Mildred Mae Jones Carr
Mildred Mae Jones Carr, 95, passed away peacefully on Monday, March 31, 2008, at Shoshone Living Center in Shoshone.
She was born Sept. 1, 1912, in Cripple Creek, Colo., to Minnie and John Jones into a family of five brothers and two sisters. She has fond memories of her short childhood near Nucla, Colo., until her family uprooted during the Depression years.
In 1937, she married James Carr of New Meadows, Idaho, where they lived on a ranch, later moving to north Idaho during the war years and back to Weiser, where they farmed and raised their family.
She had many travels in her life and loved her family, life, little children, the outdoors and gardening.
Survivors include her three daughters and one son: Kathleen and James of Sparks, Nev., Beverly Carr Boyer of Hagerman and Karen Carr Lentfer of Bellevue; two grandsons, William “Billy” Carr and Dustin Wilson of Hailey; three granddaughters, Leslie Day and Stephanie Hoffman of Boise and Katie Eldredge of Twin Falls; five great-grandsons and two great-granddaughters; and numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband James in 1981, two daughters, infant Judy Louise and Shirley Ann in 1970.
Private memorial services will be held. The family would like to thank Shoshone Living Center and their staff for taking such good care of Mildred.
Arrangements are under the care of Wood River Chapel of Hailey, Idaho (www.woodriverchapel.com).
