Myrna Margaret Helms Amoth was born to Carl and
Amanda Helms on February 5, 1934 at Prineville,
Oregon . While her grandchildren were singing to
her, she peacefully passed away on July 14,
2015, at the Restorium in Bonners Ferry, Idaho.
Our family is very grateful for the loving care
that she received there. Funeral Services will
be held on Monday, July 20, 2015 at 11:00am in
the Mountain View Mennonite Church at Bonners
Ferry, Idaho with interment in the Mountain View
Mennonite Cemetery.
She was married to me, Donald Amoth, on March
20, 1953. The first years of our marriage were
lived in Oregon, later moving to Bonners Ferry.
Our home was blessed with three sons and two
daughters. Myrna always enjoyed our children,
grandchildren, and foster children. She was
happiest with a baby on her lap.
Mom had a new birth experience and was baptized
into the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite at
the Mountain View congregation. Although she
experienced struggles in her Christian life, she
always wanted her children to be Christians. Mom
came back to the Lord five years before her
death.
We spent many winters in Arizona, especially
enjoying the Sun Valley congregation at El
Mirage, who were instrumental in her finding her
way back to the Lord. Myrna enjoyed special
friendships with her neighbors both in Bonners
Ferry and in Phoenix.
Those who preceded her in death were our son
Randy, her parents, her brothers Wayne and
Raymond, her sister Crystal, one granddaughter
Andrea, and one great-grandson Randy.
She leaves behind her husband Don; sons Anthony
and wife Darla of Grafton, North Dakota; Delton
and wife Anna; daughters Carla Ratzloff and
Karen Sue and husband Troy Harms, all of Bonners
Ferry; daughter-in-law Gail and husband Paul
Hughes of Hazelton, Idaho; one sister,
Donnabelle Jones of Glide, Oregon.
There are 14 grandchildren, 35
great-grandchildren, and many relatives and
friends who will miss her. |
