Clarissa Curless Linnemeyer, 94, passed away on

Funeral Services will be held at 1 p.m.
Friday, August 31, at the Bonners Ferry Funeral
Home, 6485 Harrison Street, with interment in

years, Carl.
Shirley was born on June 23, 1918, in Montezuma,
Ohio, to Alva H. and Laverna (Wells) Curless.
She married Carl L.P. Linnemeyer on June 8,
1935.
They were a familiar sight, heading to town in
the pick-up truck with Mom sitting close by
Dad’s side. What can we say about our Mom? She
was a giving person and also a strong woman. She
and Dad worked hard to keep us seven kids fed
and cared for. That was not an easy task in
those years.
The strength of all the woman of that era is
something to be admired.
Mom loved being outside, she had a green thumb
and whatever she planted grew, produced, or
flowered. She made many beautiful quilts over
the years. All her family and friends will miss
her and we all send her off with love.
She was preceded in death by her husband Carl
and son Larry Linnemeyer.
Survivors include children Max (Jan) Linnemeyer
of St. Maries, Idaho, Karlene (Dan) MacDonald of
Bonners Ferry, Ron (Lynn) Linnemeyer of St.
Maries, Art Linnemeyer of Bonners Ferry; Bonnie
(Mike) Brown of Cusick, Washington, and Steve
(Sherri) Linnemeyer of Baker, Oregon; 21
grandchildren, many great grandchildren and
several great-great-grandchildren, plus many
nieces and nephews.
The family suggests memorials be made to the
Senior Hospitality Center. Mom was a big
supporter and would say it not only offers a
meal, but also companionship. She had many
friends there that will miss her.

Arrangements are entrusted to the care of
Bonners Ferry Funeral Home. |
