Korea, Mexico, Philippines, and
Central America, helping busi-
nesses, orphanages, libraries,
and art galleries to develop. Alice
worked side -by -side with her hus-

a gourmet cook and ease in
entertaining friends and family will
be remembered by us all.

Ladies Golf Association, enjoyed
working in her yard and with her
flowers. She was an excellent
bridge player and enjoyed being

To our mom:
This is a story about a
mother who has the biggest
heart in all the world. This is
a story about a mother who
loves without condition and
never gives up hope.
A mother who offers all she
can give and expects nothing
in return. Amother whoworks
so hard and does so much. A
mother who never gives up no
matter how big the struggle.
A mother whose laughter
can cheer up the world and
whose smile can brighten a
room. A mother who can mend
a broken heart and chase the
clouds away.
This is a story about a
mother who is loved more
than words can express and
appreciated each and every
day by the people lucky enough
to know her. A mother who is
a role model, an adviser, and
a friend.
This is a story about you,
Mother... the woman that does
it allfrom the people who think
the world of you.
We'll love and miss you
forever.

Hannah VAIllard
Hannah Willard, 97, passed away on August 25 at her home in Bandon, Ore. She was bom March 2,
1919, to Ralph Hinshaw and Margarette Burnside Hinshaw. Her parents were homesteaders proving up
a farm in the Quaker community of Greenleaf.
LWhen Ralph died of flu in 1920, Margarette took Hannah and her older brother Robert back
to her hometown of Oskaloosa, Iowa, where they were Hared and schooled.
Hannah earned a B.A. from Monmouth College, Illinois, and an M.A. in English from the
University of Idaho. She eventually taught at every level from kindergarten in a one -room
choolhouse, to college.
She later worked at the McCall Public Library and wrote a Lake Fork news column for The Star -News.
In 1946 Hannah met and married Bill Willard of Nampa. They had one son, Mark.
On moving to the McCall area, Bill and Hannah first lived in the Elo teacherage, then bought an 80-
acre farm where they spent 33 happy years and where Bill was appointed the first U.S. rural mail carrier
for the district. The family enjoyed several trips abroad, to Canada, Australia, and England.
Hannah enjoyed gardening, reading, birds, picking huckleberries, and their Finnish log sauna, which
they heated most Saturdays and shared with friends.
Illnesses caused Bill and Hannah's move to a milder climate in Bandon, Ore., in 1985. Bill died of
Parkinson's Disease at the end of 1999, and Hannah bravely lived another 17 years without him.
Hannah is survived by her son, Mark, and by several good friends, but was preceded in death by
nearly all close relatives. She requested no service and cremation.

Eileen (Leonard) Wilkie
Eileen (Leonard) Wilkie, 89,
died Tuesday, Dec. 24, 2002, of
natural causes at her home in
Payette.
Born Aug. 21, 1913, to
Eugene and Georgia Leonard,
Eileen grew up in Pocatello, and
graduated cum laude from the
College of Idaho in 1935. Her
mother was a gentle, alert, intelli-
gent woman and her father was
active in the beginnings of the
pharmacy school at Idaho State
College where he was Dean of
Pharmacy from the school's
inception until his retirement.
Their knowledge and wide inter-
ests gave her a valuable basis of
the many interests, skills, and
activities which she shared with
her husband and children. While
in college she played violin in
many performances with the
orchestra, majored in French, and
earned her teaching certificate.
She taught high school for four
years in Firth, where she met,
and married Prescott E. Wilkie on
June 11, 1939.
The couple moved to New
Mead "wit' h t7ier first child, in
th EEsprin_g oi_ -19TI. -She was a
devoted wife and`mother, carrying
her full share of the workload of
running a dairy, distributing milk,
and providing meals for summer
farm hands. When her youngest
child started school, she returned
to teaching off and on during the
last seven of 18 years spent in
New Meadows. While there she
was able to continue to play violin
in some area orchestra perfor-
mances, helping to keep alive
some of her best memories, the
active performance of music she
loved. In the fall of 1958 she and
Prescott settled in Payette where,
once again, she taught school,
providing the extra money
needed for a college education
for her children.
51atc s)-haI't
During her teacrnng time in
New Meadows and Payette she
was much respected and appreci-
ated by her students, known as a
teacher who was fair, and who
could bring understanding to the
subjects she taught, which
included English, Home Ec., P.E.,
and mostly algebra, geometry,
and general math. She was
active in the Methodist Church
singing in the church choir and,
with Prescott, in a few perfor-
mances of "The Messiah." Also
during those years Eileen and her
husband were privileged to enjoy
some travel experience, to
Europe, Japan, Hawaii, Hong
Kong, and New England, and
managed to take in a few operas
in Portland, where their oldest
daughter lived.
Always holding a soft spot for
infants and children, she enjoyed
the occasional company of five
grandchildren. She is and will be
fondly remembered by her three
children, as a loving, caring
mother who was always there for
them, and often took time from
the many demands of her daily
work, to give them special atten-
tion. Her husband will sorely miss
the solid, loving, and loyal wife
she was through their over 63
years of marriage.
Eileen is survived by her hus-
band, Prescott Wilkie; and her
three children, Karen Fenton of
Ridgefield, Wash., Gene Wilkie of
Honolulu, Hawaii, and Louise
Painter of Midvale, Idaho; plus
five grandchildren and four
great - grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held
at 10:30 a.m. Monday, Dec. 30,
at Haren -Wood Funeral Chapel,
Payette. Private burial will be at
Rosedale Memorial Gardens.

BILL WILLARD
Born June 3, 1926, Fruitland, Idaho
We "summon up remembrance of things past. " Died December 20, 1999, Bandon, Oregon

Arthur Bollar, presiding
At Heikkila Funeral Chapel
McCall, Idaho
William J. Willard
Bandon
June 3, 1926 — Dec. 20, 1999
William J. "Bill" Willard, of Ban-
don, died Dec. 20 of complications
from Parkinson's disease.
Born June 3, 1926, in Fruitland,
Idaho, he was the son of Viola
Bingaman and William Clarence
Willard.
At age 17, during World War II,
he enlisted in the U.S. Marine
Corps and served two and a half
years, including time overseas. On
return, he used the GI Bill to com-
plete four years at the College of
Idaho.
He and Hannah Hinshaw of
Greenleaf, Idaho, were married in
1946 and had celebrated their 53rd
anniversary.
Mr. Willard taught for four years
in the last rural schools in the Mc-
Call— Donnelly, Idaho, area.
He then was appointed as carrier
for the first U.S. rural mail route
from the McCall post office. He re-
tired after 30 years and moved to
the milder climate of Bandon.
He was a maker and builder with
inventive projects always in
progress.
'Life for those around him was
brightened and enhanced by his
ready wit and humor,
In addition to his wife, the family
includes a son, Mark Willard; two
sisters; and nieces and nephews.
I . -B �, i I W( I6-c!) to
Fruitland, Idaho was Bill's birthplace. His parents, Viola
Bingaman and William Clarence Willard, were from Kansas and
Missouri and were members of the Brethren Church at New Plymouth.
There were and are two older sisters.
A move to Nampa came soon, and the growing up years were
spent there. Those were depression years. The father left home,
and the mother became wage earner. With his sisters in school
Bill was home alone at times as a pre - schooler, inventing games
to amuse himself. In later years he biked his mother to cleaning
jobs. She rode on the handlebars. Those were days of spuds and
lettuce culled from produce shed discards and lining up for food
stamps.
At 17 Bill left Nampa High to enlist in the U.S. Marine
Corps in World War II. He talked of lining up with many others
to be seasick on the troop ship to Hawaii. They went on to Iwo
t,,
Jima and mop -up operations there. there he sculpted the
Buddha -type hear always called "Iwo
".
Bill was, in unmilitary terms, a "gofer" for a colonel who seemed
to have come straight out of a military cartoon. Bill served
2 1/2 years.
On the train in June of '46 as he returned after discharge
from the Corps, Bill met Hannah Hinshaw going home to Greenleaf
from a teaching position in Illinois. That meeting resulted in
further meetings and a 50- years -plus marriage. A son Mark
completed the small and very close family circle. Because Bill
grew up without a father in the home, he was a "concerned parent"
in every way from doing coloring books and clay modeling together
to, later, driving instructions that occasionally strained the
closeness. Bill was a Cub Scout secretary, a three -term school
board member, the driver for our own VW bus that took M -D
wrestlers to state tournament at Rexburg -- all of those and so
much more as Mark's father.
(Oa
Bill had finished his senior year in high school on return
and used the G.I. Bill to earn a B.A. at the then College of
Idaho in 1953. Prized camping vacations in the McCall area led
him to sign as a teacher at Elo Country School. Home was the Elo
Teacherage beside the school house. There was limited
electricitiy -- no two large appliances on at once. The toilets
were outside -- but if you were counting blessings, eight people
could be seated at once. A well and hand pump furnished water.
Before that Christmas, Bill-/as needed to teach shop in
Donnelly and in the next years taught at Woodgrove, Roseberry and
Lardo. Since all the small schools in which he taught were soon
assimilated with the town schools, it was a family joke that
after Bill taught there, a school would be closed.
The purchase of 80 acres on the Farm -to- Market Road, from
Tom & Roy Shaw, brought the beginning of fulfillment of a dream
to build a log home. A fire that left ashes only of the original
house on the property hastened the work. The Rigenhagen mill
furnished the logs. Bill refused to use machinery in excavating
the basement, because he said he knew exactly how he wanted the
digging done. He then, over the years, studied and learned each
process necessary, and from the first drawing to the last nail
did the building and finishing himself, rigging whatever was
necessary, like a sling for carrying the logs. This is the house
that Munch and Nancy Cussler live in and are improving and making
their own.
', f I i,
After becoming addicted to sauna at Nick Wargelin's and
others', Bill determined a log house needed an accompanying bath
house. There was a sauna building on the property, the hand hewn
log work of the Kohtala brothers, but it had most recently been
used as a chicken house. Bill had taken a fall semester off from
teaching to work with the crew paving the Farm -to- Market road.
He was allowed to borrow the heavy equipment needed to pull the
N
old building up the hill closer to the house. Bill ) and Arvie
k�skie restored it as a sauna, and Saturday night saunas became one
of life's regular joys with not infrequently sauna guests
numbering a dozen to twenty or so.
After receiving the temporary appointment as the first rural
mail carrier from the McCall post office, and earning top grade
in the Civil Service test, Bill found that he still needed
political allies and a petition from the people on his route to
secure the permanent appointment, which lasted for 30 years. The
route gave him a host of memories, like the peeping of the small
chicks he delivered to Sara Willey; the wildflower bouquet in the
box from the Melton twins; talks at the mailbox with Ernest
Moudy, who Bill said was able to "hitch a horse" to any
conversation no matter how it began; packing driveway on request
after a snowstorm for a single lady on the route; a note of
thanks from a young mother of several pre-schoolers for stamps
and mailings. These are samplings only.
The mail route was a great job because in the beginning it
was a short route, and Bill was a farmer, too, haying, pasturing
cattle, milking three cows, fencing, and blending with the
environment he loved. The route was great, too, because vacation
time could be saved and stretched for trips to Australia and
England. In England Bill drove a rented car from the very heart
of London to an adjacent county, something tourists aren't
supposed to do. He was a practiced English driver since he'd
driven right hand side for years on the mail route.
The retirement to a warmer climate in Bandon, Oregon was all
too soon marred by the onset and diagnosis of Parkinson's
Disease. Family friend Norma Richards will say a little more on
that soon. However, two library discussion groups, and a couple
of years learning and serving as coast guides for a group called
Sea Education Awareness were time happily spent, as well as trips
0
to Illinois and Tennessee reunions, and south to California to be
with Mark.
Bill had a turn of mind that was always a delight. During a
bout of malaria, when asked if he wanted the covers up or down,
he said "How are they wearing them this year ?" He named our last
dog Luke so that (by including our son Mark) he could say to
preacher Bob Keyes "according to Mark & Luke ". Another pup he
named Rags, because the father was Patches and "Rags come after
Patches ". In early days at Bandon after a discussion group a
young teacher approached and said, "Do you mind if I ask if
you've been married a long time ?" The proper smile and "Yes, 50
years" never got said -- Bill instantly replied "What makes you
think we're married ?" There were always projects and plans in
prograss. Deck chairs, bootjacks, flower boxes, whatever, he
made them. Always it was "Don't buy that, I can make one better
and cheaper." And he could, if given time, but time doesn't
always stretch. nn

Today a much loved niece, P:a_t.ri c-i a Mi vshek -, and her husband
Jerry are here from Rock Springs, Wyoming. Two older sisters,

Hugh William Willey, 91, -Qf
cCall died Tuesday, Feb. 25,
,
200 at home.
Services will be held at V p.m.
Saturday, March 1, at the Don-
nelly Bible
Church where
Hugh was a
member. It will
be officiated by
the Rev. Tom :m
Penry, and
burial will fol- i�
low at Bell
Cemetery. -
Hugh was ,*
the second son
born to Claud and Mary (Spick-
lemire) Willey. He was born Aug.
28, 1911, at La Grande, Ore. In
1912, the family returned to the
ranch in Long Valley that had
been homesteaded by Hugh's
uncle Charlie and aunt Molly Wil-
ley and sold to Claude and Mary.
Hugh went to Bell School and
then to Roseberry High School,
where he completed the 10th
grade.
During the Depression years,
Hugh joined the CCC and worked
on the South Fork of the Salmon
River road, where he helped build
the bridges over the South Fork
and the Secesch rivers as well as
the guard station in Bear Valley.
In 1942, Hugh was inducted
into the Army as a sharpshooter
and radio operator. He was dis-
charged in 1943 following the
deaths of two brothers. He always
said he wished he could have
stayed in the service.
Hugh married Sara Yearwood
on April 26, 1947. Together they
bought the home ranch from his
parents and raised their three
children. Hugh loved working in
the timber. He worked at the Little
Saw Mill for John Jasper and
sawed logs in the woods for
Ralph Paris, Jack Seetin, Warren
Brown, and George Ikola.
Hugh's passion was to work
hard and do the best he knew
how, be it cutting logs, farming,
hunting, fishing, or just being
Dad. He was one of the best
gypo fallers in the woods and a
good steward of his land and
livestock.
Hugh played as hard as he
worked, catching his fair share of
chinook, steelhead, and trout and
harvesting an elk virtually every
year, the last in 2000 at the age
of 89. He raised his family on fish
and game, the beef was for sale.
Hugh is survived by his wife of

THIS `N' THAT
When I grow weary of
life's ills, I seek the Sol-
i ace of the hills. Above
the city's rush and roar,
•/t :�,: I find the peace I'm
seeking for. There, on a
quiet mountain road, I
cast aside my heavy
load. And, climbing
higher through the
trees, I hear celestial symphonies. Above the sky is
purest blue. The air is fresh and clean and new. As I
breathe deep I seem to feel elixir that can calm and
heal. Now, far below me lies the plain. Farther, the
city's stress and strain. But on this hilltop I am
free —a part of God's immensity. I do not barter, buy,
or sell. I only know that all is well. And all man's
striving to possess appears in its true littleness.
Humbly, I feel how small am I, beside this vast-
ness —hills and sky. And standing there upon the sod
I hear: "Be still. Know I am God."
—Karl Flaster

Alta Nicholson Williams
Caldwell
Alta Nicholson Williams, 99,
died peacefully on Friday, Jan. 6,
1995, in a Boise care center, one
day short of her 100th birthday.
Memorial services will be held
at 2 p.m. Monday, Jan. 9, at the
United Methodist Church, 824 E.
Logan St., Caldwell. Arrange-
ments are under direction of the
Dakan Funeral Chapel, Caldwell.
Alta was born Jan. 7, 1895, near
Newberg, Ore., the youngest of
three daughters of Milton and An-
nette Nicholson. She lived her
first decade in a gracious home
on River Street in Newberg. The
home, the Minthorn House, was
later listed in the National Regis-
ter of Historic Places, as the or-
phaned Herbert Hoover spent his
formative years there with an
aunt and uncle.
In 1904, Alta moved with her
parents and two older sisters to a
homestead near the Quaker com-
munity of Greenleaf, Idaho. Alta
graduated from Greenleaf Acade-
my in 1914, and subsequently
moved to Caldwell where she at-
tended the College of Idaho. She
met Ledru A. Williams while at
the College of Idaho, and they
were married one month before
graduation in June of 1918. Over
the next few years, Alta and Le-
dru had teaching positions in Vic-
tor and Weiser, Idaho, before set-
tling permanently in Caldwell
where they enjoyed a rich life
together focused around friends,
church, and the educational
community.
In the years to follow, Alta de-
voted herself to raising a daugh-
ter, Marjorie, and son, Richard,
and to supporting Ledru's career
first as superintendent of schools,
and later as dean of admissions
and education at the College of
Idaho.
5 t.a l p5 Y a" S'Q'r, - / 4 c y'
Alta was active in the Caldwell
community and enjoyed enter-
taining a large circle of friends.
Particularly dear to her was her
''Club," a social club of early
College of Idaho graduates that
met monthly for lunch and fun for
over 50 years. She was the last
surviving member. She was also
a member of the United Methodist
Women; a 50 -year member of
PEO Chapter AU; a member of
the Albertson College of Idaho
Alumni Half Century Society; and
the UT Club.
Family was very important to
Alta. Holidays were special times
usually spent at Alta and Ledru's
home in Caldwell during the
school years, or in the summer
months at the family cabin at
Payette Lake, McCall, In 1937,
after years of camping in the
McCall area, Alta and Ledru pur-
chased a lakefront cabin site in
Luck's Point on Payette Lake.
They completed a rustic log cabin
two years later. The cabin, and
the McCall area, has since been
the focal point of summer activi
ties and family times for Alta's
children, grandchildren, and
great - grandchildren.
In 1982, Alta moved from her
longtime home in Caldwell to the
Caldwell PEO Chapter House,
where she continued to enjoy her
many friends. In 1990, with accu-
mulating health problems, she
moved to an assisted care facility
in Boise, where she could be
closer to her son and
grandchildren.
Survivors include her son and
daughter -in -law, Richard and Rita
Williams of Boise; four grandchil-
dren and spouses, Kathy Fraga-
pane Curtiss and John Curtiss of
Jerome, Rick Williams and
Shauna, Ron Williams and Sara,
and Diane Williams Matthews and
John, all of Boise; and six great -
grandchildren, Lauren Grupe of
Jerome, Alec, Ben and Christo-
pher Williams, and Jake and Jesi
Matthews of Boise. She was pre-
ceded in death by her husband,
Ledru A. Williams in 1964; and a
daughter, Marjorie Williams Fra-
gapane in 1979.
The family requests no flowers,
but suggests that memorials may
be made in Alta's name to the
PEO Chapter House, or to Albert-
son College of Idaho.
Friends may call today from 3
to 7 p.m. at the Dakan Funeral
Chapel in Caldwell.

Claude Robert Wllllams "Bob"
Claude Robert Williams "Bob ", 64, of McCall, passed away on Thursday, Oct. 20, 2016, after a valiant
battle with cancer, but his larger than life persona, charm and trademark stubbornness will not be
forgotten.
"- Bob was bom Nov. 28, 1951 in Bums, Ore., the youngest son to John Williams and Ruth
' Balbach (Higby). A lover of the outdoors, Bob enjoyed many adventures in Chamberlain Basin
: as teenager (even once "stealing" a farmer's donkey to ride to a nearby camp to visit a group
of teenage girls).
Some of his favorite days were spent in the mountains of McCall fishing the rivers and lakes.
Bob attended Links School of Business and was a successful silversmith. He took great pride in
crafting one of a kind items for his customers incorporating elk ivories, gem stones and laws in his
creations.
He opened The Stereo Shop in McCall in the 1980's. He enjoyed a long career as roofer when he
opened All Seasons Roofing in the early 1990s.
Famously opinionated, a sharp tongued character in his own right, Bob's heart was as big as the sky.
He dearly loved his four grandchildren who brought him much joy and amusement. Many afternoons
were spent enjoying a popsicle while sitting on the front steps with Papa Bob.
He will always be remembered for his love of music, NASCAR, collectible cars and funny gadgets.
There will be a celebration to honor Bob's life in a few weeks. We will announce those plans as soon
as they are finalized.
Bob's girls, Nichole Harvey and Betsy Davies, would like to sincerely thank all of Bob's friends who
helped see him through his battle. Dad was a model of strong will and sheer determination right up to
the end of his journey.
Arrangements are being handled by Heikkila Funeral Chapel in McCall.

Mary McDougal Willis
Mary McDougal Willis of Mesa, Ariz., Boise and McCall, passed away peacefully on Dec. 30, 2014,
after a long and full life at the age of 99.
Cremation was conducted soon after death in Arizona. A Celebration of Life will be held next
summer in Idaho. The specific date, time and location of that celebration will be announced
after arrangements are made.
Mary's ashes will be interned next to her beloved Speck, infant son, and Bud, at Crown Point
Cemetery in Cascade.
She was born near Roseberry on Aug. 1, 1915, to Claude and Mary (Spickelmire) Willey. She was the
fourth child of four sons and four daughters born to this Long Valley pioneer couple.
Mary was raised, along with her siblings, Emery, Hugh, Vada, Meryl, Lottie, Frank and Jack, on the
ranch her parents homesteaded in Long Valley. She attended rural grammar schools, often on
horseback, near the ranch, and high school in Donnelly, where she loved to play basketball with her high
school team. She graduated from Donnelly High School as valedictorian of the class of 1933.
Mary and Ralph (Speck) McDougal were married Nov. 28, 1934. They operated Ralph's Cash Store in
Donnelly until 1952, when they sold the store and moved to McCall.
Mary worked part time as a clerk in the McCall Post Office for a few years prior to 1956. In 1956 she
began working full time and continued until she retired from the USPS in 1976.
After both retired, Mary and Speck enjoyed their winters as snowbirds in various parts of Arizona,
During their entire married life, they loved nothing more than to just get in their car and see where the
roads took them. It would not be out of the question for them to leave half full coffee cups on the kitchen
table and the front door unlocked, and to end up in Indianapolis (where Bud and family lived) or
Alabama (where Pat and Marion lived).
They were wonderful dancers (both round and square) and loved to partake whenever they could.
Speck died from cancer July 7, 1979.
Mary married Don Willis on Aug. 25, 1991. Mary and Don also spent many winters as Arizona
snowbirds and enjoyed paying visits to their friends and family. Mary and Don provided great support to
many family and friends through those family and friends' elder and infirm years.
They lived in Boise and spent their last years together at the Heatherwood Retirement Community in
Boise. Mary and Don became avid Boise State Bronco football fans and loved to watch them on
television.
Don passed away Sept. 12, 2011. Mary continued to follow the Broncos even after she could no
longer see television due to macular degeneration.
In July 2012, Mary moved from Boise to Mesa, Ariz., to live with her son and daughter -in -law, Lee and
Marie McDougal.
In late February 2013, Mary moved to Horizon Bay Senior Living Community in Apache Junction, Ariz.;
and in September 2014 to Red Mountain Reflections Assisted Living facility in Mesa, where she spent
her last few months.
Mary showed remarkable resilience and optimism. As she gradually experienced the loss of her sight,
hearing, and mobility, and became more and more dependent upon supplemental oxygen, she took
things in stride, smiled often and rarely complained.
In addition to her husbands, Speck and Don, Mary was preceded in death by an infant son in 1936,
her son Bud McDougal of Indianapolis in 2010, and all seven of her siblings. She is survived by her son
Lee (Marie) McDougal of Mesa, and her son Pat (Marion) McDougal of Oregon City, Ore. She has nine
grandchildren: Bruce McDougal of Arvada, Colo; Lisa (Wesley Ryan) McDougal of Elizabethtown, Ken.;
Anne McDougal of Indianapolis, Ind.; Molly McDougal of Springfield, Ohio; Mike (Mary) McDougal of
Tacoma, Wash.; Jay (Tracy) McDougal of Corvallis, Ore.; Peter (Wendy) McDougal of Wilsonville, Ore.;
Carol (David) McDougal Hess of University Place, Wash.; and Dave McDougal of New York, N.Y. and
Miami, Fla. She is also survived by seven great - granddaughters and 11 great-grandsons-
Mary was much loved and admired throughout her long and full life. She actively kept up with friends
and shared her love for family and was a pillar of each of her communities. She deeply touched those
she knew and will be greatly missed.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations be made to the American Cancer
Society, P.O. Box 22718, Oklahoma City, OK 73123 -1718, or online at www.donate.cancer.org.

T. Newton Winfree
T. Newton Winfree died Fri -
day, April 13, 2001, at his home
in'Mia►LValleY Idaho, at the age
of 92.
He was born Oct. 17, 1908, at
Willspoint, Texas, to Jeffrey O.
and Elva Lou Winfree. At six
years of age he and his family
moved to The Dalles, Ore. He
spent most of his younger years
on the central Oregon high desert
herding sheep and spending
countless hours running wild
horses. It was during this period
of his life that he developed the
skills of a cowboy by working for
the big horse ranches - the prime
horses going to the cavalry.
He and Georgie Steward mar-
ried in 1952. They owned
ranches near Medical Springs,
Ore., but they wanted to see
more of the country, so they
rented them out and spent a few
years in New Mexico and Colo-
rado. The country was beautiful.
and they had "the time of their
lives," but eventually the moun -:
tains called them home to Ore-
gon. For the next few years he
worked raising cattle and logging
his own timber.
51 d I e 5 ilvt a 0
in 1969, his mother -in- law,',
Grace Steward called Georgie
and asked them to come back to
Indian Valley and run her ranch
Newt was out working an
Georgie took the message out to
him. He was running a jammer
loading logs. He just stepped off
the jammer and said, "Come on
Ma, let's go to Idaho!" He was
known for making decisions
rapidly.
He spent the rest of his life in
Indian Valley. He had a reputa-
tion for always having horses for
sale. When people in the area
needed a horse, it was common
to hear them say, "Let's go see
what Newt has." He was very ath-
letic and you could really see it
when he was breaking colts or
working cattle. It seemed like he
was always ric;ng a half -broke
colt, but it didn't matter because
as was often said, "he could rope
anything from the back of any-
thing anyway." He was a hard
worker and taught many of his
grandsons to be the same.
He had one daughter, Elva
Mae Schneider, and three step-
sons, Allan, Ron, and Robert
Dunham. He is survived by his
sister, Ruby Embry of Klamath
Falls, Ore.; wife, Georgie Winfree;
son -in -law, Larry Schneider; three
stepsons, Allan, Ron and Robert
Dunham; and many grandchildren
and great- grandchildren.
A memorial service will be
held at 2 p.m. Saturday, April 28,
at the Indian Valley Community
Hall.

basketball player and excelled at
the trumpet. He graduated from
Greenleaf Friends Academy and
later attended business college
and The College of Idaho.
Jack's professional career
was with Albertsons, where he
managed several stores in Idaho,
and with HEB Food Stores as dis-
trict manager in San Antonio,
Texas. Jack was the owner and
operator of Highlands IGA for 10
years and was known for his kind-
ness to his patrons. He took spe-
cial care of his elderly customers,
often shopping for them and
delivering their groceries to their
door. He served for several years
on the regional board of directors
for the Independent Grocers
Association and in 1978, was
nominated for Small Business
Owner of the Year. He was noted
for his personalized license plate,
"Mr. IGA ".
Jack loved Idaho, and tried to
give something back to the com-
munitv by volunteering with the
Caldwell Jaycees; c�hai�rina the

eant executive board.
Jack was passionate about
everything he did. He was noted

and perfectionism. He worked
hard to make his stores the clean-
est and friendliest in town. Even
his go -karts were spotless, earn-
ing him the nickname "Mr. Clean"
among his fellow racers. Jack
was always meticulously
groomed and never wore a pair of
shoes that hadn't been polished.
He had his mother's love for
beautiful things- flowers, candles,
music, and his home.
He loved the outdoors, and
with his black lab "Lucky," found
great enjoyment hunting ducks
and geese along the Snake Riv-
er, and fishing on the Boise River
During the summers, Jack could
be found aboard Windchime, sail
ing Payette Lake in McCall. Win-
ters saw Jack on the slopes with
his children and grandchildren
enjoying cross - country skiing.
He was proud of his family
and devoted to his grandchildren.
Nothing was ever halfway with
Jack. If the stars are shining
brighter now, you can bet that's
because Jack is up there polish-
ing them.
Jack is survived by his wife,
Ann; three sons and their wives/
significant others, Scott (Margaret
Heidenry) of New York/Los Ange-
les, Todd (Diane) of Coeur d

Yea, though 1 walk through

Surely goodness and mercy shall

Happy birthday Idaho,
The beautiful and rich gem state.
No matter how far the traveler may
go
He'll find you hard to duplicate.
High your gorgeous mountains
rise,
Your high meadows so lush and
green,
Their majestic splendor a pleasant
surprise
Their rugged beauty a breathtak-
ing scene.
Your forest and uplands the
hunter's delight,
Your lakes the fisherman's dreams,
Your water fowl often seen in
flight,
Your trout lurking in the streams.
Yourcolorful sunrise the early riser
admires
Your skies of pure blue,
Your glorious sunset inspires
The artist to capture its gorgeous
hues.
How great to arise at dawn
to have clear, cold water and clean
fresh air,
To feast the eyes on doe and fawn
And perhaps twin cubs and mother
bear.
You are the vacationer's paradise
After the desert so hot and dry
They come here to camp under
your skies
And plan to live here by and by.
Your native children love you
dearly
We're here to live out our last
flays.
Tho' our futw.e 4e cannot see
clearly
We can wish yours to be prosper-
ous always.

Thomas O. Wooten
'Turbo Tom" (Thomas O. Wooten) left all of his friends and admirers with a void in their lives when he
departed peacefully with his wife at his side the naming of July 27, 2015 at the age of 68.
Tom lived large, was admired by all, and highly respected by those who knew him well.
His history in and around McCall dates back to the mid -1960s when he spent summers
working at backcountry ranches along the Big Creek drainage before the Frank Church River
of No Return Wilderness was established.
Throughout the years he owned many properties in McCall and in Edwardsburg at Big
Creek. When he was 19 he went to work for his uncle at a small chrome - plating shop in the
San Francisco Bay area, which he was then able to acquire at the age of 22.
He subsequently built the business through diligence and the application of self- taught technology into
a successful sole source provider to aerospace and computer component manufacturing companies of
high -tech electro-plating with exotic materials.
Tom tried unsuccessfully to hide his intellect by adopting the persona of a simpler fellow. However, he
had a photographic memory that enabled him to recall every phone number he had ever called, and
could quote the wavelengths in angstroms of different colors of light that were reflected from materials
he plated. He was a much more sophisticated individual than he let on.
Fast planes, loud cars, and long guns were his passions, along with his collection of tools that would
have rivaled that of a regional Snap -On distributor. However, it was not his possessions, but his
generosity that defined him.
He never understood the concept of buying just one of anything. Why buy just one barbecue when you
can just as easily buy half a dozen and give them away? Once, when he found that his favorite style of
athletic tube sock was no longer in production he contacted the manufacturer and asked how many he
had to buy to induce them to restart production. He then ordered several gross pairs, and spent the last
10 years trying to give away as many as possible to anyone who would accept a dozen at a time.
He was a skilled pilot who owned and flew a variety of single and mufti- engine planes. His aerobatic
planes could often be seen flying "outside of the box," but he was very competent despite his sometimes
unorthodox interpretation of the rules. Before moving to Idaho permanently from the Bay Area, he
frequently commuted to Boise and McCall in one of his planes. He has owned several hangars at the
McCall Airport, and frequently "held court" there to entertain his frequent visitors.
Tom leaves a legacy of kindness and generosity, and an indelible mark of friendship to many. Our
lovable rascal will be sorely missed by all.
Friends are invited to attend a memorial service, Saturday, Aug. 15, 2015, at 2 p.m. at the Wooten
family home in Eagle.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to www.rebuildbigcreek.com in memory of his lasting
presence there.

Death: Barbara Sulllvan Worden
With very heavy hearts we said goodbye to our cherished wife, mother and grandmother, Barbara
Sullivan Worden, on Saturday, April 23, 2016.
Barbara passed away at home in Boise surrounded by her entire family. She was an
inspiration to all who had the good fortune of knowing her, if even for a short time. She was a
beautiful, compassionate soul with a strong and feisty spirit.
.. -
•' 4, Barb was born in San Francisco, Calif., to Ward and Nell Sullivan on April 2, 1930. Her early
years were spent in the Bay Area.
Graduating from Dominican High School in 1948, her leadership qualities had become
apparent as she was twice elected Gass president as well as student body president. Moving on to San
Jose State, she became a member of Kappa Alpha Theta Sorority and ultimately met her beloved Ron,
husband of 64 years.
After marrying on May 31, 1952 in San Jose, they left the reception and headed for Ft. Bering, Ga.,
where Ron had just been commissioned and assigned. Five days driving cross - country sufficed for a
honeymoon! While in Georgia, Barb worked for WGBA radio.
After Ron's discharge, they settled in Exeter, Calif., where both children, son Stephen and daughter
Susan, were born. While there, Barb worked as a columnist for the Exeter Sun newspaper.
Career moves took them to Sacramento where she volunteered for numerous groups, including
schools and sport clubs, as well as organizing Confraternity of Christian Doctrine groups. After a move
to San Mateo, Barb served on the parish council of St. Bartholomew Catholic Church.
Upon returning to the Sacramento area, they settled in El Macero, where they lived for 28 years. Golf
became a huge part of Barb's life. She assiduously studied the Rules of Golf and worked many junior
tournaments as a rules marshal. During this time, she captained the women's golf group and recorded
four holes -in -one.
Sailing was another love of Barb's. She, Ron, family and friends spent many hours sailing on San
Francisco Bay. One summer while visiting son Steve in McCall, they fell in love with the area and
eventually purchased a home there. Many wonderful summers were spent there with family and friends.
In 2007, a permanent move was made from El Macero to Boise in order to be closer to her daughter
and family. Barb treasured the added time she was able to spend with grandchildren Andy and Sophi.
Barb loved to travel and accompanied Ron on business trips to the Far East and Europe as well as
many wonderful vacation trips. Her char was instrumental in any business success her husband
enjoyed.
She is survived by her husband, Ron; son, Stephen; daughter, Susan (Phil) McClain; and
grandchildren, Andrew and Sophia. She also leaves behind several nieces and nephews, as well as
treasured friends who were so supportive during her many illnesses. She was preceded in death by her
parents and her adored brother, William.
The family would like to thank Barbara's loving caregivers, Nicole, Jody, Andi, and Heather.
A celebration of her life will be held in McCall later this summer. If desired, donations may be made to
her favorite charity, St. Jude Cancer Research Hospital for Children; 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN
38105.

Charlene L. Workman
Charlene L, Workman, 83, died at her home in Riggins after a few months of failing health.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, March 21, 2014 at 2 p.m. at the Salmon River
Community Church in Riggins.
F
Charlene was born on March 1, 1931, in Los Angeles, Calif., to Coleman A. and Lois L.
Hollingsworth. Charlene and Lois were soon thereafter abandoned by Coleman and left to
fend for themselves.
IIn 1940, Lois remarried to Charles J. Billings who then became a wonderful and caring "real
dad" to Charlene for the remainder of his life.
Charlene grew up with her special cousins, Ronny and Charlie Bernard, who were like brothers to her,
including the tricks and the teasing of such a relationship ("whatever you do, if you fall while we're trying
to teach you how to water ski, don't let go of the rope," which took her right toward the bottom of the
lake).
After graduation from high school in Miami, Ariz., Charlene met and then married DeLoss (Doss) Y.
Workman on Feb. 3, 1950, a marriage that lasted almost 47 years until his death in December 1996.
Doss and Charlene moved to Riggins after the Korean War in 1952 and made their home there for the
rest of their lives. In the prime of their lives, Charlene worked at the post office and then was the
secretary for the Salmon River Lumber Company while Doss ran the Texaco Service Station and they
raised two sons and a daughter.
Following the devastating lumber mill fire in 1982, Charlene continued to help support the family by
working at the bank, by taking on various bookkeeping jobs, property rental jobs, and operating the stale
liquor store.
Charlene loved Riggins and the people who lived there and they loved her back. She was active in the
community, participating in most of the events and functions and helping out where needed. She served
on the Riggins City Council for several years and played town -team volleyball into her 60s.
In her golden years, Charlene particularly enjoyed spending time with and traveling with the next love
of her life, Doug Crump, another long -time Riggins resident who lost his wife near the time Charlene lost
her husband. They attended the jazz festival in Sun Valley in the fall, went to Arizona in the winter, lied a
fun time in San Antonio, and made excursions with their church family throughout the year.
In addition to her husband Doss, Charlene was preceded in death by the untimely loss of her youngest
son, Mike, at age 35 due to an illness, and her oldest grandson, Joe, at age 21 due to an accident, two
tragedies of life that hit her hard.
She did, however, continue to take great pleasure in her remaining children, grandchildren, and great -
grandchildren at all times but particularly at holidays and family get- togethers.
Charlene is survived by her son Mark (Mary Ann) Workman of Pullman, Wash., daughter Rexann
Zimmerman of Riggins, grandchildren Brandon Workman of Portland, Caleb (Rachael) Workman of
Clearfield, Utah, Stephanie (Jake) Davis of Boise, Shai Workman of Coeur d'Alene, Jazmine Mitchell of
Ogden, Utah, and five great- grandchildren, Elizabeth, Chloe, Eric, Tristuana, and Joy.
As her family, we want to say that we were very blessed by having her in our life.

DAVID MANNING WORSLEY
Dave Worsley of Deer Valley,
Utah, died Feb. 23, 1995, at his home
after a long battle with cancer. A
private memorial service will be held
at the family cabin in McCall.
Dave was born Nov. 15, 1936, in
Salt Lake City, the son of Clifford and
Phyllis Worsley. The family moved
to Boise in 1950. Dave attended North
JuniorHigh and graduated from Boise
High School in 1954.
He served two years in the United
States Marine Corps, stationed in
Tokyo, Japan. When Dave returned,
he attended the University of Idaho
for his undergraduate degree and then
Stanford University for graduate
school. He joined Ford Motor Com-
pany in 1963 and worked for Ford for
31 years, retiring in 1994.
Dave and his wife, Marina, en-
joyed running and skiing, and they
even tried a triathalon. Dave com-
pleted his first marathon in St. George,
Utah in 1985, with a time of three
hours and 23 minutes. Dave enjoyed
training for the marathon by running
around Payette Lake in McCall.
His job gave him the opportunity
to travel throughout the Western states.
He loved being on the road, preparing
his own gourmet meals at the Resi-
dence Inn, and spending his days with
the people who came to know him
well.
He valued the friendships he made
through Ford. During the past few
years, Ford assigned Dave to Idaho
which made it possible for he and his
family to spend the summers at the
family cabin in McCall. They en-
joyed working on improvements to
the cabin, adding something special
every summer.
Dave was well recognized by the
Sylvan Beach people as he putted
along the shore in the Sea King to visit
his friends and to see who had arrived
for the weekend.
Last year, Dave and Marina moved
into their new home in Deer Valley, a
home that Dave was proud of and
gave him great pleasure.
He particularly loved sitting by the
fire looking out at the magnificent
view. People who knew Dave well
will miss his original mind and his
unusual sense of humor. Dave will
always be with us in spirit.

Christina; and son, Dan; his father
and mother, Clifford and Phyllis

you are out enjoying yourself and
think of him.
Dave received the very best of
medical care during the last four years
of his life thanks to Daniel Rawson
