to Russell and Mildred Strohl. The family moved
to Bonners Ferry in 1946. Jennie attended Mt
Hall E.S. and Bonners High School. After
graduation she attended and graduated from
business school in Boise, Id. She returned to
Coeur d’ Alene in 1965 and worked for several
Coeur d’ Alene businesses. She then moved to
Buena Vista Ca. where she married Ronn Starr on
Sept 2, 1967 in Anaheim, CA. She worked as a
bookkeeper for a major car rental service until
they moved back to Bonners Ferry, in 1970. She
held different positions and jobs from
bookkeeping, secretary, hops truck driver, short
order cook and several positions with the
Boundary County School District.

Russell, mother Mildred Strohl and her husband
Ronn Starr. Surviving are son Jason Starr

El-Halhuli (Bob) of Everett WA., sister Rebecca
Strohl Hess (Bill) of Sparks, NV., four

In her younger years she loved water skiing and
softball. She was known for her love of all
animals. A stray always found food, water,
shelter and a loving hand. She enjoyed her
volunteer work for different animal
organizations. Her best days and nights were
camping on the Moyie River and Spar Lake with
her family. She was a voracious reader of all
genres. Give her a book, a campfire, her family
and she was happy.
Jennie was admired and respected by her family
and friends for her tenacity and courage in her
hard fought battle with cancer. A fight she was
winning the morning of her accident, where she
was on the way for treatment in Spokane to,
hopefully, eradicate the cancer once and for
all.
Jennie attended Mountain Springs Church where
she enjoyed her volunteer work. Her faith always
carried her forward. She was also proud of her
time spent with the Women’s Cancer Education and
Support Group of Bonners Ferry.
