Cup of Tee

© When I was younger, we lived on a 160 acre ranch, one of several owned by the same people. My dad managed the one we lived on. Sometimes I would tag along with my dad as he irrigated the crops. At the far end of the ranch was a little store that catered to the migrant work force.

Dad would take me in the store and we would get a treat. Dad wasn't much into sweets but would do an ice cream. I usually got a Chick-O-Stick candy, a chocolate drink, or the ice cream in a little cup.

The ice cream in the little cup came with a wooden spoon. Sometimes you would get two spoons stuck together. Sometimes a person would get two ice creams and only use one spoon. It seemed like there was never a shortage of the wooden spoons.

Dad and I would sit by the pump that pumped water for the ranch and eat our ice cream before heading back home. It seemed like everything was good and felt right.

When gas was over five dollars per gallon, I felt like I was being robbed without a gun. It wasn't the lady's fault who ran the cooperative when I got gas. She barely priced the gas a little over cost to help everyone with the high price of fuel. I started buying ice cream in the little cup as I got gas.

by Tee Hurd

Ice cream always makes one feel good, no matter what's going on. It has its little magic that works. Sometimes when someone is having a bad day, I'll treat them to ice cream and things seem to be better. I told the people at the Coop that the ice cream made me feel a little better with the price of gas.

But, the sad part of the ice cream at the coop... there were no little wooden spoons. They tell me the suppliers quit send the spoons long ago. How do they expect you to eat the ice cream out of the cup? With your fingers?? Something just doesn't feel right.

Currently, I usually have a plastic spoon in my vehicle. The price of gas has went down under five dollars a gallon, but the price of ice cream still remains. The ice cream is supposed to make you feel good... right? Something doesn't feel right.

Recently I stopped at an ice cream shop and got two scoops of ice cream. The price was over five dollars for the two scoops. I had not purchased any gas anywhere. Something didn't feel right.

The ice cream was served with a napkin and a plastic spoon. I have come to the conclusion ice cream needs to be shared. One part still puzzles me, "Does the wooden spoon make the ice cream in the cup complete and feel right?"

This is my "Cup of Tee" without the spoon.

Laura loved visiting her dad at work, seeing what he was working on, and riding in the "buddy seats" on the equipment with him. By the time she was three years old, she could successfully identify every piece of equipment the company owned. She shared her father's love of 4-wheelers, trucks, beef jerky, and late nights watching Ice Road Truckers. She attended Edgemont Elementary School from kindergarten through second grade. In the summer of 2007, Nathan unexpectedly passed away.

The following year, Jillea married Andrew Young and they moved to Shoshone, where Laura gained three younger brothers and attended Shoshone schools until she graduated in May of 2018. Throughout the years, Laura was very active in school and community programs. She raised and showed lambs at the county fair through the county 4-H Program, was a member of the local FFA Chapter, rodeo team, drama club, and honor society, and served as a State Ambassador for the Idaho Muscular Dystrophy Association.

On August 3, 2018, she married Jared Brownlee, of Richfield, in the Twin Falls Idaho Temple. They were later divorced in July 2021. During their marriage, she attended college while also working part-time as a Paraprofessional at the Shoshone School District. She worked for the school for a little over a year before she accepted a position as a 911 Dispatcher at Southern Idaho Regional Communications (SIRCOMM). During her almost 3 years of employment here, she suffered 2 strokes and her health drastically declined until she was physically unable to work.

On September 30, 2021, Laura married Michael Newell, Jr., of Buhl. The following March, she gave birth to their son, Nate. He was her proudest achievement.

Laura believed that education was one of the most powerful tools you could have. In April of 2023, she graduated from the College of Southern Idaho with high honors and a degree in Criminal Justice.

Laura was welcomed home by her father, Nathan Neiwert; maternal grandparents, Robert and Meralyn Robinson; paternal grandfather, John Neiwert; "stepmom", Michelle Young; aunt, Maya Hanberg; uncle, Mel Huppi; friends: Stratford Sorensen and Olivia Johnson; Idaho MDA friends: Tanner Hopkinson, Taylor Ruiz, AJ Dickens, and Dr. Jacob Neufeld; and many other friends and loved ones.

Vickie Lee Bennett

Vickie Lee Bennett, our mighty warrior, ended her battle July 19, 2023, and earned her wings surrounded by her husband and daughters at home.

She was born on August 18, 1956, to Della and Cliff Kimbrough in Gannett, Idaho. She grew up living a great farm life full of tree houses in the willows, riding horses, and helping her daddy with the cows.

It was in Wendell that she fell in love with a boy named Pat Bennett and started a 51-year adventure when they moved to Hill City to his parents' homestead house and Pat farmed the land that has been in his family for three generations. She had Jenni Lee and then Jandi Lynn first. After a few years of growing up and learning to be a farm wife, gopher, a mom and an EMT, she had Maggi Jo and Chelsi Angela to complete their family.

She always wanted to be a nurse and so walked into the clinic in Fairfield to talk to Dr. Donald Levin and that started the next adventure where she met a work family that became so important to her. She started as a receptionist and worked her way back into the rooms before becoming a Certified Medical Assistant where she found her calling. She started working at the Hailey Clinic for 30 years before having to cut back because of cancer. She was an advocate in building the Fairfield Clinic which became her most important contribution to the community.

One of her favorite roles throughout the years was training and working with Hospice. She loved being able to share the special time with her community friends and their families to help them begin their next adventure too.

In retirement she got to spend her time with her hubby, girls, and grandkids. She loved being a part of her girls and their families' lives.

Cancer became her battle for almost 14 years with her wonderful Dr. Ackerley battling beside her and always finding the next plan B. His nurses were always there for her, and she was extremely grateful to have them.

Our small community was so important to her and there are too many that touched her life to mention here, but her heart was huge, and she shared it freely with anyone needing it.

She is preceded in death by Emma and Elmer Bennett; her mom and dad - Cliff and Della Kimbrough; her sister - Sandy Adams; Jack, Dina, and Rollie Bennett; Scott Cutler, Ray Zaccone; and nephew - Caleb Benson.

She is survived by husband of 51 years - Pat Bennett; daughters - Jenni (Jake) Riley, Jandi Bennett, Maggi Bomalaski and Chelsi Bennett; her grandkids - Miranda, Alyssa (Chad), Madison, Madi Paige (Jay), Kenzie, Ryan (Grace), Mason (Ashley), Aidyn, Hadley, and Mabel; as well as four great grandchildren - Bentleigh, Della, PJ and Ruby Jean on the way; her four sisters - Cheryl, Katie, Julie and Jonie; Nels and Christy; numerous nieces/nephews; her daughter's Godmother Angela; HER Godmother Mary Pat; and a couple of "adopted" daughters she gathered along the way.

She thanks God, her family, and friends for such a wonderful life. She loved every damn one of you. There is a hole in the universe but we know every time we see a dragonfly it will send us a happy memory.

Her celebration will be full of sunflowers, daisies and lots of color. All her friends and family that plan to attend are asked to don their favorite-colored attire in her honor.

A celebration of life for Vickie will be held on Wednesday, July 26, 2023 at 2 p.m. at the Camas County High School Gym in Fairfield. Burial will follow at the Hill City Cemetery. Memorials may be made to St. Luke's Respite House (Fruitland. ID – Hikin for Healthy Hooters Room, cancer) and/or the Meridian Idaho Lions Club (Camp Hodia project –youth diabetes).

Karen Betty

Karen (Brownie) Betty, our beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend passed away on Tuesday, June 27, 2023 at Chardonnay Assisted Living in Twin Falls surrounded by loved ones.

Karen was born on April 3, 1951 in Richland, Washington to Chester and Myrl Brown. She joined 3 sisters - Lynn, Tammi, Cathy, one brother - Alan and later welcomed her baby sister - Naomi.

Karen was raised in Hagerman, Idaho and married Del Ray Betty on May 16, 1969. She and Del Ray raised their three children - Lisa, Jennifer, and William in Jerome. Their early years were spent on the farm on Barrymore Road and eventually moved to their forever home on West Avenue F. Their home was open to all and was filled with laughter and happy times enjoying their time with family and friends, especially her grandchildren whom she loved with all of her heart.

After the death of Del Ray, Karen moved to Hagerman living with her beloved brother and sister-in-law Alan and Rhonda Wickham. She cherished the time she was able to spend with her siblings and nieces and nephews. Family meant the world to her. Due to Karen's persistence in getting a cat, she moved to Twin Falls and adopted dear old Smokey, the toothless Russian Blue. He was her baby and she was not content if he was not by her side.

Karen was diagnosed with lung cancer in April 2022. She courageously went into the Mountain States Tumor Institute daily for radiation treatments and weekly for chemo. She had a smile on her face the whole time and although she was tired and frail, she rang the bell after her final chemo treatment. She was surrounded by loved ones who would take her to her treatments and sit with her. She never met a stranger there and held the nursing staff very dear to her heart.

During the final days of her life, she was surrounded by loved ones, Mama's smile, laugh, memories, and singing filled the room until she took her last breath. It was such a beautiful day and although it was a difficult day for her loved ones, she handled it with grace and anticipation. She was truly the strongest, feistiest, and most loving sister, mother, aunt, grandmother and friend anyone could ask for.

pool is where she met John, that is where their story began. They’d play every chance they got.

Crystal had a love of the outdoors. She loved to go camping in the mountains even though she always seemed to come back with some kind of injury, like tripping over her tent.

She had many interests and many friends. She loved to read a good book or rather listen to it on an audio book. She liked movies, animae, comi-cons, cooking, gardening and her fur babies. She’d laugh at TicToks until she’d snort, making us all laugh.

Crystal has worked as a CNA for many years, and I am sure she has touched many lives while working in health care. She gave so much of herself as she cared for others, that she didn’t take much for herself. Even with all her medical issues, she still gave of herself. Her work on Earth is done, she can now rest.

She loved hard and loved completely. She loved her family, husband and friends with a fierceness that you would not want to cross. She was loved by so many. We will miss her always, but for always live in our hearts.

A memorial service honoring Crystal will be held on Sunday, July 30th, 2023 at 1 p.m. at Rosenau Funeral Home (2826 Addison Ave. E) in Twin Falls, ID.

Karen felt like the luckiest woman in the world. She had the most amazing family and friends that she loved dearly. Remember that when you think of her. She always said it is better to laugh when you want to cry and that the glass of life is always half full (I am sure hers was half full with a margarita!).

Karen is survived by her three children - Lisa Raye (Sam) Koompin of Twin Falls, Jennifer Lea (Mike Ford) Cooper of Spring Creek, Nevada, and William Thomas (Angela) Betty of Clayton, Utah.

Karen's loving grandchildren are Kari (Erick) Culver of Hansen, Stacey Cooper of Spring Creek, Nevada, Mikaela (Cordell) Betty of Clayton, Utah, Holden Koompin of King's Bay, Georgia, Kelsey (Adrian De Kruyf) Cooper of Portland, Oregon, Mathew (Kaylee) Betty of Tennessee and Josie (Kaden Garcia) Corona of Reno, Nevada.

She was blessed with 7 great grandchildren - Kaleb, Kaitlyn, and Elissa Culver, Asher and Madison Betty, and McKinlee and Hudson Betty.

Loving sisters - Lynn (Wayne) Ills, Cathy Wisling and Rhonda Wickham of Hagerman, Tami (Don) Conklin of Kuna, Jenalee (Kay) Hansing and Cheryl (Dan) Hansing of Wendell, and her soul sister - Carla (Rodger) Bell of Meridian.

Karen was preceded in death by her parents - Chester and Myrl Brown; husband - Del Ray Betty; brothers - Ted Wilsing, Alan Wickham, and Phil Jensen; great nephew - Cory Bauer; and great niece - Tahnee Sims.

We would like to give a special thank you to Mountain States Tumor Institute, Chardonnay Assisted Living and the amazing staff at Auburn Crest Home and Hospice. Your passionate care for mama and us during the final days is greatly appreciated.

A celebration of life in Karen's honor will be held on July 27, 2023 at 1:00 pm at the American Legion Hall at 281 North State St. in Hagerman.

Miss me a little, but not for long

And not with your head bowed low Remember the love that we once shared; Miss me, but let me go.

Tanyr Ryan Fischer

Tanyr Ryan Fischer was born on July 6, 2000 in Twin Falls, ID to his parents Monti and Myriel "Myr" Fischer. He came into this world so small with so many big obstacles to overcome. Before the age of one, he was already faced with surgeries and testing. He took each challenge head on with all the little strength he could. From a young baby, doctors said that he wasn't supposed to be able to walk or talk. (Which he gladly proved them wrong.)

Growing up he was faced with 11 surgeries and multiple therapy appointments. Through all of them, he kept a smile on his face and showed his family just how strong and determined he was. He was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and he was a primordial dwarf. He was a warrior.

Growing up, Tanyr fell in love with Star Wars. That love never left and he was able to tell anyone anything about the movies. As he got older, he joined his older brothers in the love of Pokemon. He chose Charizard as his favorite and you could find him drawing Charizard during his spare time. He also shared a love for Chevy Camaros.

He was educated in the Twin Falls School District at Oregon Trail, Robert Stuart, and graduated at Canyon Ridge. And while he was the smallest in his class, he had the biggest smile and the loudest laugh.

Tanyr enjoyed being outside. His favorite activities included camping, swimming, and riding his Razor. He learned to swim at 9 years old without any life vest and he hasn't left the water since. Family would refer to him as being a fish because he would spend all day swimming if he could. He was thrill-seeker jumping into water from high places. Even after his nieces were born, they joined his adventure. He would take them and show them animals, pick up sticks, and take them out into the water. When his parents got their pontoon boat, he became the captain. Tanyr would take his family around the lake and enjoyed driving the boat. He enjoyed boating and going tubbing and knee boarding with his family. He also enjoyed driving his razor around the mountains. He would spend hours riding with his family, and extra quality rides with grandpas.

(Cindy) Brooks, Roger Brooks, Roselyn Brooks and Phillip Brooks; two grandsons – Dustyn Brooks and Dillon Brooks; three great grandchildren – Izabel Brooks, Jaden Brooks and Hunter Brooks; one brother – James Hubbard; four nieces – Casey and Lindsay Hubbard, also Susan Hubbard and Kate Hubbard; and three nephews – John (Kyoke) Hubbard, Paul (Chris) Hubbard and Charles (Tiffany) Hubbard.

She was preceded in death by: her husband – Raymond Brooks; her parents – Frank and Phoebe Hubbard; one brother – Charles Hubbard; and one niece – Jennifer Hubbard.

A celebration of life for Mary Lou and Raymond will be announced on a later date. Cremation arrangements are under the care and direction of Demaray Funeral Service – Gooding Chapel. Condolences, memories and photos can be shared with the family by following the obituary link at www.demarayfuneralservice.com

Tanyr also loved his game days. He picked Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturdays and would be upstairs in his room playing Xbox the whole day. If you needed to get ahold of him, you knew not to try and get ahold of him on any of those days.

Tanyr had a laugh that was so contagious that it could brighten up any room. He had a personality that was so easily loveable. Anyone and everyone who ever met Tanyr felt loved and welcome. With his unique personality, he was able to make anyone smile. That included his nieces who would always have a smile when Tanyr was around. He would spend hours in his room with his nieces sharing his love for Pokemon and Star Wars. Their laughs would fill the air as they were with their Uncle T.

He also had an imagination like non other. He would spend hours walking around creating stories. Tanyr would share his stories to anyone who would take the time to listen.

Besides his personality, his most memorable fact was his love for the color orange. Everywhere he went, you would see orange. There was his orange hats, Razor, helmet, clothes, and even in his favorite Pokemon - Charizard. He would always been seen wearing a hat with one ear bud in playing music at all times.

Tanyr is survived by his parents - Monti and Myriel "Myr" Fischer; and his two brothers and sister - Kameron (Shayla) Fischer with their kids Ellery and KamLee, Blayz (Katie) Fischer with their kids - Enahlya, Ainsley, and Tayson, Sakysha Fischer (Trevor Nelson). As well as many grandparents.

He is preceded in death by his sister - Brooke, Grandma Deon Fischer, and Aunt Gayla Lyon.

We will miss our son, brother, uncle, friend, grandson, and Captain for the rest of our lives.

A potluck style celebration of life was held at the family home on Sunday, July 16th. Cremation arrangements by Demaray Funeral Service - Gooding Chapel. Condolences & memories can be shared at www.demarayfuneralservice.com
