she could can for the winter.

Margaret moved to Lewiston in 1984-1985 after Leslie passed on Aug. 7, 1983. She started a new life without Leslie, living in the city, where she experienced a different kind of life than on the ranch. Margaret had neighbors next door and across the street. She could go to restaurants and stores that were a block away. Margaret had a large fenced backyard for entertaining. She loved having family and friends come over. She enjoyed the fair in the summer. She would enter some of her favorite flowers to be judged. She loved anything to do with family. She enjoyed looking up family history and she kept newspaper clippings of all the family. She would help others with newspaper clippings when they needed them. She had lists of illnesses, deaths, births and pictures of most of the family.

Margaret was involved in many organizations: wounded warriors, garden clubs, craft clubs and the veterans' hospital. She made dozens and dozens of cookies and lots of chili for chili feeds. She volunteered to go early to every event to make coffee so it would be ready, even though she never had a cup. Margaret would drink tea. She enjoyed working during the elections and helping her neighbors get signed up to vote in Grangemont. She was involved with her church, Lewiston Foursquare Church. She enjoyed visiting with people and doing many things to help others.

Miss Kitty was Margaret's companion. Miss Kitty was the only animal that was able to live in her home with her. Miss Kitty showed up at her door one rainy day all wet. Margaret said she brought the cat in to dry her off and feed her. When she put her outside, Miss Kitty stayed right there. She wasn't going anywhere. After a while Miss Kitty became Margaret's cat. Miss Kitty was always by Margaret's side. Margaret has many nieces and nephews near and far. Margaret's brother Bill and many family members have served in the military. She is very proud of them.

Margaret was preceded in death by her husband, Leslie Herndon; parents, Samuel and Martha Hall; son, James Carlisle; brother, Bill Hall; sister, Alice Hall Gaudio, stepchildren, Merle and Mick Herndon.

She is survived by her sister, Frances Hall Nelson; stepchildren, Gladys Kendrick and John and Don Herndon; and her sister-in-law, Gladys Hall.

Margaret's funeral will be held at noon Friday at Vassar-Rawls Funeral Home and Crematory in Lewiston. Burial will follow at Lewis-Clark Memorial Gardens in Lewiston.

On Thursday, Nov. 13, 2014, our sweet baby girl, Devann Marie Maurer, 17, of Lewiston, passed away.

Devann was born Dec. 2, 1996, to the proud parents of Dan and Amber Maurer and big brother DJ. Devann was in the midst of her senior year at Lewiston High School. Prior to her time at LHS, she attended preschool at Lapwai, elementary school at both Centennial and McSorley, and then her junior high years were at Jenifer Junior High, all in Lewiston. She also was taking many classes through Lewis-Clark State College and had the goal of one day working in the medical field. She had most recently been honored by an Upward Bound Scholarship through the University of Idaho Extension to help with her college fees.

She was an active, vibrant and fiery little redhead with the smarts and academics to match. Dare challenge her, and it only fueled her competitive spirit to succeed. In addition to her internal fortitude, she had a heart bigger than any I have known. She took the time to always be grateful for others and always looked to make new acquaintances. She was a great coach. Whether teaching her little sister, Dayvee, how to read and write, play soccer, or helping others on the soccer field, she naturally loved to share and help others succeed.

Devann's favorite hobby was soccer, although she loved fishing, four-wheeling and camping. Hanging with her buds in the trenches of the soccer field was her thing. Unfortunately, she was smaller than she knew. She suffered two ACL reconstructive surgeries at 14 and 15 years of age, both after she made Olympic Development teams. During her first recovery, while in physical therapy, she suffered from a kidney failure episode. Most kids would have given up, but it truly only motivated her. She worked harder than ever to overcome her setbacks and made it back to her varsity team for both her junior and senior seasons of high school. Although she decided to retire, her skills and grit had been noticed by some colleges, and that made her feel accomplished.

She also participated in the Distinguished Young Woman program for Lewiston. She said it was a wonderful experience and she found a new, amazing set of friends. She was looking forward to the program this year and highly encouraged other girls to participate. She was voted most inspirational by her teammates this past season in soccer and was also voted to receive the Spirit of the DYW program of 2013.

Her most special relationship was with her baby sister. You can rarely find a photo of Dayvee in it without her big sister there. She loved her sister more than anything. Her mother was her best friend, where she could find comfort and solitude. She and her older brother shared their same redheaded humor. She was also very connected to her Grandma Candy, and we find peace knowing she was welcomed with warm and open arms. Devann, we all love you to the cabin moon.

Devann is survived by her brother and sister, DJ and Dayvee; mother and father, Dan and Amber; grandparents Earl Maurer, Don and Betsy Fisher of Lenore, and Neil Anderson of Polson, MT; aunts and uncles, Bob Maurer and Juanita Picard-Harris, Dori Anderson and Rob Reed of Clarkston, WA, Jason and Cari Castle of Fort Benning, GA., and Brian and Stephanie Stachofsky of Clarkston; cousins Aaliyah Maurer, Joe Vallee, Brenden Reed, Tucker Wilson, Michael Maurer, Zac Maurer, Paige and Meagan Stachofsky, and Kaci, Jordan and Hanna Castle.

She was preceded in death by her grandmother, Candace Maurer; uncle Charles Maurer; great-grandfathers Gordy Anderson, Robert Willer and Fred Maurer; and great-grandmother Gratia Willer.

Funeral arrangements are being handled by Vassar-Rawls Funeral Home of Lewiston. A memorial celebration will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday at Valley Christian Center, 3215 Echo Hills Drive, in Lewiston. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you consider donations to the Devann Maurer Memorial/Scholarship Fund at any branch of Potlach No. 1 Federal Credit Union, or online at gofundme.com/h9zmgg.

Jim Spencer, beloved husband, dad and grandpa, lost his brave battle with cancer Wednesday, Nov. 5, 2014, at St. Joseph Regional Medical Center in Lewiston, with family by his side. He was 83.

Dad was born March 17, 1931, in Troy. He was the middle of three sons of Herbert and Phoebe Johnson Spencer. He graduated from Troy High School in 1949 and was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1950. He was stationed in Anchorage, AK, and honorably discharged in 1953.

After returning home, he was reunited with the love of his life, Judy Asplund. They were married Aug. 22, 1953, at the Nazarene Church in Troy. In 1955, they moved to Spokane so dad could continue his education studying mechanics at Spokane Vocational and Tech. After graduating in 1958, they moved back to Troy.

Next to our mom, dad's other love was driving a truck. He started his career driving for Carl Carbon and Sons and then went on to drive for Poppie Corp, Cay's Rock Crushing, and eventually retired from North Idaho Crushing. It was a career that spanned more than 50 years!

Dad was happiest when he was outdoors. He loved to take his family on camping trips and cut firewood every fall. He was a member of the Moscow Post of the American Legion. Dad was a hard-working family man who loved us as much as we loved him. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him.

He is survived by his wife of 61 years, Judy, at the family home; two sons, Forrest Spencer of Uniontown and Keith Spencer and his wife Colleen of Elk River; daughter Lisa Gludt and husband Doug of Lewiston; brother, Richard Spencer of Troy; six grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Our family would like to thank the staff of St. Joseph Regional Medical Center and St. Joseph Cancer Center for the wonderful, compassionate care our dad received throughout his illness.

Leonard Tracy Teed, 61 of Weippe passed away Friday, Nov. 7, 2014 at his residence in Weippe.

Norm passed away Monday, Nov. 3, 2014, of natural causes at 87 years of age. A true Idaho innovator and individual, he was born in Meridian, Idaho, on Sept. 29, 1927 to Voyne and Bernice Riddle and was the youngest of two boys.

Norm grew up and was schooled in Mountain Home, Idaho, and joined the U.S. Army in 1944. After his discharge, he married Patricia Kimball in 1949. After the births of his sons, Michael and Douglas, the Riddles moved to northern Idaho during the lumber boom in Grangemont, above Orofino. He worked on log trucks, eventually building his own. Norm was a gyppo logger.

Because of his great love for tinkering, he and a partner started a saw shop in Orofino, selling and repairing motorcycles on the side. Norm saw the future in that and moved to Lewiston to start Lewiston Saw and Cycle. This was the first Homelite dealership in Lewiston, and it also sold various motorcycles. During this time, Norm and Patricia welcomed children Marty, Becky and a surprise late daughter, Leslie.

Motorcycles were the craze in the late 1950s and early '60s, and Norm was racing, winning and placing in the most prestigious Northwest races. Norm was always seeking new things to try, and when he saw the new line of motorcycles from Japan, he jumped on the opportunity to open the 29th Honda dealership in the U.S. He took it upon himself to convert the Honda into a trail bike, something not available anywhere in the world. He designed all of the accessories to bolt on, and thus started an aluminum welding and fabrication shop, Western Alloys, to build all of these parts. Soon, Honda dealerships all around the U.S. were ordering parts from him to add onto their bikes. In 1961, Norm sold so many bikes that Honda brought him to Japan to honor him and other large dealers. By the next year, Honda came out with most of Norm's innovations on their new trail bikes.

In 1965, Norm and boat marine owner Chuck Cassell decided to go deer hunting in Hells Canyon. With their sons, both named Doug, and two Honda bikes in the back of Chuck's 19-foot fiberglass inboard/outboard boat, they went into Hells Canyon. Upon the return, Norm's gears were turning, "I want a boat." This started a new chapter in his life. He would be boating on that river for many years to come, becoming a guide, fishing, hunting, holding tours and building a lodge in the upper depths of the canyon in the 1970s.

In the 1960s, Norm was commissioned by Valley Boat to build aluminum jet boat hulls for the Potlatch Forest log drives on the North Fork of the Clearwater River. After that, he was contacted by the U.S. Forest Service, Fish and Game as well as other river outfitters to build these new aluminum jet boats. In 1968, Norm started Weldcraft Custom Boats, which quickly grew in business. He sold his Honda shop to Roger Becker, one of Norm's mentored friends. Near this time, the lodge went up at Kirby Creek on the Snake River, which encouraged him to design and build a better boat to reach the depths of Hells Canyon. He started Snake River Outfitters, Rafting, and Jetboating. By 1978, Norm desired to be on the river full time and opted to sell Weldcraft to his son, Doug.

In 1982, Norm met and married Edie and gained another son, Mike Milano. They ran the Kirby Creek Lodge until retirement in 1997. Norm and Edie were inseparable for 32 years and lived an even busier retirement. Riding four-wheelers became a passion. He and Edie were active in the Northwest All-Terrain Vehicle Club. He always had a project or invention he was working on, and was frequently busy at Doug's boat shop with special projects. He was also one of the founders of the Northwest River Runners, along with Rich Rogers and Barry Barnes. They worked to keep the river open to multiple uses for all, against the U.S. government. Norm lived and worked at what he loved. If you were on any of his many outings, you were always having fun.

Norm is survived by his wife, Edie; children, Mike (Tracy) Milano of Palouse, Mike (Nicki) Riddle, Doug (Mary Lou) Riddle, Marty Riddle, Becky (Barry) Fagan, all of Lewiston and Leslie (Chuck) Jausoro and former wife, Pat, both of Walla Walla; 11 grandchildren; and 10 great-grandchildren with one on the way. In addition, Norm is survived by his valued four-wheeler friends, Jack Mann and Jim McIver; and jet boating friends Ernie Heimgartner, Dave Medlock, Mike Rector and Roy Lombardo; and his other son, Randy Olmstead.

The memorial service will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at the Clarkston Event Center, 841 Sixth St.

Mark and Amber (Bach) Hanna welcomed their first of three children, Harriette Amber, on Sept. 29, 1934 in Orofino. Harriette was a natural leader from an early age which led to her involvement in baton twirling, playing baritone saxophone in band, and field hockey in her college years. Her energy was insurmountable; she was a powerful influence for many during her 79 years.

After she graduated from Orofino High School in 1953, she attended the University of Idaho in Moscow, receiving her bachelor's degree with emphasis in physical education and biology. She was active in the university's Delta Delta Delta Sorority and the Catholic Newman Club. One day she saw "this handsome older man across campus," Donald A. Kamp of Harrison, ID, and in 1957 she married him in Kellogg, ID. Together the couple taught at Kellogg High School. The pair was well known for their partnership on the ballroom dance floor. In the years that followed, they moved to Walla Walla, WA where Harriette continued to teach at the high school level.

When their first child, Kaye, was born, Harriette chose to stay home to care for her and the twins, Brian and LouAnn, born two and a half years later. The family enjoyed years of camping throughout the Northwest and Canada. Harriette was a highly involved parent serving as a Camp Fire Leader, a member of the district Camp Fire Outdoor Committee, and joining her son on Boy Scout hiking and camping ventures sometimes as the only mom amongst the dads and sons.

She returned to school attending Fort George Wright College where she received a Master's degree in General Science. She continued her teaching career when her twins were in high school teaching wilderness survival at Gonzaga University. Harriette was best known for her ballroom (social) dance programs at Gonzaga University and Spokane Falls Community College for three decades influencing countless Zags and Spokanites to "trip the light fantastic." Even though Ginger Rogers could "do everything Fred Astaire did except backward and in high heels," Harriette could whip anyone into shape to "dance with the

She became the first female Moose Lodge Member in Washington State. Harriette was a devout member of Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Catholic Parish.

Harriette will never be forgotten for her infectious laugh, boundless energy, compassionate devotion to her family, and her zest for life.

Harriette is survived by her children: Kaye, Brian (Catherine), and LouAnn (David); grandchildren: Vaughn, Kara, Megan (Michael), Hanna, Bobby (Vanessa), Michael (Beth), and Bryan; one great-grandchild, Arianna; one brother, Mark (Linda) Hanna of Orofino, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Division) with a Rosary following at at Assumption Parish. A Funeral Mass was held on Saturday, April 12, also at Assumption Parish.

After retiring from the University, Susan and David purchased the White Pine Motel in Orofino and have lived there the past 13 years.

She married David L. Goetz in 1977 and made their home in Moscow, where they raised three daughters together. Susan enjoyed being involved in all her daughters' activities for band and sports. She volunteered her time in the elementary school classrooms, chaperoned many band trips to festivals and classroom field trips and was active with the Moscow Bear Boosters for many years. Susan made it a priority to attend every sporting event and band concert and always emphasized the importance of education.

While her daughters were in school, Susan's home was often the gathering place for most of the volleyball or basketball team at any given time and always a place the neighborhood children would congregate, as she had a way of making everyone feel welcome and enjoyed having company.

The family has fond memories of camping trips, especially around Dworshak, and traveling to be with family for the holidays, sporting events and other special activities; however, her favorite pastime for the last 10 years was spending time with her grandchildren.

During her lifetime Eva Mae enjoyed her family and friends. She worked hard her whole life at various jobs. She was a waitress, cleaned houses, and worked her way up from a dish washer to head cook at Clearwater Valley Hospital in Orofino. She retired in 1984.

Eva Mae enjoyed housework and television (especially movies with a happy ending), and some soap operas and game shows. She loved to go fishing, and told of times when she and Alvin (Cub) and another friend hiked to Skull Creek and caught big fish. During that time the area was only accessible by walking.

She was stricken with Alzheimer's, and only thanks to the care of her husband (while he was alive) and her son, and a caretaker (Gwen), was she able to stay home.

Eva Mae was preceded in death by her parents, Thomas and Alice Howard; her husband, Alvin Fay; sister, Nona Criswell; and brother, Harry Howard.

She leaves behind her daughters, Rosetta Christopher of Powderville, MT, and Irene Dowd of Clarkston, WA; a son, Gary Fay of Orofino; and two grandsons, her great-grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews.

Mom often said she wanted to go home, and asked, would we just take her there? It is our wish that she is home now, with loved ones that passed before her.

A graveside service will be held Thursday, Oct. 9 at 11 a.m. at Melrose Cemetery, near Gifford.

On a rainy day in September 1995, God blessed our family with a unique and pure soul, Mikray George Morris Moser. From the beginning, he was always climbing to new heights. He would climb doorjambs, then trees. As a toddler, he was under the constant supervision of his sister, Mallori, which would cause a disturbance as he did not always want to go where she thought he should. Just prior to his second birthday, he was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder that required a bone marrow transplant. His sister stepped up and gave him what he needed. He never slowed down.

Upon starting the first day of kindergarten, while his mother had concerns, in true form, Mikray turned before leaving and gave her a thumbs up - just as he did on his graduation day. He has always been a fighter, not one of those who caused trouble. The one that fights for good, he was the red Power Ranger or the Robin Hood in video games. Against his mother's pleas, he liked war and battle games.

Mikray loved playing soccer and would play both seasons in the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley, even with a broken arm. When you're blessed with a father of 6 feet 7 inches, Mikray grew tall. He played basketball into high school, but jumping was what he really liked. He had great practice as our family went through two trampolines. He would jump from one piece of furniture to another; jump over fences or onto buildings. So when track season came, he joined the team in all the jumping events.

Mikray was a member of 4-H. He took market lamb and horse projects. He came away with knowledge, public service and many friends. Mikray enjoyed cars, engines and motorcycles, and any medium that can be tinkered with, disassembled and reassembled. Like many young men, it gave him freedom. He had a 1970 Nova as a project car. Many plans were made about how to finish it. He ended up driving a Firebird his senior year. Learning seemed easy for Mikray. He rarely studied but graduated with honors. His senior project was to build a fast gaming computer at reasonable cost. True to form, two hours after parts arrived, Mikray had his computer built at one-third of the cost. He planned on getting a computer engineering degree through the U.S. Air Force until he was diagnosed with cancer last October.

Mikray had a sense of humor that he shared. He avoided negativity. He considered himself a Christian, a shy person and a man of few words. Mikray shared himself to his close friends. During this last year, Mikray showed everyone including his family how to live. Not one complaint or self-pity did this man give. He looked for a better world and never gave up hope.

He is survived by his parents, Morla and Mike; sister, Mallori; grandparents, Morla Rice, Eldon (Velma) Rice, and Marilyn Moser; uncle and aunt Mark and Lisa Moser; cousins Haylin and Mikayla Moser; and close friends Garett Uhlorn, Jacob Mellick, Teno Murillo and Taylor McConnell.

A celebration of Mikray's life will be at 2 p.m. Sunday at Sweeney Track at Vollmer Bowl on Normal Hill in Lewiston.

Kelvin Ray Byers passed away peacefully on Saturday morning, Sept. 27, 2014, on the 56th anniversary of marriage with his surviving wife, Helen. He was 76 years old. They raised two children together in Lewiston, Larry Byers and Tammy McKeirnan.

Kelvin was born to Delbert and Emma (Perry) Byers on Sept. 26, 1938, in Avon, along with his twin brother, Melvin. They would later be joined by the birth of their sister, Judy Enger. The Byers family grew up in the Avon, Deary and Bovill area, and all the siblings went to Deary High School.

Kelvin worked at the Idaho Transportation Department for 36 years and retired when he turned 55. His favorite hobbies included boating, fishing, gardening, woodworking, traveling and spending time with his wife up at the cabin on the Freeman Creek area of Dworshak Lake.

Kelvin was a hard-working, honest and family loving man. He had a good sense of humor and was well liked by many who he came in contact with in his life. He is well known for his quick wit and boastful laughter. He especially adored his grandchildren, Matthew Byers and Danielle McKeirnan. He also enjoyed working on projects with his son-in-law, Danny McKeirnan.

Services will be held at 10 a.m. Monday at the Orchards Community Church, 822 Bryden Ave., Lewiston. Please sign the online guestbook at www.mtviewfuneralhome.com.

Frances I. Wilson, age 86, died peacefully with her family by her side Friday, Sept. 19, 2014, at Guardian Angel Homes in Lewiston.

Frances was born the daughter of Pink and Freda Greer on March 20, 1928, in Lewiston. She was the youngest of five children. Prior to graduating from Clarkston High School in 1946, she grew up on the Bobbitt Bench near Peck. In 1948, Frances married Gerald (Jerry) Wilson in Orofino. They started their married life in Peck, where daughter Marilyn was born in 1950 and son Gale was born in 1952. Jerry commuted to Orofino, where he worked for Stoddard Electric as an electrician. Soon after the birth of Gale, they moved to Orofino, where Jerry continued to work as an electrician while pursuing his love of flying on nights and weekends as a backcountry bush pilot. Flying was the love of Jerry's life, and Frances was there to provide support on the homefront. Always striving to be the perfect wife, and the perfect mother, she did everything from raising two children to providing lighting with the headlights of her car for Jerry's nighttime landings. She always prioritized the importance of family first. Her job was to take care of the family, and she did it well.

In June 1959, the family moved to Lewiston, when Jerry purchased interest in Hillcrest Aircraft Company.

Frances loved her home, with gardening and cooking being of great importance to her. Many have been the recipients of Frances' garden vegetables, homemade bread and pies. She loved to bake, and Jerry always enjoyed the bottomless chocolate chip cookie jar.

In an effort to keep the neighborhood up to her standards, she started purchasing houses as they came up for sale. This eventually led her into a full-time job managing several rental homes, with Frances doing all the upkeep for the houses and the yards, including mowing the lawns. Always energetic, always organized and always project-driven, Frances could accomplish more in any day than most anyone.

Frances and Jerry always had a love for Clearwater County, so in 1967 they purchased property on Eureka Ridge, where they enjoyed many happy times. The family still owns this property today.

Exercise was always a part of her day. She started going to aerobic classes when they first became popular in the 1980s, and continued until 2012.

Frances was baptized in the Orofino Seventh-day Adventist Church, and always maintained a love for that church. When she moved to Lewiston, she became a member of the Lewiston Seventh-day Adventist Church and was a dedicated and active member there for 56 years. Jerry and Frances enjoyed many summer Sunday afternoons playing golf at the Clarkston Golf and Country Club. Her golfing interest continued on to include many early morning golf games with the Tuesday morning 9 Holer Group.

Frances was preceded in death by her husband, Jerry, in 2000; brothers Burel and Raymond Greer; and sisters Vretta (Sis) French and Nadean McKelway.

Frances is survived by son Gale, with wife Cindy, of Lewiston; daughter Marilyn, with husband Phil Stonebraker, of Clarkston; and grandchildren Greg Stonebraker, with wife Tiffany, of Seattle, Jeff Stonebraker, with wife Sarah, of Seattle, WA, Keith White, with wife Chrissey, of Lewiston, and Charli Coldiron, with husband Luke, of Moscow.

"And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you." 1 Peter 5:10

On Monday, Sept. 8, 2014, Barbara Irene Opdahl, 75, passed from this world of physical challenges to her glorious eternal home.

Barbara was born in Albert Lea, MN on Nov. 25, 1938 to Marvin "Tim" and Irene (Reim) Ramsdell. She grew up in Alden and graduated from Alden High School in 1956. In 1957-58 she attended Hamilton School of Business. She married her childhood sweetheart, Harlan Opdahl, on Jan. 17, 1959. A vacation trip west with Harlan resulted in their move to Idaho in 1965.

Barbara worked at Pierce schools from 1966 to 1971, and then she went to work for the US Post Office from 1971 to 1988. Along the way, Barb, Harlan, Harlan's brother, Duane, and wife, Vi, partnered up to form Triple O Outfitters. Barb was chief cook and ultimate hostess for bear and elk hunters and Lewis Clark trail riders. Her sourdough pancakes, huckleberry desserts, and camp potatoes were legendary. Her enthusiasm for the outdoor life was contagious, as was her smile.

Barbara was an active community member. She served on the Pierce Library Board, was a 4-H Leader, a member of the Idaho Outfitters and Guides Association, Gem Community Board Member, Clearwater Basin Collaborative member, Potlatch Advisory Committee, and served on the Idaho Travel Council. Barbara was a founding member of Faith Lutheran Church and served in various capacities, including teacher and council member.

Barbara personified the spirit of hospitality. She loved to camp, hunt, snowmobile and embroider. She also loved to cook. Family and friends were always welcome at the Opdahl home, especially around meal time. The entire time her children attended school, each teacher enjoyed a pan of her cinnamon rolls at Christmas. They were so well loved that she continued the tradition for staff even after the youngest graduated. Barbara never missed an opportunity to make new friends. Her faith and devotion to God were the center of her life.

Barbara is survived by four children, Gwen and Bob Schryver of Farmington, NM, Jim and Linda Opdahl of Payette, Diane and Mike Snyder of Baker City, OR and Sharon and Darrin Hartwig of Lewiston; 13 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren; 1 sister and brother-in-law, Bonnie and Duane Mutschler of Stillwater, MN; brother-in-law, Richard Borge of Alden, MN; three sisters-in-law, Jean Ramsdell of Burnsville, MN, Violet Opdahl of Lewiston, and Gloria Peterson of Albert Lea, MN; and numerous much loved nieces and nephews. Rod McKuen once said that strangers are friends you haven't met yet. Barbara lived that philosophy every day. Her group of friends continued to grow until the day of her passing.

Barbara was preceded in death by her husband, Harlan; parents, Marvin "Tim" and Irene Ramsdell; a daughter, Katherine; brother, Marvin "Ed" Ramsdell; and sister, Betty Borge; two brothers-in-law, B. Duane Opdahl and Russell Peterson.

Bonnie Lynn Thomas Ogden was not only a mother and a wife, but also a friend. Most everyone who she met became a friend after a short period of time.

Bonnie was born Oct. 28, 1949, in Kirkland, WA. Her parents were Helen and William (Bill) Thomas. She was the youngest of four children.

She met her husband, Mike Gary Ogden, in the summer of 1968. They were married in September of that year. They enjoyed their new life together, and in 1973 their first child, Clint Ryan, was born. Daughter Christine Nicole soon followed in 1976. There were not many things that Bonnie was unable or unwilling to do, from taking the children to soccer practice, to helping them learn to swim. She felt if they could do it, she wanted to learn also, so she could share that experience with them. This included skiing, snowmobiling, riding dirt bikes, boating and of course enjoying the wonderful campfires that we all loved so much. She helped build the cabin in Cle Elum where she and Gary (Mike) lived for 10 years. There she cooked on a wood stove and used only propane lights as the light source. After moving from the cabin, she designed and helped build their current home in Cavendish.

Bonnie enjoyed sewing and quilting. She completed many quilts that were given as special gifts to family or friends. She also enjoyed helping others learn more about sewing and quilting. Gardening was one of the things she liked to do. Her flowers were always happy and she canned many jars of vegetables. Bonnie's homemade salsa was one of the best, along with her dilly beans, which everyone liked.

Bonnie is survived by her husband and her two children, Christine Lewis and Clint Ogden. She also has four grandchildren, Jarod, Erica and Jillian Ogden and Rory Lewis. She also is survived by her sister, Jeannie Howard; and brother, Larry Thomas. She was preceded in death by her mother and father, Bill and Helen Thomas; and also brother, Tom Thomas.

A celebration of life will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday at Southwick Bible Church and officiated by Pastor Charlie Olson. Donations can be made to the Southwick Bible Church or a church of your choice. A luncheon will follow.

Bonnie would like to give a big hug to all the ladies at Southwick Bible Church for the direction given her and the faith that was bestowed.

Carl passed away July 29, 2014, at Lewiston Care Facility Rehab Center following hip surgery. Carl resided at Brookside Senior Retirement Center, Orofino.

Carl was born the fourth child of five to Orba and Carl Day Sr. on Dec. 28, 1919, in Nora, NE. The family moved to Republic, KS, and then settled in Declo, Idaho, for Carl's school years. Carl grew up on a farm and was involved with farming/ranching most of his life. He also worked in the timber industry and as a dispatcher at Kimberly Clark Paper Co. in Anderson, CA, for many years. Carl lived in Lakeview, OR, Cottonwood, CA, Anderson, CA, Redding, CA, and Orofino. Carl treasured his friends, and had many in each location.

Carl married Mary Thompson in 1946, and they had two children, Diana and Denny. Carl was also the proud grandfather of Spencer Graham, Haily Graham, Cora Beld and Leota Day. Carl married the "love of his life," Dottie Meyer, in 1966, and they were married until she passed away. Carl also helped raise Dottie's two youngest sons, Auggie and Kenny Meyer.

Carl enjoyed fishing, hunting and camping. He also followed his favorite sports teams on TV. Carl played on athletic sports teams in school, and also when he worked at the mill. He was a great Little League coach and taught his children to ride a horse, sportsmanship, and never missed a school activity if either of his children were performing.

June Eileen Cook Judd, beloved mother, grandmother, teacher, and civic leader, passed away due to complications from a fractured hip on July 28, 2014 at North Idaho Hospice House, surrounded by her three children.

The oldest of five children raised on a farm during the Great Depression, June experienced economic hardships and learned to work hard and be frugal. She also learned the value of community service and caring for others. In addition to participating in civic activities she and her family were regularly inviting people in for a meal or asking someone who might be alone to join the family for holidays and special occasions.

June grew up determined to have a stable family life, provide a good home for her family, and stay close to her extended family. In addition to her devotion and love for her family she was committed to her faith and church, the State of Idaho, and the University of Idaho--alma mater to her and most of her family. She loved camping, picnics, picking huckleberries, drives in the mountains, games, dining out and any activities with her family. She sought continual learning and was an avid reader of five regional newspapers.

June was born March 2, 1926 at Lenore, Idaho to Boyd and Bina Cook. She advanced quickly through the local grammar school and at age 12 she moved to Lewiston to attend high school, where she worked as a nanny for her room and board. June was largely self-supported for the rest of her 88 years. She transferred to Lapwai High School for her senior year, graduating in 1942, and then attended Lewiston Normal School (now Lewis-Clark State College) for one year.

Due to WWII (World War II) teacher shortages she began teaching in 1943 at age 17 at the one- room Fraser School near Greer, Idaho where the teacher also had to make fires in the stove, haul water from the well, prepare a hot lunch dish, handle the janitorial duties, in addition to teaching grades 1-8. She boarded with local farmer and school board member Lawrence Judd and his wife Bell, where she became best friends with their daughter, Verla, and met her future husband, their son Harry. June remained close to the Judd family after transferring to teach at a school in the Lewiston Orchards in 1945. She and Harry started dating in the fall of 1948 and were married on June 14, 1949 (Flag Day so Harry would always remember his anniversary).

June and Harry made their home in Lenore, Idaho where June taught at the one- room school and drove school bus while Harry taught vocational education to veterans. In 1950 the family moved to Orofino, Idaho, where daughters Elaine and Maureen were born. The family moved to Moscow, Idaho and lived in "Vets Village" while Harry attended the University of Idaho on the GI Bill. After Harry's graduation the family moved to Asotin, WA for nine months where Harry taught vo-ag and chemistry at the high school. This nine months living less than a mile into Washington was June's only time living outside the State of Idaho. June and family moved to Sandpoint, Idaho in 1955 where Harry went to work for the University of Idaho Cooperative Extension Service (County Agent). June was a busy homemaker, plus was active in the Sandpoint Methodist Church and the Sandpoint community. Son Norman was born in 1958.

In 1959 Harry became the lead Extension Agent for Benewah County and the family moved to St. Maries, Idaho. June was the model housewife-tending the house, gardening, cooking great meals, canning/freezing, sewing not only her children's and her clothes but also drapes for the new house. She was active in the Community Presbyterian Church, serving as a Deacon and an Elder; led 4-H groups for her children and other youth in the community; and participated in several civic organizations.

June returned to teaching full time in the St. Maries Schools when Norman started school and taught there from 1969 to 1990. Putting together a mix of summer school, workshops, and short courses from the University of Idaho, she finished her four- year degree and graduated with a BS (Bachelor of Science) in Elementary Education in 1972. After Harry passed away in 1974, June continued her education in the summers and graduated with a Masters in Reading Education from the University of Idaho in 1982.

June retired from teaching in 1990 and that same year was elected to the Idaho House of Representatives, serving for 10 years to 2000. During that time changing district lines had her at times representing areas as far north as Hope and Priest River and as far south as Riggins, Idaho and generally from the Washington to the Montana borders. June's political alignment came out of her background with farmers, loggers, millworkers and miners when the Democratic Party represented their interests. She was a conservative "Reagan Democrat." June rose to the position of Assistant Minority Leader during her time in the Legislature. June was especially proud to sponsor and gather the legislation to fund Idaho's portion of the WWII memorial in Washington, DC honoring the veterans and service of her generation.

Following her time in the Legislature June remained active in politics and many civic organizations. Among the civic organizations are PEO, Hughes House Historical Society, Camera Club, Kiwanis and Chamber of Commerce. June lived in St. Maries for 53 years until she moved to Garden Plaza Retirement Center in Post Falls in October 2013.

June was preceded in death by her husband, Harry Lewis Judd; her father, Boyd Levi Cook; her mother, Bina Caroline Raby Cook Eberhardt; step fathers, Herman Eberhardt and Walter Eberhardt; her step mother, Ella Cook; brother, Lawrence Cook; sister, Evelyn Cook Calvert; and two grandchildren, Noelle Judd and Joshua Judd.

June is survived by her daughter, Elaine White Harris (Duane) of Spokane Valley, WA, grandson, Ryan White (Jenn) of Virginia and step grandchildren, Katie Harris of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho and Matt Harris of Boise, Idaho; daughter, Maureen Edwards Wagner Martin (Don) of Coeur d'Alene, grandson Shawn Edwards of Tacoma, WA, granddaughter, Brook Edwards (Eli Meyer) of Eugene, OR, great-grandson, Ari Edwards-Meyer and step grandchildren, Jamie Young (Will Young) and Aaron Martin; son, Norman Judd (Lynda) of Spokane, WA, and granddaughter, Christianna Judd. In addition she is survived by brothers, Joe Cook (Wanda) of Lewiston, Idaho and David Cook (Marcia) of Las Vegas, NV, brothers-in-law Golan Calvert of Lewiston, and Bill McKinnon of Weippe, ID, plus numerous nieces, nephews and their families.

The family wishes to thank the many people who helped June stay in her home for so long, including Phu and Ahn Cong, Dale and Robin Baerlocher, John and Ruby Flerchinger, George and Delores Collinge, homecare workers from North Idaho Partners in Care and many others in the St. Maries community. The family also thanks Hospice of North Idaho, the staff of Hospice House at Hummingbird Fields and the staff of Ivy Court for their care in June's final days and efforts to make her comfortable.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made to the Judd Family Memorial Scholarship Fund at the St. Maries branch of US Bank that will fund scholarships to the University of Idaho; the Fraser Community Center, care of Donna Brown, 2310 Cottonwood Road, Orofino, ID 83544, or Hospice of North Idaho, 9493 Government Way, Hayden, ID 83835.

There will be a viewing Thursday evening July 31 from 5-7 p.m. at Hodge Funeral Home, 138 South Eighth St., St. Maries.

Theresa (Terri) Bingham was born Nov. 18, 1952, to Charles and Mary Bingham in Pasadena, CA. She lived with her parents and two brothers in San Gabriel, CA, for 17 years, and attended Catholic elementary and high schools in Alhambra, CA. She was devoted to God and the Catholic Church, spending years as a Sunday school teacher and the head of the church library. Terri rests peacefully now in the hands of her Lord and Savior.

Her dream of attending the University of California at Los Angles was fulfilled in 1970, where she earned a bachelor's degree in sociology. While at UCLA, Terri met Robert (Bob) Grossklaus, and they were later married in 1974. Terri then attended Mount Saint Mary's College and graduated with a degree in nursing. From Los Angeles, they moved to Arizona to work for the Indian Health Service and the Papago Tribe. Hoping to buy a home and start a family, Bob and Terri moved to Lewiston, where Terri started working for the North Central Idaho Health Department as a school nurse for four years.

Terri wanted so much to be a mother that when she had the opportunity, she became a full-time mother to their three children, Carla, Kevin and Angela. She devoted her life to raising kids and being a supportive wife. Some of her favorite times were the family vacations they took every year.

On Thursday, July 3, 2014, as loved ones gathered around her hospital bed and gave her a tender farewell, Margaret E. (Maggie) Williams, 84, a longtime resident of Pierce, took her last earthly and belabored breath. We know in our broken hearts that she fought the good fight but as her respiratory health became further diminished, it was evident that she could hold on no longer.

Maggie was born on June 8, 1930, in Port Orchard, WA, the second of four children born to Alfred and Bertha Mae Cann. She grew up and attended school in Clarkston, WA, before the family moved to their Kendrick farm in 1943. In February of 1948, at the age of 17, she moved with friends to Pierce, where she met her first husband, Melvin Dahl. They were married at Cardiff's Spur in July of that year and lived at the Musselshell until moving into Pierce in 1954. They raised four daughters together there and throughout this time she was a homemaker, restaurant worker, bartender and business owner. Mel died in February of 1982.

In May of 1992, Maggie married the second great love of her life, Wally Williams, in Lewiston. She and Wally enjoyed their life in Pierce and loved supporting the community, the school, Timberline High School sports and watching baseball together, even though it was often on separate TVs! They moved to Lewiston in the fall of last year; however, Maggie was a Pierce girl to her core and her heart never left her cherished hometown.

A strong woman, she was dedicated to her family and friends. If she loved you, you knew it and she would defend you to the end. Maggie had many opinions that she often shared and a sweet side that was appreciated by anyone who knew her. She was Wally's biggest cheerleader in any endeavor he undertook, and they had a lot of fun together. They doted on their animals, Miss Kitty and their special little dog, Ali. She enjoyed "Wheel of Fortune" and "Jeopardy," and rarely missed a Mariners game on TV. She recently attended LCSC (Lewis-Clark State College) World Series games with Wally, even though it was somewhat of a struggle for her. A special memory was attending a Mariners game in Seattle and seeing their anniversary wish on the reader board at Safeco Field; and being the 2001 grand marshals of the Pierce 1860 Days parade. We are so happy that just days before her death she enjoyed another Cann/Osborn family reunion and was able to visit with family members from afar.

Maggie is survived by her husband, Wally; and daughters, Nancy and Lonnie Cowger of Pierce, Linda Smith and Randy McKinnon of Weippe, Debbi and Mike Duffy of Lenore, and Traci Tolle and Tony Kast of Clarkston. Her older brother, Don Cann, of College Place, WA, also survives her. Her grandchildren include Tami LaDoux of West Richland, WA, Kelly Cowger of Pierce, Brandi Smith, Sunny Haynes and Michael Tolle, all of Lewiston, Jakki Smith of Loon Lake, WA, and Kylee Tolle of Clarkston. Left behind are nine great-grandchildren, four great-great-grandchildren and many special nieces and nephews. Her bonus family includes five stepdaughters: Sheila Struck of Vancouver, WA, Rona Hall and Barb Robertson of Bonners Ferry, and Tiny Bowling and Verna Soyk of Lewiston, along with numerous stepgrandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, her sisters, Dorothy Rider and Alice Mehl, and her son-in-law, Jack Smith.

We invite all family and friends to join us as we celebrate the life of our feisty, resilient, beloved wife, mom and grandmother at 1 p.m. Saturday, July 19, at the Pierce Community Center. We will gather in her honor to pay tribute to this special lady with laughter, music and the sharing of memories. We are so happy she is no longer suffering and is now taking big, deep, easy breaths in heaven!

Gerald (Jerry) T. Blattler died peacefully Saturday, June 28, 2014, at St. Joseph Regional Medical Center in Lewiston. He endured a long illness. Jerry was 77.

Gerald was born Nov. 13, 1936, in Hartford, WI, to Norman and Evelyn Blattler. He had two younger brothers, Jack and Gene. The family moved to Lake Julia, WI, where Jerry enjoyed roaming the outdoors with his faithful dog, Butch.

He met Celeste Rose Stefonek through friends on July 7, 1956. They married Aug. 24, 1957, at St. Kunegunda's Catholic Church in Sugar Camp, WI. They lived in Rhinelander until 1963.

In hopes of living in a milder climate with a longer growing season and more abundant hunting and fishing, Jerry, Celeste and their two sons, Brad and Glen, moved across the country to Lewiston. Gerald continued employment in the paper industry at Potlatch Forests Inc. when it opened in 1963. Two children, Laura and Stuart, were born in Idaho. Jerry was an incredible wing-shot and enjoyed pheasant hunting near Lapwai. Gerald's love of nature expanded to ownership of his own 20-acre bird sanctuary near Southwick. He very much enjoyed his new life in Idaho.

In 1947, at age 11, Jerry pestered his mother for the book, "Birds of America." Its cost was an astounding $11.95. In the years since, he had absorbed every paragraph and photo. The book was in tatters. As a birthday surprise in 2013, his son Glen combed eBay and located a pristine copy to replace the well-read and well-loved book of his father's youth.

Jerry worked for the Lewiston School District, rising through the ranks to custodial supervisor and retiring in 1996 with 30 years of service. During his retirement, he and Celeste enjoyed many years at their cabin near Southwick.

Jer is survived by Celeste, his wife of 56 years; children, Brad (Debra) of Lewiston, Glen of Seattle, Laura (Darrel) Pallaske of Spokane and Stuart of Portland, OR; grandson Christopher Wilkins of Moscow; and brother, Jack (Karen) of Avondale, AZ.

Sherry (Mallory) Takala began her life adventure on May 26, 1938, in Logan, Utah. She grew up on a farm caring for animals, but discovered early her love for painting and art in all mediums. In adulthood, she moved to Nevada and worked as a showgirl, keno writer and pit boss while raising her two children and painting on the side whenever she could. Eventually she left Nevada to pursue her love of painting and the wilderness.

Being a gypsy at heart, she moved throughout all of the Western states. The job she was most proud of was that of a battered women's counselor at the YWCA. Finally she met the love of her life, Steve Takala. She followed him in his job and eventually up to Alaska, where they mined for gold in the Porcupine and also converted an old Navy landing craft into a very unique bed and breakfast/fishing tackle store/art gallery in Haines, AK, called "Noah's Art." Later, after returning to the lower 48 and Steve's death, she took to the road again in her motor home searching for yet new adventures. She landed for short visits in Lava Hot Springs, Orofino and Kamiah, making many friends and learning new skills such as ham radio operation, which came in handy while working with the Idaho search and rescue crews.

Once they returned to Lewiston, Gladys used her artistic and creative talents as she set about making a home for Bill and the six children who followed. A devoted and fun-loving mother, she taught all of her children to have empathy for others and to always look on the bright side. For Gladys, the glass was not just half full, it was overflowing. She frequently counted her blessings and appreciated the full and rewarding life she and Bill created together.

An outstanding cook, Gladys baked and decorated wedding cakes for family members, made delectable hors d'oeuvres, and pounded many a deer steak into a tender delight.

Rosalie Joy Oxford was born in Lewiston, Idaho on May 17, 1938, the first child of Ruth Prudence Jay and William Cermak. She passed away Feb. 20, 2014, surrounded by her children and grandchildren.

Rosalie grew up in Idaho, Pennsylvania and Washington. She attended Pittwood School on Eureka Ridge, Orofino Junior High and was graduated from Orofino High School in 1956. She was working in California when she met Neal Oxford, who was stationed at Coronado Naval Base near San Diego. They married in 1960 and raised a family together until his death in 1986. Many of those years were spent in residence in Orofino.

Rosalie had lived in or traveled to many locations in her life, including most of the states in the U.S., and into Canada and Mexico. A move to Illinois two decades ago brought her closer to family. However, she remained interested in news from Idaho, and was a regular reader of "Window on the Clearwater." She particularly enjoyed the "Orofino Trivia" challenge.

Rosalie drew strength and pride from her Mayflower heritage and her great-granduncle's efforts fighting for the North in the Civil War. A fond memory was when the Mayflower Society in Chicago sang her "Happy Birthday" at their annual luncheon the day she turned 70.

Well-known as a family story-teller, Rosalie loved language and incorporated a rich vocabulary into her daily life. She was passionate about learning new things and appreciated genealogy, history, psychology and fringe science. Rosalie was talented in the creative arts, including writing, painting, sculpture, and crochet. She was an inventive cook who loved nature and gardening.

Rosalie was preceded in death by her mother and father; husband, Neal; and younger brother, John. She leaves behind a sister Lynn, of Orofino; sons, Jefferson and Royce; daughters, Mariah, Lea-Rose, and Naidra, as well as 13 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren.

Rosalie was thoughtful and enjoyed acts of kindness toward others, including those she did not personally know. She relished making others laugh, and felt it a kindness to ease the burden for her caregivers through humor during her final days. As she was saying her last words - "I love you" - to her daughters, a new doctor came in the room. She made everyone laugh by announcing, "And I love you, too!"

In memorial, the family thanks you for doing something kind for someone else, for spreading the laughter and joy that are part of Rosalie's legacy. Condolences may be sent to: Oxford family, P.O. Box 1068, Galesburg, IL 61401.

Albert G. Carr, a powerful man of God, went to be with Jesus on April 11. He was 92 and resided in Cleveland, TN.

Albert was born on Dec. 7, 1921 at Upper Fords Creek near Orofino to Gordon and Ada Carr. The family resided at the Carr ranch.

His early childhood included working on the family farm, going to school on Upper Fords Creek, and often walking or riding horses to Orofino.

Albert met the love of his life, Clella Millage, at the county fair in Orofino. They were married on April 25, 1940 and were nearly inseparable for the next 74 years. The couple left the large ranch to begin their life together. After spending time at various locations discovering Washington and Idaho in what they affectionately called the "Chevy Hotel", the couple purchased a home in Pierce and had three daughters.

Albert worked hard to provide a comfortable living for his family. He held several positions in the logging industry in North Idaho, before starting his own business. He continued to farm and later managed the Carr ranch.

Albert lived a full life. He loved spending time with his family. This included camping, hunting, fishing, picking huckleberries, riding horses, and vacationing to Alaska, Canada and Mexico.

Throughout his life and even in retirement, Albert was truly exceptional. His bold character and direct style of communication, combined with his passion for teaching people about Christ allowed him to preach to anyone he met. Those who spent time with him, even for a short period of time, knew he genuinely cared for you. People would say "spending time with Albert makes you feel like you want to be a better person."

Albert was known by everyone to be patient, kind and filled with love, joy and patience. He was loved immensely by adults and children alike as he played and sang with little ones on his knee, shared stories filled with his laughter and could always be trusted at his word. He lived every day as the perfect example of a loving and devoted husband.

Kenneth Ray Wilson, Kendrick, passed away at home on Feb. 22, 2014. Ken was known by most as Kenny or Bushwhacker, was beloved by many and will be terribly missed.

Kenny was born May 16, 1951 along with his twin sister, Cathie Fay, to Lloyd and Louise Wilson in Clarkston, WA. He grew up on the Weippe Prairie and enjoyed all the simple joys of childhood with his siblings and friends. Kenny graduated with the last class at Weippe High School in 1969 making his mark as a Weippe Gorilla in football and basketball. He was always proud of the fact that they were state champions in both basketball and football in 1969.

He was the quarterback of the football team, and the spirited smirky grinning point guard for the basketball team. He spent summers of his youth working in the hay fields for Bill and Mick Jackson, enjoying the delicious meals prepared for hay hands. Upon graduation, he attended Lewis Clark State College for one year, before returning to Weippe.

June 20, 1970, Kenny and Jeanne Snyder were married in Weippe. In 1972, their daughter, Nicole Marie, was born and the family moved to Lewiston. In 1975, Shane Michael joined the family, after the tragic death of Kenny's twin sister, Cathie and her husband, David Powell. He spent his work career as an equipment operator, working on the construction of the Lewiston Levee and at various dams.

In 1977, Kenny began is 37-year career with Steve Henderson Logging, first operating a line -machine and shifting to loader operator for most of those years. He had many fond memories and stories of the truck drivers that worked with him through the years. He took great pride in his work, and expected the same from his fellow workers, who saw his gruff exterior at times, but also his willingness to be a caring friend. He had many true friendships, including the friendships made through work.

Kenny was an avid hunter, enjoying hunting camp with his hunting buddies and his family. Favorite camps were at Fish Creek and Smith Ridge. Other hobbies were fishing (usually kokanee fishing at Dworshak Lake), four-wheeling with family and friends, hosting many Texas hold-em poker parties, cheering for Jeff Gordon on Nascar race days, riding and caring for his beloved horses. He was a life-long LA Dodgers fan.

His most cherished activities were attending his grandkids' sports activities, and he was a familiar face at games.

Due to work commitments Kenny missed a lot of his children's activities, and was happy to be able to attend the grandkids' games. Kenny and Jeanne worked closely together on their home and small acreage, and he felt blessed to has some special neighbors that all looked out for each other.

Kenny had his fourth ankle surgery in December and was two weeks from being able to walk again, pain free. Saturday morning while getting ready to attend and Idaho Vandal basketball game, he collapsed and our world changed in an instant. Kenny had retired, somewhat reluctantly, but was excited for camping and fishing, and spending quality family time. No words can explain the loss of this caring, loving man, gone in an instant.

He was preceded in death by his parents; twin sister, Cathie; and his father and mother-in-law, Dean and Irene Snyder.

He is survived by dozens of loved ones, friends and family, whose hearts are broken by his sudden passing. Survivors are his wife, Jeanne at home; daughter, Nicole Konen of Moscow; son, Shane Wilson and wife Tammy of Defiance, OH; Cade Konen of Moscow, and seven grandchildren. He is also survived by his sister, Linda and husband Len Spreiter of Juliaetta; brothers, Marvin Watts and wife Karen of Weippe and Wayne Wilson and wife Cindy of Meridian., brother-in-law, Mike Snyder and wife Brenda of Orofino and sister-in-law, Wilma Hartig and husband Gary of Lewiston; two aunts, Josephine Jorgensen and Debbie Kluss. He also had many dear nieces, nephews and cousins.

His brother, Wayne Wilson, says, "There are certain things a man can't take with him, and for Kenny, it is his legacy. Kenny was a faithful husband, father brother, son, grandfather and friend. And I challenge anyone to show me a man with a greater heart, and a greater work ethic than his."

Kenny's daughter, Nicole, says "Words cannot describe the love shared between my Dad and Mom. If there was ever an example of one person completing another, this was the case."

A memorial service is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 27, at 2 p.m. at Pine Hills Funeral Chapel in Orofino.

Memorials may be made to Shriners Hospital for Children, or the Clearwater Humane Society, if you wish to do so.

Robert John 'RJ' Eisele, 75, passed away Feb. 5, 2014. He was born April 23, 1938, in Madison, WI, to Don and Agnes Eisele. He was the third child of seven siblings.

His family moved to Lewiston in 1943. RJ attended grade school at St. Stanislaus Catholic School and Webster Elementary. A cute, smart girl in class named Lovetta caught his eye, and years later she would become his wife. They both graduated from Lewiston High School in 1957. RJ and Lovetta Rae Drevlow were married later that year on Sept. 21, 1957. They soon started their family, and over the next few years had four daughters; Margaret (Peggy), Lori, Karlene and Pam.

RJ began his career as a union electrician as an apprentice at John's Electric in 1957. He spent 10 years working on the construction of Dworshak Dam in Orofino, commuting back and forth each day during those years. He worked on many other projects throughout the years in Lewiston, Pullman and even North Dakota. He was a proud lifelong member of IBEW Union Local 73. He retired in 2000.

RJ was an avid sports fan. He faithfully attended the Lewis-Clark State College National Association Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) baseball tournament each year. He was a loyal Washington State University Cougar Football season ticket holder and even traveled to California to watch them play in the 1998 Rose Bowl.

RJ was a regular on the local auction circuit and could be counted on to always find something interesting to purchase for himself or some lucky recipient.

RJ was a devoted family man and most comfortable when surrounded by his family. Many good times were spent together during annual family vacations that included his daughters and their families. He finally received some male companionship with the arrival of his eight grandsons, in addition to his three beautiful granddaughters. RJ had a unique relationship with each of his grandchildren and enjoyed attending their sporting events and other activities.

RJ and Lovetta created an open and inviting home where everyone always felt welcome. They hosted many family events and holiday parties for family and friends. His grandchildren and their friends were also frequent visitors, and he always enjoyed their company.

RJ had a quick wit and always enjoyed a good debate, which usually included some trademark RJ saying that would go on to become common lingo for the family. He liked to portray a tough exterior, but once you got to know him, you discovered he had a passion for wanting to help people and generously shared his time and money with those in need. He was a lifelong member of St. Stanislaus Church and a generous supporter of St. Stanislaus School.

RJ always had a twinkle in his eyes and a mischievous grin. He truly enjoyed life.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Don and Agnes Eisele; and sisters, Mary Ellen Ellenwood and Suzanne Foster.

He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Lovetta Eisele; four daughters, and their spouses, Peggy and Dwight Hagihara of Pullman, WA, Lori and Mark Williams, Karlene and Rich Young, both of Lewiston and Pam Eisele and Tim Flippin of Tacoma, WA; and grandchildren, Phil, Scott and Allison Hagihara, Bo, Amy and Lane Williams, Tyler, Kayla and John Young, and Aaron and Nick Jones. He is also survived by brothers Jim Eisele of Spokane, WA; Bud (Marge) Eisele, Pat (Marcy) Eisele and Rick (Rita) Eisele; all of Lewiston. And was affectionately known as Uncle R to many nieces and nephews.

Services will be at 10:30 a.m. Feb. 17 at St. Stanislaus Church, 633 Fifth Ave. in Lewiston. The rosary will be recited at 10:30 a.m. and Mass will be celebrated at 11 a.m.

From lakes to rivers to mountains, Chuck lived a tremendous and adventurous life. Charles Andrew Linja, 78, passed away in Coeur d' Alene on Jan. 21, 2014. Born in copper country in Laurium, MI, to William (Eino) and Saima Linja on Feb. 8, 1935, he grew up speaking English and Finnish around Calumet in the UP of Michigan. He graduated from Doelle High School in Tapiola, MI, in 1954 and married the love of his life Jean Pohjola Oct. 5, 1957. He served our country in the Army in Germany. He spent time on ships on the Great Lakes and in deep underground copper mines. Four boys were soon born within five years in Laurium. Then making a major life decision, Chuck and Jean moved west with their very young four boys in tow, three still in diapers in 1964.

Stopping first in Butte, MT, Chuck moved the family throughout the northwest mining and dam building as he was a skilled diamond driller. Chuck was hard-working and eventually settled the family in Orofino in the 1970's while working on Dworshak Dam and finally added a cherished daughter to the gang in 1975. Thereafter and as opportunity arose, he worked on the Alaska pipeline while living in camps and on other major projects. After saving some money, he decided to shift gears and bought a restaurant (Topper) in Coeur d' Alene moving the family right along. As the kids grew, he and Jean eventually bought the Sunshine Inn bar, restaurant and motel in Kellogg in the Silver Valley in 1984. Chuck flourished as an entrepreneur and always provided a hand to a friend or anyone needing help. After operating the Sunshine Inn for over a couple decades, he retired in Coeur d' Alene and focused his life on family and grandkids who really supercharged him.

Chuck did a lot of things and made you smile, laugh and cry. He loved to sing silly songs, many in Finnish, play the harmonica and say outrageous things firing everyone up. When around, you always knew it. He certainly had a little bit of outlaw in him as his family can attest. Chuck was also an avid poet, writing hundreds of poems straight from the heart. He was a fervent hunter and had an amazing gun collection. Best times were always with family and friends on the river, at hunting camp, in the woods and up in the mountains. He loved his pets and his long-time friend Skye. Chuck was also a 'hugger', so if you knew him or met him, then you hugged him.

Chuck is survived by his wonderful wife of 56 years, Jean Linja of the family home of Coeur d' Alene; sons, Charles "Pat" (Jeanette) Linja of Pasco, WA, Greg (Teresa) Linja of Kellogg and Rod (Sue) Linja of Boise; daughter, Tiffany (Travis) Curtis of Coeur d'Alene; 12 grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren; his sister, Arlene Kela of Hancock, MI; several nieces and nephews and many, many relatives and friends whom he considered family. Chuck was preceded in death by his parents; his infant brother, Richard Linja; his son, Scott Linja; and his beloved dog, Skye.

Funeral Services were held in Kellogg with Rev. Art Fleming officiating. Interment was held at the Greenwood Cemetery of Kellogg next to Scott.

The family suggests that memorials may be made to the Shoshone Pet Rescue, P.O. Box 884, Kellogg, Idaho 83837.

CORVALLIS, MT - Frank A. Klement, 75, of Corvallis died unexpectedly at home on Feb. 2, 2014, after six months of failing health. He was 75 years of age.

He was born April 9, 1938 in Hearne, TX. He graduated from Hearne High School in 1956. He graduated from Texas A&M in 1960 with a degree in Civil Engineering. After college graduation, he began his career of over 32 years with the U. S. Forest Service, in the Engineering Department. During those years he worked on the Clearwater, Bitterroot, Lewis and Clark and Deer Lodge National Forests and Region 1 in Missoula. Shortly after beginning his Forest Service career in Orofino, his National Guard troop was called up for the Berlin Crisis.

He married Lois Mueller in Missoula, MT on Dec. 27, 1964. They would have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this year. In 1966, they moved from Orofino, where Brenda was born, to Hamilton, MT, where Karen was born. After being transferred to Missoula, they raised the girls in the Florence area for 19 years before moving to Butte, MT, where Frank retired in 1993. They then moved to their present retirement home in the Corvallis area in 1996.

Frank was one of those persons who could do almost anything. Woodworking, drawing house plans, doing electrical wiring projects, fixing all sorts of things around the house, making and repairing clocks, putting in a lawn irrigation system, planting trees - to mention a few. He was a quiet-type person with a "quick wit". He loved music - particularly western and gospel. He liked the bagpipes and knew a lot about classical music. The Statler Brothers were favorites for years. He thought the reruns of "Hee-Haw" and the "Gaither Hour" were the best TV programs on today.

He didn't like to fly (and that started in the days before September 11th). So, he and Lois would take long driving trips. He would use state roads and back roads and go through the towns, driving on Interstates very seldom. He drove every mile himself. He thought Ford trucks were the best. He liked guns and bird hunting; squirrel and deer hunting in the younger Texas years. He was very knowledgeable about World War II. Omar N. Bradley was his hero. He did not like plumbing projects. He did not like being asked his "level of pain" at a medical center. He was always proud to be a Texan, but never wanted to move back.

He leaves behind: wife, Lois; daughter, Brenda (Sam, Keiandra, Keimarya) of Canton, GA; daughter, Karen (Kristopher) of Billings, MT; brother, Louis Klement of Troy, TX; several nieces and nephews, and brother-in-law, Alan Mueller of Missoula. Two brothers preceded him in death.

Memorials may be sent to the Daly Hospital Intensive Care Unit Fund at 1200 Westwood Drive in Hamilton.

A memorial service celebrating Frank's life will be held Saturday Feb. 8 at 2 p.m. at the Corvallis Methodist Church, Eastside Highway and Cemetery Road, with Pastor Dusty Williams officiating.

He received a Good Conduct Medal, Victory Medal, American Theater Service Medal and Asiatic Pacific Service Medal.

On Nov. 10, 1956, Bob married Charlotte D. Widdows, who had four little girls ages 3-8. Bob's self-sacrificing, steady, dedicated, committed life proved to be the redeeming grace needed for Charlotte and her girls. His daughters have many fond memories of him that speak of his upright and unique character. Bob had a strong faith and was a dedicated member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. He served as elder for many years in the Mount Vernon, WA, and Orofino churches. He kept the churches and church schools warm by providing wood and keeping the fires going. He always had a large garden and loved to share the produce with all his family, friends and neighbors.

Bob worked at the Northern State Hospital in Sedro-Woolley from 1948-1973. He received his licensed practical nursing degree in 1959. He worked at the School for the Deaf in Vancouver, WA, from 1973-74. Then Bob and Charlotte moved to Cavendish, where he worked for his brother-in-law, Loren Stentzel, on his wheat farm from 1975-1977. They then moved to Orofino, where he worked in the Clearwater Valley Nursing Home until he retired in 1981.

Bob is survived by his four daughters and their husbands, Judith and Douglas Way of Tillamook, OR, Sherri and Dennis Walley of Federal Way, WA, Kathryn and Gary Anderson and Robin Surprise of Lewiston; 11 grandchildren; 22 great-grandchildren; and sister-in-law, Ruth Stentzel.
