Geraldine Ann "Gerd" Schmitt Adkins
Twenty -two years to the day since the passing of her beloved mother, Gerri, age 74, died peacefully In
the arms of her three adoring daughters, on Dec. 23, 2016, at her daughter Pam's home after a very
brief battle with lung cancer.
Gem was born on Aug. 18, 1942 in Nampa and was the second of six children to Howard
and Cecilia Schmitt. She attended St Paul's Catholic School through the eighth grade, going
on to graduate from Nampa High School with the Class of 1960, remaining friends with many
of her classmates throughout her lifetime.
Gerri married Brent Nyborg on July 1, 1961, and to that union were born three daughters -
twins Pamela Marie and Tamera Ann, on May 17, 1962, followed by Camille Louise on Aug.
4, 1963. She lovingly called them Pami, Tami and Cami, and they became the light of her life
and reason for living which she proved on many occasions.
Unfortunately, when Camille was six months old Gerri got sick with ulcerative colitis and thus began
the struggle for her life. In 1964, becoming only the second person in the State of Idaho to have an
ileostomy, during that time, she received the last rights three times but fought to pull through.
Her medical history just went on from there and continued to be a battle throughout the rest of her life.
She was a walking miracle, and one of the strongest, bravest people you could ever meet'
Gerri worked several secretarial jobs, but one of her favorites was her executive secretary position at
Oppenheimer Companies, which she held for many years until she left Boise.
A beautiful seamstress, she sewed clothes to make extra money in her spare time. A craft which she
also used to keep her girls clothed.
Later, she traded in sewing for knitting. This was a craft that everyone in her family benefited from with
gorgeous sweaters and blankets. She was so proficient she could knit even when her eyes when:
closed!
In June 1973, with her parents' help, she had the opportunity to purchase a bar and cafe in Yellow
Pine and move to the mountains which she so grew to love.
The girls attended school there for one year, as part of the "Yellow Pine Nine." The following school
year, due to a lack of kids to open the school, Gerri faced one of the hardest decisions of her life, she
had to be separated from her girls when they moved to Kuna with their Dad and step -mom to attend
school.
On March 17, 1977, she married Jim Adkins and together they purchased Zena Creek Ranch. Upon
this union, three more daughters entered Mom's life - Jeanne, Juli and Laura. Gerd's cooking was
known far and wide, and anyone that stopped by couldn't leave there without being fed a meal or a
snack.
She loved to tend her yards and her gardens, when she wasn't helping Jim with his excavation
business. The two also spent a lot of time at their cabin in Stibnite - another place Gerri was very fond of
- while Jim was working for the mine.
In the last few years, Gerrfs health diminished and she had to leave her home at the ranch. Though
she missed her mountains, she enjoyed the time she got to spend with her girls, grandkids, and great -
grandkids.
From her great-grandchildren, she lovingly acquired the nickname "GiGi," loved spoiling them with
treats and cookies every time they came to visit.
Gerri is survived by her husband, Jim Adkins; daughters Pam (Bret) Judy, Tami (Kevin) Spangler and
Camille (Rick) Thomas; stepdaughters Jeanne (Tom) Lake, Juli (Tyson) McCoy and Laura (Chad)
Melanese; seven grandchildren, eight step-grandchildren; nine great grandchildren, five step great
grandchildren; and one step great -great grandson; sisters Virgie McGolden, Linda Mortensen, Sue
(Doyle) Collins and Vickie (Greg) Lovejoy; aunts Theresa Knox and Shirley Schmitt; numerous nieces
and nephews; one special friend since birth, Marilee Wood.
Gerri was preceded in death by her mother and father, her brother Joe Schmitt, brother -in -law Wally
McGokien, a great -grandbaby Brylee Nicole Fowler, and numerous aunts and uncles.
A memorial service will take place on Friday, Dec. 30, 2016, at 11 a.m. at the Nampa Funeral Home,
Yraguen Chapel. 415 12th Ave S, Nampa, ID 83651. An online guest book is available at

of jobs ranging from cowboying to driv-
ing for North American Van Lines to
working for the Simplot Potato Plant in
Caldwell. He enjoyed every job he had
and delighted in the comraderie each
brought. It saddened him immensely
when he had to retire due to ill health.
He compensated as much as possible,
however, by visiting Council's
coffee shops to drink coffee, smoke ciga-
rettes, and share stories.
He married Regina Biscoe on May 14,
1967, in Elko, Nev.. They were nothing
alike but managed to forge a bond which
lasted over 29 years.
Jim's surviving, out -of -state family in-
cludes two sons, Wayman and James;
three brothers and their families: Bob of
Bremen, Ga., Gene of Sacramento,
Calif., George of Phillip, S.D.; and three
sisters and their families: Lila Brust of
Heron Lake, Minn., Barbara Ann Sim-
mons of Rapid City, S.D., and Mary Ellen
Dinsmore of Kadoka, S.D..
His Idaho family includes his wife,
Regina, of Council; his mother -in -law,
Betty Biscoe of Boise and three sisters -
in -law and their families: Janice Keeton,
Terry & Teresa Zanders and Karen &
Doug Lyle. His nieces and nephews,
Keith & Kelly Zanders, Stephanie &
Crystal Marshall, and Ty Zanders were
an important part of his life. Special
mention has to be made of Zackery
Zanders whose little boy hugs always
made Jim smile.
There will be no formal funeral. In-
stead, the family will meet for a pot luck
.at a later date. Prayers will be led by
Pastor June Fothergill of Collister United
Methodist Church.
Arrangements are under the direction
of Summers Funeral Homes, Boise

Kathryn M. Albertson
Kathryn M. Albertson, wife of
the late Joe Albertson, died
peacefully at her Boise home
Tuesday morning at 2 a.m., April
generous, practical and capable
-- a helpmate who worked side by
side to help Joe Albertson
achieve his dreams.
She was born Kathryn
McCurry in Boise, Idaho, on
August 27, 1908. Her parents
were Neunan and Ida Mae
McCurry.
As a young girl, Kathryn attended
school in Boise. She enrolled in
the College of Idaho in Caldwell
in the late `20s, where she met
Joe Albertson, who would
become the love of her life for
more than 60 years. The couple
married New Years Day in 1930
in Boise.
According to friends and fami-
ly, Kathryn was vital to the suc-
cess of the grocery store chain
that bears their name. "She was
my father's rock. Always there for
him, very strong and very under-
standing," said daughter Barbara
Jean Newman. As the company
began to thrive, Joe and Kathryn
began to give to charitable
causes in communities where
they lived. They gave generously
to educational causes because
both Joe and Kathryn left school
during the Depression to take
jobs. Together, Joe and Kathryn
created the J.A. and Kathryn
Albertson Foundation in 1966 and
have, since then, given more than
$175 million to help open doors of
opportunity for Idaho's students.
wnen joe passed away in
1993, Kathryn continued her
involvement in the Foundation,
taking an active role on the Board
of Directors. She was instrumen-
tal in establishing the Founda-
tion's focus on helping to improve
education K -12 in Idaho. "Her
love of Idaho and her desire to
help children and organizations
within our state were the basis for
how we structured this Founda-
tion," said grandson Joseph B.
Scott. Albertson College, then
College of Idaho, recognized the
couple for their generosity, when,
in 1979, they bestowed honorary
degrees on Kathryn and Joe at
commencement ceremonies.
On August 31, 1998, the
board of the Albertson Corpora-
tion honored Kathryn by designat-
ing her Albertson's first Director
Emeritus, an honorary lifetime
position on that Board of
Directors.
In 1979, Joe Albertson
donated the land for a beautiful
nature park named in her honor.
He called it "a monument to the
relationship between Kay and me
and the people of Boise."
She is survived by daughter
Barbara Jean Newman, grand n
Jose h B. Scott and umerous
§—reat gran c i en.
"She was a generous, loving per-
son and will be sorely missed, not
only by our family and friends, but
by the community and the stu-
dents of Idaho," said grandson,
Joe Scott.
Funeral services will be held
at 2 p.m. Friday, May 3, in the
Jewett Auditorium on the Albert-
son College campus in Caldwell.
Friends may pay last respects
Thursday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at
Summers Funeral Homes, Boise
Chapel, 1205 West Bannock in
Boise. The family extends grateful
appreciation to Life's Doors Home
Care Solutions and Life's Doors
Hospice of Boise for their com-
passionate care during this time.
In lieu of flowers, the family has
asked that memorials be made in
Kathryn's name to the J.A. and
Kathryn Albertson Foundation.

Lora Wamplear Albright
Lora Wamplear Albright, formerly of McCall, died peacefully Saturday, June 29, 2013, after a
courageous battle with cancer.
A celebration was held in Boise at Lora's home on Saturday, July 7, 2013. Call (208) 830 -
` 3937 or (208) 31 50961 for more details.
She was born March 23, 1927 in Caldwell. She also lived in Oklahoma and Star while
` growing up in a family of seven.
r
She was marred to her lifetime sweetheart and soul mate Dick in 1950. They had two
children, Jan and Gary, and made Boise their home.
Lora was very involved in her kids activities as they attended South Boise schools. Dick and Lora had
wonderful friends and neighbors while living on Division Street.
In 1966, the family moved from Boise to McCall for Dick's work with Eddy's Bread. There she learned
to become a high- mountain gardener with a very short growing season. However, she still had folks
stopping at her house asking what kind of flowers she had.
She also mastered massive, annual yard sales with several other friends. She would go to other yard
sales shopping for future yard sale inventory.
Once Dick retired, they moved back to Boise where they lived until his and her death. As in years
before, her yard and flowers became her passion and focus.
She was eager to share starts with any who asked or showed interest. Again, her neighbors became
her very good friends.
On June 29, she demonstrated the circle of life for us. Her eighth great- grandchild, Sophia Lynn was
bom 1 -1/2 hours before she died. It comforts the family to know that she is dancing with her best guy
Dick at the Miramar Ballroom in the sky.
Lora was preceded in death by her husband, Dick, and her brother, Lewis.
She is survived by her sisters Myma and Glenda, brother Marvin, children Jan (Dave) and Gary
(Robyn), four grandchildren and eight great- grandchildren.
A special thank you to the Journey Hospice team, her niece Claudia and Ms. Noemi of Best Home
Care.
God's Garden
God looked around His garden
And found an empty place,
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face.
He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering
He knew that you were in pain.
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb.
So He closed your weary eyelids
And whispered, "Peace be Thine."
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.

Melvin Richard (Dick) Albright
Melvin Richard (Dick) Albright passed away peacefully at a local care center Aug. 12, 2012.
A Celebration of Life will be held Aug. 25, 2012, from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. at 11921 Goldenrod
Drive in Boise.
He was bom June 2, 1928 in Madison, Neb., to Ed and Evelyn Albright. They moved to
Boise when Dick was 10 years old. He attended various schools in the Boise area.
r
He joined the U.S. Navy and served for three years. Upon his return he married the love of his life,
Lora Wampler from Caldwell. They were married May 12, 1950 and had two children, Jan and Gary.
Dick worked for Eddy's Bakery as a driver salesman. During his time with Eddy's he and his family
transferred to McCall in 1966.
He was also employed at McCall- Donnelly High School for eight years, where his granddaughter,
Angie, a student, would give hugs on sight and leave notes for him.
McCall was home for him and Lora until 1992. Upon retirement they moved back to Boise, where he
and Lora purchased a newly built house.
Dick was quite the handyman, and felt the need to paint the house three times within the first five
years of ownership.
Same mentality with a late model Camry - the oil was changed more often than the car was driven.
Dick had a smile and personality that drew people to him.
He is survived by his wire of 62 years, Lora; daughter Jan (Dave) Kirk of McCall; son Gary (Robyn)
Albright of Boise, sister Doris Belliveau; four grandchildren and seven great - grandchildren.
The family wishes to thank Capitol Care Center and 4 Rivers Hospice for the love, care and
compassion during Dick's stay.
Memorial contributions maybe made in Dick's name to P.O. Box 2078, McCall, ID 83638 (Go Jan).

JOHN JOSEPH ALLEN Jr.
John Joseph Allen, Jr., 95, of
McCall, and formerly of Oakland,
Calif., died Tuesday, March 7, of natu-
ral causes.
A memorial service will be held at
3 p.m. Sunday, March 12, at the Com-
munity Congregational Church in
McCall.
John was born on Nov. 27,1899, in
Oakland, Calif., and lived there for 70
years. He was the eldest son of John
Allen, a judge and lawyer, and Cathryn
Owen Allen.
He spent his childhood in Oakland
and nearby Redwood Canyon. He re-
ceived A.B. (1920) and J.D. (1922)
degrees from the University of Cali-
fornia where he was a loyal member
of the Theta Chi fraternity. In 1922 he
was admitted to the bar in California
and began practicing law in his father's
office in Oakland. He continued with
the practice until his retirement in
1969.
John's life was marked by a distin-
guished career of military and public
service beginning in 1918, when he
served as an apprentice seaman in
World Warl. In 1923 John was elected
as a director of the Oakland Board of
Education and served for 20 years.
During World War II he served as
a lieutenant commander, spending 20
months on islands in the south Pa-
cific, an experience he considered to
be one of the most meaningful in his
life.
In 1946 he was elected to the House
of Representatives in Washington,
D.C., representing the 7th district
which included much of Oakland. He
served in this office for 12 years. In
1958 he was appointed by President
Eisenhower to the office of
Undersecretary of Commerce for
Transportation and served for two
years.
While in congress, he was a found-
ing member of the Chowder and
Marching Club, a group of Republi-
can congressman that included Presi-
dents Gerald Ford and Richard Nixon
and Idaho Sen. James McClure.
During � `� �;n n
g . y . aklartd, John
was an active member of the Oakland
Kiwanis Club, the Yerba Buena
Lodge, the Scottish'Rite and the Na-
tive Sons of the Golden West. He
served on the vestry and as senior
warden for St. Paul's Episcopal
Church from 1962 to 1969. He was
especially active in the building of a
22 -story retirement home, St Paul's
Towers, considered a model facility
in its time.
In 1969, John retired from his law
practice and moved with his family to
McCall, Idaho. Beginning in 1973, he
served on both city and county zoning
commissions and was instrumental in
writing the first comprehensive plan
for the area.
In 1988, John was elected mayor
of McCall for a four -year term. Dur-
ing his term as mayor he continued to
guide the city during rapid develop-
ment, always hoping that McCall
could grow and prosper without de-
grading the beauty of Payette Lake.
He counted among his major suc-
cesses the establishment of Legacy
Park, a stretch of lakefront that is
preserved for the enjoyment of all of
McCall's residents and visitors.
During his life in McCall, John
was active in the Masonic Lodge, the
High Country Shrine, and the Rotary
Club which honored him as a Paul
Harris Fellow. He also served on the
vestry and as senior warden of St.
Andrew's Episcopal Church.
John loved people. He will be re-
membered for the warmth and friend-
ship he extended to all he met.
Throughout his life he volunteered
his talents to better the lives of his
fellow community members.
His second love was transporta-
tion, especially ships and trains. His
work as a lawyer, congressman,
undersecretary and mayor all allowed
him to improve the ways in which
goods and people could move around
the globe and around the corner.
John's first wife, Carol Cook,
whom he married in 1922, died in
1957. John is survived by his second
wife, Sally Clement; his brother, Don
Allen; his sister, Jackie Walpole; his
five daughters, Ramona McIntyre,
Suzanne Harvey, Cathryn Clement
Manduca, Sally Ann Ness, Verna
Lucile Vanis, and their families.

MADELINE JANE
SINCLAIR- ANDERSEN
. Madeline Jane Sinclair-An-
dersen died Thursday, Dec. 6 in
McCall from brain cancer. She
was 63.
A celebration of her life will be
held at 10 a.m. on Thursday, Dec.
13, at St. John's Cathedral. All are
invited to join in merriment.
Cremation is under the di-
rection of the Heikkila Funeral
Chapel, McCall.
Jane was
born Feb. 24,
1944 in Seattle,.
Wash., to Jack
and Madeline
Sinclair. Her
family moved
to Boise at the
age of `four.
Her bold spirit brought her to
California to pursue adventures
near the ocean while playing
with toys at Toyco, and taking
frequent trips to Mexico to get
her hair done in the fashionable
"bee- hive" style.
Living a stint in Eugene,
she met her lifetime friends
Jean and Vada. Together they
shared numerous adventures of
discovery.
Jane returned to Boise in the
early 1970s. She spent over 32 ex-
traordinary years serving all who
walked through her check -stand
at M &W and Albertson'sMarkets.
It is guaranteed if you set foot in
her line she would make you smile
and walk out the door floating a
little lighter.
Her efforts did not end when
she left work. Jane was always
willing to lend a hand, run an
errand, or just stop in to help. All
the while, she expected nothing
in return. Everyone who met
Jane was affected by her beauti-
ful spirit
Jane was swept off her feet
four years ago by Rudy Andersen.
The two shared many joys of life
together. They loved traveling,
dining and having a great time.
Jane is survived by her won-
derful husband, Rudy; her son
Kirby and wife, Vicky; her son
Scott; her son Gordon and Wife,
Melissa; her daughter Thaona;
her daughter Jill and husband,
Ryan; a brother John and wife
Roz, nine grandchildren and
uncountable friends that became
family including Linda, Cathy
and Julie.
She is now finished cleaning,
andis singing and dancing above
us with Jack and Madeline, Aunt
Ruth and Uncle Henry.
She will continue inspiring
all of us to give a little more than
we think we can, to appreciate
every interaction we have with
others, and to continue to smile
through the thick and thin life
hands us, because there's noth-
ing that a coat of paint can't
change.

Anderson
Evelyn Senora Cooper Ander-
son, a longtime resident of
McCall, passed away at the age
of 92 on Nov. 2 in Caldwell.
She was born in Meadows
June 12, 1911,
to Harriet and
William Coo-
per. Raised
along the
banks of the
Little Salmon
River south of
Riggins, she
became a
skilled horse- '
woman and
knowledgeable in the ways of the
outdoors. She later recalled many
stories about her encounters with
the diverse characters who trav-
eled through the Pollock area
back when the region was still
largely untamed.
She attended grammar school
at Brushy Flat near Pinehurst and
later graduated from Boise High
School. In Boise, she became a
"beauty operator' after serving as
an apprentice in her sister
Frances' beauty shop.
She married Horace (Andy)
Anderson of Burley on Aug. 1,
1936. After their marriage, they
moved to Burley and then later to
Boise.
During World War II and the
years that followed, the family
resided in Stibnite, where she
operated a beauty salon and
helped her husband manage the
town's service station. While she
lived in Stibnite, she became
known for the flair with which she
drove the twisting mountain;
roads.
During this time, the couple'
also was raising the five wonder-
ful daughters who were their pri-
mary source of joy.
In 1957, the family moved to
McCall and into a house on Pay-
ette Lake next door to the original
Yacht Club, a house in which
they would raise children and
grandchildren for the next few
decades. Evelyn soon went to
work in the local Continental Tele-
phone office as a switchboard
operator, a job she enjoyed for
many years.
Among her tavonte activities
were huckleberry gathering and
fishing. In the latter part of her
life, she also loved to travel.
After she and Andy retired in
the late 1980s, they began
spending winters in Asotin,
Wash., where they appreciated
the milder weather. Evelyn contin-
ued to enjoy summers in McCall
and at her cabin in Yellow Pine.
In recent years, she and Andy
had been spending winters with
her daughter Kay Spotleson in
Las Vegas. More recently, the
couple had resided in Caldwell
with their daughter Harriet Cros-
by.
The matriarch of a large and
wonderful family, she will be
missed dearly by all of her loved
ones.

a brother, John Cooper, and sis-
ters Berniece Sager, Beatrice
Kincaid, Dorothy McAbee, and
Frances Aitchison.

beloved husband of 67 years; a

se; daughters Harriet Crosby of

Salt Lake City; Connie Boyd of
Seattle; and Kay Spotleson of

Helen Anderson
Cambridge
Helen Anderson, 87, of Cam-
bridge, passed away Sunday,
May 8, 1994, at her home follow-
ing a short illness.
Graveside services were held
Thursday, May 12, at Salubria
Cemetery, Cambridge. Arrange-
ments were under the direction of
Thomason Funeral Home,
Weiser.
Helen was born April 13, 1907,
near Victor, Idaho, in Teton Ba-
sin, a daughter of John Thomas
and Matilda Adeline Turner Fer-
guson, where they had a home-
stead. The family moved to the
Shoestring area near Gooding in
1910, where they ''broke ground''
as part of the irrigation project.
She and her three sisters Jessi-
ca, Dorothy and Grace completed
the family circle.
Helen attended the one -room
school in Shoestring and high
school in Gooding, riding the
school wagon. Further schooling
followed at Idaho Tech in Pocatel-
lo where she received her teach-
ing credentials. During her
schooling she taught summer
school in one -room schools near
Fairfield. The first was in 1926,
and Willow Creek School fol-
lowed in 1927.
Helen's first winter contract
was with the King Hill School; she
taught fourth and fifth grades for
four years. She attended the Col-
lege of Idaho, then began teach-
ing positions at Long Valley (Arl-
ing), Wendell, Corral and Good
(Tuttle).
Helen and Arthur Anderson
eloped to Nevada in March of
1938. After their marriage they
took over the homeplace for Hel-
en's parents near Gooding. In
1944, seeking to escape the wind
and irrigating chores, they moved
to the Highland area near Cam-
bridge. They raised their family,
enjoying the people and activities
of a close community.
Helen was a longtime member
of the Valley View Progressive
Club and the Valley View Sunday
school.
She returned to teaching in
1955 at the high school level,
teaching English and home eco-
nomics. Several years later, she
returned to elementary, teaching
fourth or fifth grade, retiring in
1971. In the midst of these years
of teaching, Helen received her
_:��a � o Slates n�ati
oachelor of arts degree after mul-
tiple summer classes and corre-
spondence courses.
She and Arthur built their home
in Cambridge, and here they en-
joyed their retirement and their
many "hobbies." Helen later
moved near her daughter's home
in Pine Creek. She was an active
member of the Cambridge Muse-
um Volunteers.
"Granny," as Helen was fondly -
known, doted on her grandchil-
dren and great - grandchildren.
She was multi - talented — played
the piano and violin, was an able
seamstress, loved to garden, was
proficient at sculpting and water-
color, enjoyed crocheting, wrote
funny poetry, was very artistic in
ceramics, and a competent car-
penter, building her last toy box
in 1989. Granny enjoyed being
outdoors — camping and rode to
the top of Cuddy Mountain on
horseback while in her seventies.
She had a great sense of humor
and enjoyed a good story.
Helen and Arthur endured the
loss of their son, Dennis, in 1964
due to a horse accident. Loneli-
ness came when Papa Art passed
away in 1979. An added sorrow
was the death of grandson Val in
1992. However, she was fondly
known as "a tough old bird,''
giving of herself continually to
her family.
She will be greatly missed and
fondly remembered by her
daughter, Sandra and son -in -law,
Norman Hansen of Cambridge;
her grandchildren, Doug and Ma-
lea Hansen of Cambridge, Jenny
Hansen of Moscow, Gordon and
Kay Garner of Cambridge, Eric
and Tamra Hansen of Salem, Va.;
great - grandchildren, Jeff and
Kristin Hansen, Greg and Nate
Hansen, Erin and Alex Garner;
sisters, Jessica Taylor of Cam-
bridge, Dorothy Drury of Spo-
kane, Wash., and Grace Brown
and her husband, Mackey of Spo-
kane, Wash.; sister -in -law, Mabel
Loche of Yakima, Wash.; and sev-
eral nieces and nephews.
The family suggests that me-
morials be made in her name to
the Dennis Anderson Memorial
Scholarship Fund; Cambridge
!Iuseum; the Cambridge Ambu-
.ance Fund; or to a favorite
charity.

WE KNEW
We knew it would be the last time
that we saw him fall asleep.
We did tuck him in tightly and
pray to the lord to keep his soul.
We knew it would be the last time
We would go out the door and leave him behind
We gave him a hug and a kiss and
Went back and gave him one more.
We knew it would be the last time
We would be there to share his day
We knew we would not have many more days
So we spent time with him
so the days did not just slip away
We knew there would not be another day
to say I love you' so we said
"I love you" every day and every night.
Each time we tried to get it just right.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone
You or old alike
Be we were lucky and got our last chance
to hold our loved one tight.
We did it, we took time from our busy days.
We took that extra time to give him
A smile, a hug, a kiss and maybe
we were able to grant him
what turned out to be one last wish.
Bless us all,
Love,
Andrea

the Idaho State Police, where
assignments included being the
personal driver for Gov. Chase
Clark during his term in office.
He married Evelyn Cooper
of Boise on Aug. 1, 1936, a mar-
riage that would last 67 years.
The couple were together until
her death in November of 2003.
Following their marriage, the
couple moved to Burley and then
later settled in Boise, where they
began raising a family.
During the World War II years,
the family moved with their three
daughters to the then - bustling
town of Stibnite, where he ran
the gasoline station and worked
inthe smelterfor Bradley Mining
Co. In Stibnite, Evelyn managed

to leave the area after mining
operations ceased.
The family relocated to McCall
in 1957, moving into a house on
Payette Lake next door to The
Yacht Club. It was a house they
kept for 30 years. Upon arriving
in McCall with their daughters,
Andy became a part -owner of

crew for years until his retire.

construction of many bridges
and road improvements in the far
reaches of the Payette National

At the time of his retirement,
he was believed to have been the
oldest active employee of the

ethic was renowned to all who
knew him.
For years, he owned the
Conoco service station on what
is now Lake Street in McCall,
just uphill from the family home,
and also owned a service station
in Homedale.
Upon retirement, he spent
winters at his house on the
Snake River in Asotin, Wash.,
and summers in McCall, and
could frequently be seen making
his way to a local restaurant for
morning coffee in both towns.
Andy enjoyed his family, gar-
dening, fishing and friends. He
was a lifetime member of the
Elks Lodge.
He was preceded in death

Richard Brooks Anderson
After a full and productive
life of adventure and accom-
plishments Richard Brooks
Andersondied at home on Oct.
18, 2010 at the age of 87.
Arrangements are under
the care of Wood River Cha-
pel of Hailey, and friends are
invited to leave condolences
and share memories at www
woodriverchapel. com.
This
strong, inde-
pendent,
industri-
ous retired
forester was
a voracious
reader well -
versed in
many subjects and a great
storyteller with a razor -sharp
mind. He lived a rich life,
refusing to let age or prostate
cancer slow him down.
Richard was born in De-
troit, Mich., on Oct. 18, 1923,
to Earle O. Anderson and
Helen W. Hill. When his fam-
ily moved to Long Beach,
Calif., 14- year -old Dick ran a
surfboard, umbrella and belly
board concession earning five
to 25 cents a day.
He graduated from Wood-
row Wilson High School in
1942, studied math, physics,
and engineering at Long
Beach City College and in
1943 entered the Air Force at
the age of 19.
Dick was a 15th Air Force
B -24 tail - gunner in Italy,
where he was credited with
over 50 missions targeting
refineries and marshaling
yards in southern Europe.
He parachuted to safety after
his plane was shot down in
northern Yugoslavia.
Tito's partisans rescued
him and his fellow airmen
and escorted them through
the Yugoslavian hills. Ten
days later the Air Force picked
them up in a meadow and took
them to the island of Capri
for R &R. He returned to tbP
,niVb1w IULure missions over
Austria, France, Italy, Bul-
garia, Yugoslavia, Romania
and Poland.
After his honorable dis-
charge, he attended the
University of Idaho earning
a BS degree in forest manage-
ment in 1949. He then logged
with his brother, Bob, for
two years in McCall and was
a smokejumper based out of
Missoula, Mont.
In 1953 he earned his
master's degree in forestry
and bought his well -loved
1946 Taylorcraft airplane,
which is still in great flying
condition.
From 1955 to 1965 Richard
was snow ranger at Alta, Utah,
where he met his wife, Mary,
after handing her the glove
she had dropped at the top of
the ski lift. They began their
life together skiing the pow-
der before the slopes opened
each day.
Dick spent many summers
building timber access roads
in Bridger -Teton National
Forest in Pinedale, Wyo., and
working as a timber sales ad-
ministrator in roadless areas.
From 1965 to 1980 Dick was a
forest ranger in Hailey, the
Sawtooth National Recreation
Area, Heise and Shelley.
He retired at the age of 65
and started afive -year project
of love -buildingfrom scratch
a 50,000 board -feet classic,
character - charged home in
Hailey. And he cultivated a
fruit tree orchard that thrived
under his care. For decades
his special indoor orange
tree bore fruit every year in
cold Idaho!
�y�� -3lJa
Dick loved attacking prob-
lems that took patience,
ingenuity, perseverance, te-
nacity and a creative mind.
Because of his calm, gener-
ous and kind spirit, young
people gravitated to his side
to work and learn valuable
life skills.
He loved the water, too.
Sailing the California coast
as a teen member of the Sea
Scouts, fishing the coasts of
Mexico, soaking in the ther-
mal pools of the West, and
swimming in his in -home lap
pool. During his final days his
close friends rigged a seat to
pulley him from his chair to
his tub for a daily soak.
Dick lived a busy, vigor-
ous life, always seeking new
challenges and ever curious,
yet he remained pragmatic,
peaceful, happy and unas-
suming. His death leaves
a void not easily filled, but
his unparalleled zest for life
inspires us.
He leaves behind two de-
voted daughters, Polly of
Portland, Ore., and Sue (Bar-
ry) of McCall.
We, his family and friends,
cherish the moments we had
with him, and hope that you
will plant a tree in honor of
this passionate forester.

weekly sate ads
The fun included outdoor activities where Tim excelled and was considered a master. He was an
amazing father. He loved his children dearly, was a trusted advisor and compassionately dispensed
guidance.
Tim considered Todd's wife Kathy as one of his own. He adored all of the women in his life. With the
birth of his first grandchild, he came to be known as Papa.
Papa looked forward to each and every chance to spend time with the grandkids. He spoiled all of
them every chance he got, teaching them his passions of skiing and golf.
His grandchildren may have enjoyed the French fries, burgers and ice cream the most. He routinely
instigated water fights and rarely came out on the winning end. He was at his best as Papa.
Tim was a friend to many. He had deep and meaningful relationships with his friends. He genuinely
cared about his customers and staff over the course of his banking career. His infectious smile and
twinkling blue eyes will not be forgotten.
He had a saying for everything that could happen and a laugh that warmed the room. He lived life to
the fullest, but has moved on to a better place. He will be missed but not forgotten.
Tim was preceded in death by his parents Tekla and Blair, and brother John. He is survived by his wife
Trish, daughter Tina, son Todd, daughter -in -law Kathy, brother Bert and wife Pat, grandchildren Blair,
Allie, Jake and Jason along with numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. He loved spending time with
his niece Molly and her husband Michael.
The family would like to thank all of the care providers who worked with him over the past several
years. We gained precious and valuable time with him because of your efforts. Kristen Jensen was so
generous in helping to organize trips to OHSU in Portland.
We would also like to thank the staff at St. Luke's who helped to provide him comfort and compassion
in the last hours of his earthly life.

Theodore Gift Ax
Theodore Gift Ax, 96, died
October 27, 2003 at a Caldwell
care center. He was born Feb.
20,1 907 at
home near
Donnelly,
Idaho to Finn-
ish settlers
Suriel and Vera
(Kingelin) Ax,
the sixth of
seven children.
Besides help-
ing on the
farm, the broth-
ers trapped wild animals to sell
their fur. At about the age of thir-
teen he began hewing ties for the
railroad being built in Long Valley
to connect Emmett with McCall.
He attended Roseberry school
and in the spring when the water
was high crossed Boulder creek
on top of fence posts to get there.
Ted had a keen sense of humor.
He remembered the first train
reaching Donnelley and the wel-
coming celebration. There were
no facilities there for turning an
engine around, but, letting loose
a cloud of steam, the engineer
yelled "Watch out I'm going to
turn this thing around!" People,
taken by surprise, ran in all direc-
tions.
Ted was a logger and carpen-
ter. He learned the Finnish style
of building log houses, which fits
them very tightly together. He
built several houses and the origi-
nal Notus Co -op service station
out of logs. He helped build sev-
eral log lookouts for the Forest
Service and was a crew boss for
the Civilian Conservation Corps
during the depression. Ted
entered some lumberjack con-
tests in Garden Valley and Idaho
City. With his brother Harold,
also in his seventies at the time,
they out performed much younger
people in the two -man crosscut
saw division.
He met Merle Fetters who had
a summer job at the Donnelly
Post Office. They married in
1929 and became parents to
three children. They milked cows
on a small acreage between Mid-
dleton and Star, and ran Pop's
Gafe in Emmett for a while. They
lived in Portland during part of
WWII
Association.
He was also a kind, and gen-
erous spirit. As a young business-
man, Mike donated his entire
force of sales staff to acquiring
donated items for the Boy Scout
auctions several years in a row,
acquiring many items for the
fundraiser. Showing his spirit of
generosity once again, after the
9/11 attacks, he made monetary
contributions to the American Red
Cross, and gave them free
advertising.
Mike was never one to do
things half - heartedly; it was
always all or nothing. His charis-
matic personality would get
everyone around him involved in
his activities too. He would jump
in with both feet and pull every- I
one else in with him. Whether it
was scuba diving or ballroom
dancing or hunting he would
always make the mood light and
happy for everyone.

Shannon has been there
for him through the good times j
and the bad. She was there tak-
ing care of him while Mike was
sick. Shannon was Michael's light
through till the end.
Mike is survived by his wife
Shannon of Star, children Bevin
Justice of Boise and her son
Aiden Warner and her baby who
is soon to arrive: Michael Arthur
Justice, daughter Kaitlin Justice
of Boise, Samson Justice of
Boise and Orion Justice of Mis-

ory of Michael D. Justice will be

Love,
We lived the fairy-tale, Sweetie.
I thank God everyday for placing
you in my life. We were truly
blessed with a pure and beautiful
love that few experience. Michael,
you are the best thing that ever
happened to me, my husband,
my forever love. I will cherish our
7 months and hold you close and
warm within me and fully in my
heart until we meet again at
Heaven's Gate. I miss you -
Babe. All my love, Your Wife,
