Saturday, April 08, 2017Bible College, he was ordained as a licensed minister with the Assemblies of God and became a pastor of his first church in Long Pine, Nebraska. His ministry then took him to pastor churches in Rupert, Idaho; Buhl, Idaho; Jerome, Idaho; Kamiah, Idaho and Elk Grove, California. He, along with Del Storey, co-founded and pastored the inter-denominational church of Christian Center in Twin Falls, Idaho. He also traveled extensively throughout the United States, Mexico, Canada, New Zealand and Australia ministering at Christian retreats, conferences and missions.His other passions in life included playing and watching golf, flying his airplane, attending the Junior High and High school sports events of his children and grandchildren, and cheering for the Boise State University’s football team. His greatest enjoyment was witnessing the successes of his family and church members and was always there to encourage us if we fell short. With him there was no such thing as a stranger. In his eyes, everyone around him provided an opportunity to engage in conversation, tell jokes, laugh and smile. His sense of humor, devotion to family, and endless love for Jesus were deeply ingrained and evident to the very end.

Saturday, April 08, 2017November of 1963, when they sold the store and purchased Valley Livestock Commission Company in Rupert, Idaho. This business was very successful for Wayne and Loleta, due in part, to many faithful buyers and livestock producers, as well as dedicated employees. Wayne became ill in the fall of 1972, and passed away at age 49 from a malignant brain tumor. Loleta continued to run the business until the property was sold in 1983.Loleta married Albion rancher, Donald Merrill, in September of 1983, and moved to Albion, Idaho. Once again, she was on a ranch and she loved the Albion Valley. Don passed away in 2001, and she continued to live on the ranch until buying a home in Burley in 2014.Loleta was active in many organizations. She served on the Idaho Beef Council and was a member of the Idaho Cattlewomen Association and served as president of the Mini-Cassia Cattlewomen. She rode with the Minidoka Wranglers riding club for a number of years. In 1994, she was inducted into the Southern Idaho Livestock Hall of Fame. She was also honored to be Grandma Rodeo Queen in 2003 for the Minidoka County Fair and Rodeo. In 2006, she was chosen as the Farm Woman of Cassia County by Farm Bureau. She was a member of the Albion Senior Citizens and the Albion Four-Leaf Clover Club. She was a faithful member of the LDS Church and loved being a Den Mother for eight years in the Pella Ward. She also served in the Sunday School, Mutual, Primary and Relief Society. She served in the Bishop’s Storehouse and the Twin Falls Temple, which she dearly loved. She was always happiest when she was busy helping others; cooking, cleaning, canning fruits and vegetables, and making jerky, pickles, and jam and jelly that she shared with her family and friends. She also enjoyed bowling for more than 40 years, golf, horseback riding, traveling, reading, and, watching many sports on TV – especially rodeos, bull riding, and the Golden State Warriors.She is survived by her children, Linda (Wendell) Cutler of Heyburn, Gay Dawn (Lonnie) Downs of Burley, Marshall May and Me...
Monday, April 03, 2017Now both are served. They tried turkey once, Marion Hartford said, but it wasn't satisfactory.Marion Hartford has volunteered since the dinners began. She and her husband Rupert have been cutting the meat all these years, she said.“He's 87. He says this year should be it,” she added.The dinners are on Saturdays now, but Ian Hartford was in Boyko's class at CDCI East back when the dinners were held on Fridays. They would leave the school after classes, travel west through downtown Cobourg to Satterley's on Ball Street, and load up on the little bakery's legendary buns.“They were still hot,” Hartford recalled.The pies are still home-made — though there aren't really enough bakers at the church, so an appeal goes out to the community and to other churches for the pies. It is always successful.The attention to detail pays off in diners regularly coming from as far away as Ajax, Whitby, Tweed, Peterborough and Belleville.“We do really, really well with outside people,” Marion Hartford said.There are local regulars as well, and this fellowship is what makes the typical church supper a completely different experience from dining out in a restaurant.“It's the only place you can see 75 people all getting along in a work environment, and everyone feels good about what they have done,” Boyko said.Even the volunteers pay for their dinner tickets, Marion Hartford added — though the work they do is priceless.“We really do appreciate our volunteers through the school hours,” she noted.Boyko gave an idea of the amount of volunteer help that they rely on.At the dinner, 75 people will be serving up food and washing dishes, but that's just the last chapter of the story. Before that, another 15 would have been on-site that morning to peel potatoes, set tables and cook. And the day before, another 15 would be there to set up the tables, peel carrots and make coleslaw. Then there are about eight volunteers who sell tickets.It's heart-warming when it all comes together, Boyko said. It's not just a great meal, it's a chance for the people of the area to get together and see friends they haven't seen for some time — and might not otherwise have run into except possibly at a funeral.“Everybody comes in and hugs somebody they haven't seen for a while,” Marion Hartford said.Saturday's dinner runs from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Alnwick Civic Centre (9059 County Rd. 45 in Roseneath). Tickets are $15 for adults, $5 for children aged six to 12, and free admission for children under six.cnasmith@postmedia.comTwitter.com/NT_cnasmith ...

The family eventually settled in Rupert, Idaho and welcomed daughter Kari Ann. Karen enjoyed raising her family in Rupert, and worked at the local Chamber of Commerce for several years.Little did Karen know while growing up in Velva that she would end up traveling the world. Leo's work took them to live in Pakistan in the 1980's, where Karen traveled to India, the Maldives, Thailand and England. Karen worked at the American Consulate in Lahore, Pakistan, where she made close friends who she later traveled with back in the States.After a short time in Denver, the next port of call was Egypt in the 1990's, where Karen, Leo and Kari Ann lived for several years in Cairo. Karen enjoyed all that Egypt had to offer, from trips to the Valley of the Kings, riding camels on Christmas Day at the pyramids, or searching out exotic trinkets at the shopping bazaar in Cairo. While in Egypt, Karen also stamped her passport to Greece, Turkey and the historical sites of Syria.
