Grandma Ida...

PRESTON - Ida Lorene Robins Fuhriman, 95, passed away Monday, April 18, 2011, at the Franklin County Medical Center in Preston. She was born March 6, 1916, in Plain City, Utah, the daughter of Ira Joseph and Irene Folkman Robins. She married Darvel Miller Fuhriman on Dec. 22, 1936, in Preston, Idaho. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Logan LDS Temple.
She was a beautiful seamstress and an excellent cook. She made the best cinnamon rolls ever. She enjoyed sharing her sewing and cooking talents with family, friends and neighbors. She was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She enjoyed serving as a visiting teacher and as Sunday School secretary for many years. She also served as a temple worker.
She is survived by her daughter, Janet F. Maughan of Scottsdale, Ariz.; her son, Scott D. Fuhriman of Key West, Fla.; five grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband and by three brothers and one sister.

Grandma Ida would have been a hundred years old yesterday. Oh how I miss her. The above obituary forgot to mention that she loved her family dearly and they meant the world to her. That she was their rock. That she was the kindest women. That she loved to tell stories - over and over again. That she spent most of her life caring for her sick husband or daughter. That all of her posterity (it's grown by 10 since then) loved her so much that they were all in attendance except the two great-grandsons on a mission. That she was a perfect example of how to love with patience and non-judgment. I am who I am today because of this great lady and will be eternally grateful for her love and example. I only pray that I can be the kind of sister, wife, mom, grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great grandmother that she was to her loved ones. Because we are an eternal family I get to be with her again someday and it will be awesome! I love and miss you Grandma Ida. Thanks for everything.
