Ferry. Funeral Services will be held at 1 p.m.
Saturday, October 1, at United Methodist Church,
6568 Lincoln, Bonners Ferry, with interment

Annie was born on November 19, 1938, in Kellogg,
Idaho, to Vernon and Ethel Rosco. At an early
age the family moved to Boundary County and
settled in the Curley Creek Area. Annie attended
Curley Creek, Buckhorn, Northside and Valley
View schools as well as the old High School.
After a short marriage, a daughter, Roberta, was
born, and it was necessary to go to work as a
waitress to support herself. Annie worked for
Ester Irons and the Don’s Café.
While working at Don’s Café she met the love of
her life, Elden Koon, a Border Patrolman who was
transferred to Bonners Ferry from the Mexican
Border. They were married on July 17, 1963, and
on May 8, 1964, David Koon was born.
Elden was later transferred to Sweetgrass,
Montana, Detroit, Michigan, Helena, Montana, and
then back to Bonners Ferry, where they built a
home on 80 acres of land on the North Bench.
Because of Annie’s health problems, they later
moved to town and built a home in Bonners Ferry.
Annie loved animals and flowers and her pastime
was golfing and bingo. She was a long time
member of the American Legion Auxiliary and the
Hospital Auxiliary.
Annie is survived by her husband, Elden Koon,
son David Koon, daughter Roberta Holmes,
brothers Russell and Marion Rosco and Vernon and
John Rosco. Her beloved aunt Valdie Burkholder
and cousins Rockey Burkholder, Jimmy Burkholder
and Teresa Becker, as well as lots of nieces and
