Bio:
Donald Scott Gerdes

Donald "Donnie" Scott Gerdes, age 46, passed away Friday August 11, 2017 at home surrounded by his family. Born October 12, 1970 in Nampa, Idaho to Don and Ila Gerdes. Donnie has three sisters, Pam Kelly, Cindy Gerdes and Sandy Sarceda. Donnie loved family gatherings with all the extended family. Because Donnie came later in life to Don and Ila; he got to grow up with all of his nieces and nephews. After Donnie was born, there was a niece and nephew born about every 18 months. He loved them all and taught them to ride horses, motorcycles and swim in the canal. He was the piped piper. They all loved him. Donnie graduated from Homedale High School and grew up doing 4-H, shooting club, and high school rodeo.

Donnie married Dixie Wolfe February 28, 1994. Together they had three children; Tucker, Kolbie and Gauge. Donnie was an amazing husband and dad. He taught his children about character and integrity. He taught them to ride, hunt, fish, camp and to love the outdoors as much as he did. Donnie loved following the kids around through school as they participated in 4-H, football, basketball and high school rodeo. Donnie was so proud of all three of his children and loved them with all of his heart.

Through the years Donnie worked at Beef North West, Owyhee Feeders and Boise Valley Feeders. Donnie loved what he did for a living and it showed in his work ethics and relationship with fellow co-workers.

Donnie loved to hunt, rope and he especially loved branding season. During branding season there was nothing more he would rather be doing than branding. Donnie loved people; he made friends easily and was a good friend to have.
Donnie always had a gentle easy smile. He loved to laugh and to make others laugh. He saw life differently from anyone; he loved it!!! His sense of humor was priceless. Donnie would tell you that his greatest accomplishments in life were his relationship with the Lord, which truly sustained him these last seven months and his very special marriage to Dixie. His legacy is truly their three children he and Dixie raised. Donnie was an amazing son, brother, husband, father and friend. He will be deeply missed, but will be forever loved.

A funeral service will be held at 10 am, Wednesday, August 16th at the First Baptist Church, 204 E Elm, New Plymouth with Pastor Dan Dykema officiating. Burial will follow at Wilder, Idaho Cemetery.

I was given the gift of life and now I have to give it back. This is hard. But, I was a lucky man, who had a wonderful life filled with love, family and friends. I am at peace. Until we meet again.

Sept. 15, 1917-Oct. 7, 2017 - Josephine E. Maruska, age 100, died peacefully on October 7, 2017, after a short stay at Community Hospice in Longview, Washington.
------------
Josephine was born September 15, 1917, in Caldwell, Idaho, the daughter of George and Othie Gardner. The family moved to Dayton, Oregon when she was only a month old and she spent the rest of her life in Oregon.

In 1942 she was a Rosey Riviter in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where she met the love of her life, Ernest J. Maruska. They were married April 12, 1943. Ernest was a pilot in the Air Force during World War II.

In addition to raising their three children, she also worked as a supervisor at Jantzen Clothing Company where she retired after more than 30 years.

She was an avid gardener and enjoyed daily walks.

Josephine is survived by her son, Ronald and daughter, Joann. She was preceded in death by her son, Ernest Jr. and her spouse. She had seven grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren and nine great-great-grandchildren.

Special thanks to her granddaughter, Patti and her incredible caregivers, Wilma, Patty, Sandy and Marlene, without whose help she would not have been able to remain in her home until she was 100 years old.

There will be a celebration of life at her home in Scappoose, Oregon on Saturday October 14, from 1-4 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Community Hospice in Longview, Washington.

He graduated from Santa Rosa High School. Later he graduated from Glad Tidings Bible Institute, San Francisco in 1937. Aileen Robison became his wife in 1933 and together they started five churches, and pastored nine churches between Texas and California. In 1948 Justin answered the call to Brazil to be a missionary. Aileen, the two boys and their baby girl joined him in this memorable adventure. His fire and passion in life was preaching and teaching God's Word. The other work Justin did was that of a butcher with his brother Burnett in Napa. The family is famous for cutting and selling Christmas trees in the Santa Rosa area for many years. He also owned and operated a produce market in Santa Rosa; he designed and built two mobile home parks, one in Santa Rosa and the other in Eureka. He had a shrimp boat in Texas and a tuna boat harbored in Petaluma. In the late 1970's Justin manufactured commercial crab pots for the local fishermen. At the same time he taught his oldest son to make crab pots, which he is still doing. Justin is survived by his wife of 21 years Betty J. Griggs of Eureka; two sons, Harvey Griggs and his wife Elona of Eureka, Wesley Richard Griggs of Descanso, two daughters, Dolores Hansen and her husband William of Santa Rosa and Patty Voltenbergs and her husband Mark of Eureka; his brother, Daniel Griggs and his wife Betty of Santa Rosa and his sisters Florence Slyker and her husband Bill, and Wilma McAdams of Santa Rosa; 15 grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews. Justin was preceded by his first wife Aileen Griggs, his parents Justin and Viola Griggs, sisters, Ora Hansen, and Ester Griggs and his brothers Harvey, and Burnett Griggs. Justin's question to everyone, even strangers, was "where are you going to spend eternity?" Lost souls were his main concern. Friends attended funeral services on Saturday, June 7, 2003 at the First Assembly of God Church in Eureka. A reception followed at the church after the service.
