Michael L. Healy


Michael L. Healy, 65, passed away peacefully at home in Hailey on Saturday, March 1, 2008.

He was born to Leo B. III and Marge W. Healy on Aug. 1, 1942, in Dayton, Wash. The family moved to Buhl, Idaho, in 1957, and Mike graduated from Buhl High School in 1960. He joined the Army in 1964 and was very proud to serve his country in the 101st Airborne Division.

For 20 years Mike owned and operated a business in Hailey. He did not always love the work but he did care for the people. For 13 years Mike was involved with the Hailey Volunteer Fire Department; for five of those years he was assistant and later fire chief. Mike worked for the city of Hailey for 11 years and seven years for the Blaine County School District.

His competitive spirit came alive during his baseball-coaching years. He always enjoyed the kids and took great delight in watching them develop into a first-rate team.

Mike said there were three things that made him the most proud: knowing Jesus as his savior, family and being a U. S. Army paratrooper.

Mike is survived by Marilyn, his wife of 43 years; son, Michael John of Boise; sister, Ann Callan of Jerome; one niece and three nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents and one brother, Terry.

In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to The Life Church Missions Fund, Box 3490, Hailey, ID 83333, or Hospice of the Wood River Valley, Box 4320, Ketchum, ID 83340.

A memorial service will be held at The Life Church, 406 N. Main St. in Hailey, at 11 a.m., Saturday, March 8. Arrangements are under the care of Wood River Chapel of Hailey.
