Serving with all Gentleness & Compassion...
obit ua r ies
Our beloved son, father , grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend passed away in his sleep on the 21st of September 2023 in his home. He was the son of Joy Woods and the late Leon Woods. He grew up in Grace, Idaho and was very active in sports – football, wrestling, and track – where he competed in the Idaho State track competition twice. After graduating high school, Mike enlisted in the United States Army. After the army, he returned to Mesa, Arizona where he worked in the microchip industry until he became disabled from a back injury. Despite this, he still tried to help friends and do small jobs to help where he could. Mike was often a camp host during the summers in Arizona on the Mogollon Rim. Mike was raised to hunt and fish by his dad where he grew to love the mountains. As Mike aged and spent a lot of time in the mountains with Chris, his second son. Mike met a friend who owned a gold claim, and he allowed Mike and Chris to work the claim as he taught them about finding gold. Mike was a member of the LDS church. In his younger years, he was a scout master, which he really enjoyed because he liked kids. In his later years in Hagerman, he played the Santa Claus. With his twinkling, blue eyes and his white, natural beard. I think that he was better than the Coca-Cola Santa Claus. He loved being a part of the community and the people. Mike was loving, strong, artistic, and talented in many things. Mike is survived by his mother, his brothers and sisters, and his two sons, David Skinner and Christopher Woods. Michael Alan Woods was laid to rest in the Glenns Ferry Cemetary on 29 September 2023. --- --- --Dear Hagerman community, There are no words to express our thanks for your love, prayers, kindness, concern, and support that you have all blessed our family with during such a difficult time after the unexpected passing of Mike Woods. Thank you so much for the help in the major clean up and the continuing work that is being done at the house. Most important, thank you all for rallying around Christopher and showing so much love and continued support. All of you have been a great comfort to him and to our family during this difficult time. May each of you, and this community, be blessed with the continued love that surrounds you each day. With thanks and forever gratitude, The Woods Family

Christine "Tina" Lee Rice
On Tuesday, October 17, 2023, Christine “Tina” Lee Rice, loving wife and mother of four, passed away at the age of 75 from complications arising from a long battle with cancer. On that same day, 53 years ago, she married her husband, Jim Rice. She is survived by Jim; her four children and their spouses, James (Shelly), Joe (Stacie), Jordan (Karen) and Annie (Jamon); 10 grandkids; two dogs she adored, Mater and Lily; and many, many close family members and friends. Tina was proud to say she was born in Omak, Washington, with an apple in her mouth — and made sure her kids knew it. Raised in Lewiston, Idaho, she was the cherished daughter of Rose and Alvin Holterman and the beloved sister of Charlene, Peggy, Todd and Karen. When she was a teenager, the family relocated to Nampa, where Tina graduated from Nampa High School. In her younger days, Tina’s adventurous spirit took her from Glacier Park, Montana, to Costa Mesa, California, to Kansas City, Missouri, working in food service and charming customers (and making good friends, one of Tina’s many talents) with her warmth, wit and humor. Her adventures eventually brought her back to Idaho, where she worked for Carrol’s dress shop at Karcher Mall in Nampa. She soon crossed paths with Jim Rice, a handsome farmer from Hill City, Idaho, who was attending Northwest Nazarene College. Their connection was instant, culminating in their marriage on October 17, 1970. They soon settled in Hill City, built a home and started their family. Tina was not someone who liked to sit idle. The harsh winters of Idaho inspired her creative mind to start a ski hat company, Trak Toppers, in 1982, which became popular enough to get into the Horchow and L.L. Bean catalogs. For several years, on top of taking care of her home and family, she traveled to sporting goods stores and tradeshows to promote the custom, handmade hats, only closing up shop when her yarn supplier shut its doors. She later embarked on a career in real estate, which was a perfect fit for her charm, charisma and energy. Her career took off when Jim and Tina created a second home in Meridian, Idaho, in 1998. Tina thrived in the industry, and her skill and success were recognized in the early 2000s when she was named Real Estate Agent of the Year. In everything Tina did in her life, from cooking to shopping to gardening to decorating her home to taking care of others, she shone with determination, intelligence and genuine kindness. She never did anything halfway, and her interests and passions led her down many exciting roads, including a stint in politics. Tina was appointed to the Idaho Women's Commission by Governor Phil Batt, and she helped run the campaign for her close friend, Jon Mellen, when he ran for Senate. Tina was also active in the SpurWing Homeowners Association for over 20 years, taking care of her neighborhood and making sure its residents took pride in their community. Tina loved meeting new people, always asking about their birthdays so she could figure out their zodiac signs — then learn everything else she could in the time she had with them. Her genuine interest in every person’s story fostered countless friendships and connections throughout her life that she treasured every day. Tina loved animals, especially dogs, and all things trees, plants and flowers. She was always striving to beautify her home, indoors and out, and helped others to do the same. A talented cook, she never stopped wanting to try out new recipes, and her kitchen gadgets were some of her most treasured possessions, along with her beautiful baby grand piano, the centerpiece of her living room. Tina was truly one of a kind — a force of nature. She touched many lives and will be greatly missed by all. A celebration of Tina's life was held at Waters Edge Event Center in Eagle, Idaho, on Sunday, Nov. 12, 2023. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests making a donation to the Women's and Children’s Alliance in Boise, Idaho, or to your local animal shelter. If you have any favorite stories or photos of Tina you would like to share with her family, please send them to MemoryofTina@gmail.com.
