August 16, 2014Frank William Hirschi, beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle and friend passed away peacefully in his home, surrounded by his loving family on Wednesday, August 13, 2014, due to the incidence of age.
He was born February 2, 1925, to William and Marianna Seiler Hirschi at Montpelier, Idaho, the fifth of seven children. His parents were Swiss immigrants and he was very proud of his Swiss heritage.
At a young age he learned a strong work ethic as he farmed and ranched with his father in the Montpelier area. Choosing to forgo a farm deferment, he joined the U.S. Navy and served his country as a Radioman on the mine sweeper, USS Revenge during World War II.
On November 26, 1946, he married his sweetheart, Carol Price, in the Salt Lake Temple. Frank and Carol teamed up for a busy and blessed eternal marriage and, at the time of his parting, they had been married 67 years. His formal education included a B.S degree in Agriculture, M.S., and Ed.D degree at Utah State University. He had a passion and talent for teaching-especially the youth. Frank loved people and found great satisfaction in a job well-done. He always enjoyed the opportunity to serve. Frank's priorities were his family and his faith. Schooling and employment took him and his family from Idaho, where he taught high school agriculture and later seminary; to Logan, Utah, to further his education; to Garden Grove, California, where he coordinated seminary and institute programs. In 1973 he moved his family to Centerville, Utah, where he worked in the CES central office. He also served in the Idaho State Legislature, representing Bear Lake County from 1960-1966.
He was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He had a great love for his Savior and for the scriptures. His service as a member of the church included: Bishop and counselor in the Stake Presidency in Montpelier, Idaho; member of the Melchizedek Priesthood General Committee and Patriarch in the Centerville, Utah South Stake. Frank and Carol served several missions together beginning with Frank being called as the first president of the Mississippi Jackson Mission; CES teaching assignment in the Study Abroad program in Israel; CES mission at BYU-Hawaii; MTC President in New Zealand; CES mission to Eastern Europe establishing the seminary and institute programs in missions in Russia, Ukraine, and Hungary. After their missions, Frank served as a sealer in the Bountiful LDS Temple and as Mayor of Centerville City from 1998-2002.
He is survived by his wife, Carol, and their three sons and three daughters: Craig (Elaine) Hirschi, Pocatello, Idaho; David (Pamela) Hirschi, Centerville, Utah; Carol Lyn (Steve) Pilkington, Kaysville, Utah; Scott (Dawna) Hirschi, Kaysville, Utah; Laura (Randy) Hayes, Rexburg, Idaho; Janet (Dan) Paxman, American Fork, Utah, as well as 17 grandsons, 17 granddaughters and 49 great-grandchildren.
Fond memories of Dad and "Gramps" include much time spent at the ranch, many hunting and fishing trips, getting caught in a "bear trap," playing "run my sheepy run," jitter-bug dancing, and many Swiss words and traditions taught in our home. His posterity was his pride and joy.
Surviving siblings include: Erma Louise Gantenbein and Betty (Darrell) Bienz. No doubt he had a wonderful reunion with his parents and siblings, Helen Stone, Mildred Tueller, Violet Bartschi Child and Melvin Hirschi.

May 25, 2018Ruth Price Rigby passed away Saturday, May 19, 2018 at her home in Logan, Utah. She was the youngest child born to Fredrick John and Gertrude Rich Price. She arrived December 3, 1932, in the family home at Paris, Idaho. She graduated with honors from Fielding High School in 1951. Ruth worked as a receptionist for Dr. Spencer Rich until 1952. She married John Wilmer Rigby on August 1, 1952 in the Logan Temple. At the time of their marriage Wilmer was a pharmacy student at Idaho State College in Pocatello, Idaho. Ruth worked as a bookkeeper for Bannock Motors until her husband graduated in 1954.
A daughter, Nancy Lyn, arrived, January 19, 1954. The young family moved to Evanston, Wyoming, where her husband Wilmer worked at the Warner Drug as an intern pharmacist. After completion of the pharmacy internship Wilmer and Ruth moved their family to Price, Utah. While in Price a son, John Dale, was born on September 4, 1956. They lived in Price for two years; during this time Wilmer practiced pharmacy for Walgreen Drug Company. The next opportunities for the family were in Montpelier Idaho and Challis Idaho. Wilmer accepted employment with the Lowe Drug Company in Montpelier. The family moved to Challis when they partnered with Ralph and LaVonne Bartschi to purchase the Challis Drug Store. In 1962 they finally settled in Salmon, Idaho where they owned and operated the Rigby Pharmacy for thirty-eight wonderful years. During these years Ruth kept very busy raising her children and serving diligently in many church positions. As the children matured, Ruth trained as a Licensed Practical Nurse. She worked with Dr. Zach Johnson and at the Steele Memorial Hospital.
Ruth enjoyed the Salmon River Country. She delighted in exploring the enormous backcountry mountains surrounding the Salmon River by Jeep, horseback, or airplane. She and her family enjoyed floating the rivers and camping. They experienced a few breathtaking close calls while shooting the rapids on the wild and free flowing rivers. Ruth exulted in catching her first steelhead, demonstrating a true knack for this challenging sport. She often out-fished her husband and professional river guides. Many fine fish tales could be told here.
Wilmer and Ruth served a proselyting mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in the Lansing, Michigan Mission. They experienced spiritual joy and satisfaction with each convert that entered the waters of baptism. Upon returning home, Ruth and Wilmer served for nine and a half happy years as officiators in the Logan Temple.
One would be hard pressed to count Ruth's many dear friends. She accumulated them wherever she went, delighting in these choice associations. When help was needed, she was there to provide comfort, food, and encouragement. One of her happiest times was home teaching with Wilmer. Ill health and some bad falls eventually overcame Ruth's earthly life. She was a true lady extraordinaire, and so loved. She will be dearly missed.
Ruth leaves behind a grieving husband, her two children, eight grandchildren and eight great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by one granddaughter, her parents, one brother, five sisters, three sisters-in-law, and three brothers-in-law. One surviving sister, Carol Hirschi, remains the only living child born to Fred and Gertrude Price.

At 93, still a genteel, bright, loving and involved lady, Edith slept peacefully away as she wished, in the company of her beloved son, Robert, and his wife, Roberta, at the Care Source Hospice Center. A stroke only six days before took her from her home of 39 years.

She was educated in Richmond schools and North Cache Utah School, where she graduated as valedictorian. She graduated from Utah State University (then Utah State Agricultural college) and was a member Chi Omega Sorority, serving two years as president, Theta Alph Phi, honorary theater society, Phi Kappa Phi, honorary scholastic society.

Edith taught English at the University of Utah and in Salt Lake City schools, at Horace Mann Junior High School and then at South High School as an English teacher and as a librarian. She loved her students and they her. For her friends she was a resource of the latest in what to read. She was a true professional, serving as a leader in teachers' organizations, as a building representative, as a member of the Executive Council of Salt Lake Teachers' Association, and as chief negotiator for the teachers for two years.
Edith served her church with the same devotion and instinctive ability. Never content with anything less than excellence, she was a member of the YWMIA General Board for 12 years and then a member of the newly established Church Correlation Committee. Respected counterpart to Lowell L. Bennion, she was chairman of the Youth Committee for Girls, in charge of writing lessons.
In 1955 Edith and Charles established and for more than 25 years owned Kiddie Ville, Inc., a unique children's store featuring clothing, furniture, and toys in Provo and Orem.
Though Edith lost much of her eyesight to macular degeneration as well as the ability to move well from her automatic chair, she maintained in her own home the same gracious hospitality that made her a favorite to visit. Her cheerful and insightful conversation never dimmed. She outlived all of her birth family and most of her close friends, but she kept in loving and candid touch with the world beyond her rooms and never lost interest in those others she so thoroughly loved.
She is survived by son Robert and his wife, Roberta, four grandchildren, Elizabeth, David, Emily (Mrs. Jacob Gienger), and Ashley (Mrs. Ryan Johnson), and three great-grandchildren, Ian, Hannah, and Caleb Gienger.

October 6, 2009Winifred (Winnie) Barton Stivers, cherished mother, grandmother, aunt and friend, passed away peacefully in her home Saturday, Oct. 3, 2009, surrounded by her immediate family.
Winnie was born to Linna and Charles Barton in Antonito, Colo., on June 12, 1919. She had an older brother, Leland, whom she idolized. Her family moved around southern Colorado from Antonito to Menassa, ending up in Alamosa. Winnie graduated from high school in Alamosa in 1936. After attending Adams State in Alamosa for one year, Winnie began working at F.W. Woolworth's and met Thomas Walter (T.W.) Stivers. They married on Nov. 11, 1940. T.W. went into the Navy and, while he was deployed on a minesweeper during World War II, Winnie rented a room in a boarding house in San Diego, Calif. When T.W. retired from the Navy, they moved to Twin Falls. In 1946, Tom and Winnie had twins, Richard and Susan.
Winnie was always very involved in the Twin Falls community. She supported her husband and two children by being a leader in PTA, Bluebirds, Cub Scouts and Republican Women. Winnie had a lifelong love of reading and keeping up with local, state and national news. After moving to Twin Falls, Winnie played on a bowling league and was an avid bridge player, maintaining the same group for more than 50 years. Winnie always had a love of baseball. The Brooklyn Dodgers was her favorite national team, but the family supported the Magic Valley Cowboys here in Twin Falls. In the early 1960s, T.W. and Winnie bought Boone Land Title Company. The name changed to Title Fact Inc. when they built the office that is currently on Fourth Avenue in Twin Falls.
Winnie was an avid lifelong learner. She and T.W. did extensive world traveling. Both were interested in other cultures and their home is filled with souvenirs and memories of their trips to nearly every continent. It was tradition after each trip that the family would gather for a slide presentation put on in the basement of the family's home.
A common thread that ran through Winnie's whole adult life was her total and complete devotion as a wife, mother, grandmother and friend. She supported both her children in their community endeavors, as well as caring for her granddaughter, Ammy, when she was very young.
Winnie began writing a journal with her daughter, Susan, two years ago, and they would write in it together several times each week. Winnie noted that she wanted to be remembered as someone who saw the good in everyone and never complained. The biggest lesson Winnie learned in life was to accept what happens. She was quoted saying, "I don't try to fight it. Things are going to happen that you can't control. Several times in life, you have two choices and whatever choice you make will determine your future. I've never regretted any choice I've made." Her favorite phrase to any family member or friend who was suffering or enduring hardship, was "this too shall pass."
Winnie is survived by her twins, Richard (Kathy) Stivers and Susan (Deck) Waters; and granddaughter, Ammy Waters, all of Twin Falls; sister-in-law, Wanda Stivers of Hailey; and many nieces and nephews.
