The Star News Records Page Page Selma Jane Gassman Gearhardt On the bitter cold morning of Jan. 19, 2013 Selma Jane Gassman Gearhardt continued on her journey to meet her Savior Jesus Christ, her cousin Carrie Gifford, grandmothers Marie Gassman and Laurette Weller, and her puppy Norman. WhaA celebration of Selma's life will be held on Monday, Jan. 28, at noon at the McCall Community Congregational Church. Pastor Char Havlicak will officiate. A viewing will be held on Sunday, Jan. 27, between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. at Heikkila Funeral Chapel in McCall. Selma's life began in Provo, Utah, March 24, 1963. She moved with her parents, Joy Weller and Richard Gassman, to Seattle, Wash., in 1964. Her father Rich completed his doctorate of dentistry in 1968. During her early years with her parents Selma developed a life long love of learning. Selma would graduate with a doctorate of pharmacy degree from Idaho State University after completing her undergraduate work at the University of California in San Diego. Selma grew up in McCall. She loved her large McCall family with Shawn and Joy Miller. As the family grew, Selma grew with the same capacity to love and care for her brothers Jim (Valle), Jeremy, and Carl (Debbie) and sisters Laurie (Joel), Jalah, Leggette (Ray), and DaNita. In San Diego was her other family, Richard and Vi Gassman and sister Susie (Jason). At the time of her passing, Selma had 22 nieces and nephews. Each one made a significant difference to her. Selma graduated from McCall - Donnelly High School in 1981. During her high school years she was an outstanding student, athlete, and musician. She often said the happiest time of her life was working with Karla Miller and Cynthia Kimball at Lardo's. Selma's friendship with Dawn Everhart would continue through every intersection in life. Before graduating high school, Selma earned enough money to buy her first car. Selma enjoyed picking huckleberries, swimming in the Payette Lake, camping and searching for new hot springs. While in San Diego, Selma met the love of her life, Robert Gearhardt. They were married July 5, 1986. On July 4 of that same year, it snowed hard enough to prevent the annual McCall fireworks display. Therefore on July 5 at the conclusion of their wedding reception on the lake, the fireworks were displayed. Selma and Robert have three children, Sierra Dawn, Miles, and Grace. in 2011 the Gearhardt s first grandchild, James Liam, was bom. It's impossible to describe the love Selma felt for James. The Gearhardts made Boise their home for the past 12 years. The family is joined by their yellow labs, Abbey and Emma. Selma's career in pharmacy included hospital service, developing McCalrs Rite Aid pharmacy, and working for the State of Idaho over the Medicaid pharmacy program. She felt fortunate to have a pharmacy career that extended to different avenues of service. Selma will be remembered for her countless compassionate acts for her family and community. In November 2012 she made a bassinet for a young McCall mother whose baby had health difficulties. She never met the family but cried at the chill's death as if it were her own. When her grandmother Weller had stroke in 1989, Selma and Robert moved to Pocatello to take care of her until she passed in 1991. Selma would often say it gave her a greater chance to be close to her cousins, Paul, David, Merrill Pugmire, and Lynn Weller and their spouses. She tried to do the same as her Aunt Mary Carolyn Stoy and never forget a Christmas gift for everyone. Nicknamed "Mrs. Field's' because her cookies were phenomenal, Selma's cookies were the best! Her family remains grateful to Selma for the work she did to try to regain her physical and mental health. The love from her heart extended to everyone she met. She could not fathom how anyone could treat someone unkindly. She will continue to nurture us with the precious memories she left. Whatever is meaningful to you to express your grief will be meaningful to the family. A memorial gift In honor of Selma Gearhardt can be sent to the McCall Community Congregational Church, PO Box 762, McCall, ID 83638.

IM There will be a memorial celebration of his life at the church in Roseberry at 1 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 18, 2015. Please bring a dish or drink and a story to share. 41 Glenn was born Jan. 14, 1950 in Takoma Park, Md. He was a singular, one -of -a -kind individual whose main goal always was "to do right" He was a much loved husband, father and grandpa who never took his family for granted, but was thankful for them every day. He was a loyal friend. As a husband, Glenn was a true romantic. He never brought me a bouquet of flowers or a box of candy, but he'd pluck a wild flower to show and made sure I knew he loved me every day by a look or a touch or by his simple attentiveness to me. His kindness was unexcelled. We remained sweethearts and actively "in love" for 42 years. Glenn was a "news junkie; always looking behind the reported story for the `truth ". He felt the pain of those mistreated and suffering, his heart never becoming hardened. We met in the fall of 1973 at the employee "chow hall" at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. We were married a month later, on Oct 10, spent our wedding night hiking down the Bright Angel Trail by the light of the full moon and we honeymooned at the bottom of the Canyon. In 1975, our son Abe was born in Washington, D.C., and we soon after set up housekeeping on 20 acres in West Virginia, living in a 20 foot tip! that Glenn sewed on his mom's sewing machine. After a short return to Arizona, we continued on to McCall, just to see the beautiful mountains and many lakes that we'd seen pictures of. While Glenn trapped and hunted, the family lived in a sheepherder's tent on the South Fork. Going to the nearest town (Yellow Pine) for supplies was a 46 mile round -trip on foot. Back in McCall, Glenn worked as a cook, and he also worked for Brown and Son Construction. Glenn and 1 also did some video work. In 1983, we moved to Donnelly, at which time he became serious about playing the guitar. I learned to play the bass and after awhile we began to book gigs. When our son was about 15 he joined us onstage on keyboard. We were known at that time as Hurricane. He also gigged with the band Cross Country, playing the bass, as well as with other bands. He produced an album of our original music, "Soggy Cookies" as Sir Real and LaWeeze. Glenn was preceded in death by his parents Hollis and Sydney Gilbert, his sister Maureen Gilbert and his wonderful Grandma Pearl Gilbert; also by his great friends Steve Brown, Russell Watts, Jenoma Henry and Mike Smith. He'll be joining them and other friends lost along the way. He leaves behind his wife Louise, his son Abe (Jennifer) and his grandsons Jonus and Liam. Sleep my darling, and if the story is true, which I have the hope that it is, we will awaken together with glorified bodies in a world without pain and never again be parted.

Gleason Fred C. Gleason Jr, died peacefully at home on Jan. 10, 2013, after a gallant effort to recover from complications derived from Legionnaire's disease. Private services are planned for Fred in the spring, when his ashes will be buried next to ®; those of his late wife, Debbie, in Cascade. ±f� Fred was bom May 5, 1931, in Oakland, and spent his youth in Fresno, Calif. He later relocated to Southern Caldomia to start a construction company and raise his family. Fred brought his creative and stubborn, never - give -up, way of Ilfe to expand and grow his company to service commercial construction from Los Angeles to San Diego, Calif. In 1979, Fred and his wife Debbie retired to Cascade to grow a garden, start a business, and enjoy the beauty and activities of Valley County. Fred's passion was to find a mountain stream and fish from it, hopping rocks to find that perfect pool. He loved the area and enjoyed his life here. But Fred's strong drive, confidence and entrepreneurial spirit called out to him to do more to contribute to Valley County, and that's when he took on the resurrection of Cascade's Roxy Theatre, which had fallen to time and deterioration. He was a builder and a creator who derived great pleasure in bringing joy to all who would come to be entertained there for many years, Fred, with Debbie by his side, poured his heart into bringing this old dilapidated building back to life, and when that project was complete they wend on to develop McCall's Evergreen Theatre. They operated both until Debbie was diagnosed with cancer in 1989, at which time they sold both theatres and Fred devoted himself to Debbie's care and comfort. Debbie died in 1991. As the years passed, Fred found new partnership with Jackie Lee, of Cascade, and together they developed Cascade Vacation Rentals. He enjoyed working with his hands and found no task too difficult to solve in this growing business. He loved working with the visitors coming to Valley County to enjoy the same things he loved about d here. During his life with Jackie he also became a close guardian to Jackie's nine - year -old granddaughter, Jamie. He found himself helping her with her homework, enjoying school concerts, and watching this little girl grow. He was happy to be part of her life, and last summer he helped her start a greenhouse and taught her how to grow a garden. It's now with great sadness that we must all say goodbye to this most remarkable man, father, grandfather and partner and friend. We give thanks to all he gave and for our being part of his life. Fred was a private man who hated burdening anyone, including his family, and who found it difficult to reach out or express himself and his own needs, so many didn't know how much he struggled in recent years. Although sometimes detached, Fred never lost his concern for others, and loved his children and grandchildren more than they can ever know, and he was especially proud of their personal accomplishments. With a smile on his face, and eyes gleaming, he was always anxious to pass on news about their lives. Fred is survived by his three children, Mike, Dave and Lindell; his daughters -in -law, Lisa and Laurie; his son -in -law, Bob; his four grandchildren, Lauren, Mary, Adam and Spencer; his six great - grandsons, Austin, Brennan, Liam, Nolan, Jackson and Aaron; his brother, Timothy; his partner in love and friendship, Jackie; and his special friend Jamie.

Services were held at the LDS Church Northview chapel in Boise on Monday, Oct. 17, 2011, and interment followed at Cloverdale Cemetery. .i She was born April 8, 1918, in Deer River, Minn., the second of four children of ' Morton and Kate Seaman. They moved to Idaho when Annamary was two months t old to help found the logging camp at Cabarton near Cascade. C The box car at the logging camp where the family lived became the gathering place for the community to dance, play music and visit. Annamary learned from her mother and grandmother to play host to a house full of people, a talent that she enjoyed her entire life. The family moved to Cascade in 1922. She had a life filled with skiing, barn dances, and music. She was an artist and reporter for the school newspaper. During her senior year in high school she met a young man from Emmett, Adrian Godfrey, who was invited to the senior prom by her date. All it took was one waltz with Adrian to begin a lifetime romance. Annamary graduated as valedictorian of the Cascade High School class of 1936. During high school she worked summers in lookouts as a fire spotter. After graduation she worked in the Forest Service district office in Cascade. In 1938 Annamary moved to Emmett to work in the county land bank office. She and Adrian continued their romance and were married on Aug. 28, 1939. In 1940 they moved to Ogden, Utah. The first of five daughters, Judy, was born that summer. Adrian worked in a drug store and the family saved to start a toy business. They were joined by Adrian's brothers and Annamary and her four sisters -in -law bonded for life. The family expanded with a second daughter, Gerri, in 1942. Adrian was drafted to fight in World War II shortly after and Annamary and the girls moved to Cascade to live with her family while Adrian served in Europe. While there, Annamary worked at the department store and her grandmother stayed home to watch the girls. News about the war was hard to come by in Cascade. Newsreels before the Saturday matinee and weekly radiocasts from Chicago kept the family informed. Adrian returned safely in 1946 and they Another daughter, Katie, arrived in 1948 and they remodeled a small house in Boise's east end. Because of Annamary's love for hosting that house became the meeting place for many friends and extended family which had followed Adrian and Annamary to Boise. Annamary's pies and cinnamon rolls cooked on the wood stove were famous. Adrian went to work for Westcraft Woodworking and they made a new circle of friends. A monthly card club begun then lasted over 30 years. The Godfreys enjoyed dancing at the Elks and with a local dance club. Two more daughters, Margi and Elaine, were born. In 1959 the family moved to Denver for a new job. Annamary joined in many choral and theater productions and helped all of her daughters participate in music and dance. The family moved back to Boise and Annamary attended business school and she served in a calling as church librarian over the next two decades. Annamary volunteered for many charities and she and Adrian served at the Boise LDS Temple after it was built. Not surprising) , the family home again became the place to meet. The extended family now included many grandchildren and nieces and nephews. You could always count on being asked to stay and eat when you visited. In retirement Adrian and Annamary enjoyed the fruits of the many friendships and close family ties they had established. She finally got to fully enjoy her love of travel with trips to Europe, Hawaii, Mexico, Canada and many U.S. locations. She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Adrian; her parents and siblings, her oldest daughter, Judy Erickson Ihli; a granddaughter, Annette Ahrens; and a great - granddaughter, Tatum Sykes Quist. She is survived by four of her daughters, Gerri Kawczynski, Katie (and Gene) Watkins, Margi (and John) Farmer and Elaine (and Brett) Clegg; and 27 grandchildren, their spouses and numerous step - grandchildren, great grandchildren and nieces and nephews. The anchor and hospitality she provided to so many will be sorely missed.
