Shirley Ann France
Shirley Ann France, 79, of Corral, Idaho passed away unexpectedly Friday, May 18, 2018 surrounded by her family. Shirley was born January 8, 1939 in Bliss, Idaho to Glen and Olah Graves. She was youngest of five children and her childhood was spent in Bliss on the family farm. She was a star basketball player at Bliss High School, honored as the top scoring player in the state one season. Her passion for basketball remained with her throughout her life. Her moves certainly caught the eye of Marvin France once they met on a blind date in 1956. One year later to the day they were married and had a 55 year honeymoon of love, their joy extended by their children Teri, Ray and Clayton. Shirley was a woman with a strong faith, which she quietly showed to others through her actions of care, love and compassion. She was known for her gentle kindness, quick with a smile and a warm hug to all she knew. She loved the majestic beauty of the Camas Prairie, always ready to grab her fishing pole in search of a big catch. Her home was always open to all, from the large array of birdfeeders attracting all manner of winged creatures to the flocks of friends, family and former classmates that gathered for the many reunions held on their farm. She was happiest when surrounded by her family, joining together in love, thanks and laughter. She was an incredible cook and displayed her love to others through her delicious meals. And to the end, she was never one to miss out on pulling a quick prank to surprise loved ones, always followed by laughter and an embrace. Shirley is survived by her sister, Peggy Morris of Twin Falls; three children: Teri (Ken) Backstrom of Corral, ID; Ray France of Palm Springs, CA; Clay France (Graham McReynolds) of Corral, ID; four grandchildren: Stephanie (Dan) Telford of Salmon, ID; Annika (Chuck) Ginsberg of Portland, OR; Grayce (Ben) Wagner of Corral ID; and Kayme Backstrom (Brian Parker) of Boise, ID; and six great-grandchildren: Cameron, Connor, Kellon, Jack, Marvin and Henry. Shirley was preceded in death by her husband Marvin France, with whom she is now reunited; parents, Glen and Olah Graves; brothers, Alvin Graves and Gene Graves; and sister, Erma Colter. Visitation for family and friends will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. Thursday, May 24th, at Demaray Funeral Service — Gooding Chapel.

Cup of Tee
© Yesterday morning I stopped at the bank (a branch other than my personal one) to cash a check. The bank only wanted to give me partial amount because I didn’t have enough in my account to cover someone else’s check. I informed them that I pay cash for everything and the only reason I had an account was to cash checks. I don’t go around the neighborhood filling everyone’s gas tanks with fuel. Therefore, I shouldn’t have to have an account to credit everyone. I also told them that every single month they get their service charge to perform services. I will state once again as I have in many “Cups of Tee,” if everyone paid a monthly service charge instead of free service, we would not have this scenario. When I went in to pay my phone bill (in person) the place was full and overloaded. I grabbed a chair and waited for my turn. Ahead of me a younger fellow did a transaction and the clerk told him that they could not accept cash and he had to pay with a credit card. He walked out, went into a bank a few doors down, and came back with a credit card he had just put cash on to do their transaction. My Transaction was several behind the young fellow’s. In fact, one of the counter people was still tied up on his so he actually got to finish his transaction ahead of me. That was fine. I was renting my space in the chair. Once I got to the clerk I told him I wanted to pay my phone bill. He said to me, “Will that be credit of cash?” I was already irritated by them making him pay with a credit card. I told him, “Cash.” He

said, “Do you know there is a $3.00 charge for cash?” I said to the clerk as I laid a $50 bill on the counter, “Yes, I am aware of the credit card charge for you to accept my cash and it really angers me. Do you see this inscription on this $50 bill? It says this note is legal tender for all debts, public and private. If I was that young man I would have demanded that the service he did be zeroed because you didn’t accept his payment.” (I have done this many times.) The clerk was uncomfortable especially with the load of people in the store. The clerk’s reply was, “We are not set up to deal in cash.” Still angered I said, “Why are you charging a cash fee then?! It seems to me that your company really doesn’t trust its employees to count, accept, and render cash due. It’s all about something for nothing. There’s a few of us who work for everything we do and pay for all our services.” I felt bad as I left the phone center after paying my bill. I’m sure the people following me probably didn’t make the clerks any more comfortable. They really don’t have control. To top my day off, I was walking around the block and a set of Chihuahua mixed breed dogs started barking as I walked around their area. They started every dog on that block barking. So as I passed by each place, every dog was at the fence barking. Maybe as people we should start barking more and working more to make our money have value. This is my “Cup of Tee” to credit or discredit.
