Irene was born January 12, 1916, in Ogden, Utah, to Charles William Surrage and Charlotte Sheppard, the third of their seven daughters.

November 25, 2014The family of Edward Vern Gabriel, Jr. is saddened to announce his passing on November 18, 2014 at the age of 88. Ed passed away at his home in Millbrae, California surrounded by his loving family.
Born to Edward Vern Gabriel, Sr. and Emma Lavina McFarland in 1926, Ed was the oldest son of 13 siblings. Ed left the farm at the age 17 to join the U.S. Navy during World War II. Ed sailed aboard the USS Jerauld as an Electrician's Mate P-Second Class. He was honorably discharged from the United States Navy Reserve in 1955, and was proud to be part of the "Greatest Generation".
After serving his country with honor, Ed settled in the San Francisco Bay Area, meeting and marrying his sweetheart, Lavern.
Together they raised two daughters in San Bruno and Millbrae, Ginger Lee Valencia (Michael) and Sharon Lavern Armanino (Vincent), his youngest, who predeceased him one month ago to make sure he had a loving smile to welcome him into heaven.
Ed had a 35 year long career as a Senior Industrial Electrician with Varian Associates -Eimac, first in their plant in San Bruno and then their headquarters in San Carlos. Also, Ed managed his own electrical company, Gabriel Electric, until 1985 when he finally gave away his work truck so that he could tell his many loyal clients he really did retire. More than anything in the world, Ed cherished his family. His greatest joy was doing things that would make his children and grandchildren happy. He would fix a broken faucet or build a go-kart for a grandchild, or a staircase for a family dog that had gotten too old to jump up onto the bed. If you need him to, Ed could put an addition on your house. He had a superior work ethic that he strived to pass on to those who ever worked with him or help him complete one of his many projects. On his 80th birthday, Ed's son-in-law said "When I do a job I ask myself "is this the way Ed would have done it?" if the answer is yes, I know it's a job expertly done".
Ed is survived by his loving wife of 64 years, Lavern; his daughter, Ginger Valencia; his sons-in-law, Michael Valencia and Vincent Armanino; his grandchildren, Lauren, Scott, Rachelle, Gina, Eric and his great grandchildren, Kylie, Grayson and Colton.

Erma R. Haskell Moss passed away on October 08, 2013 at the Power County Nursing Home.
Almost 99 years earlier, she was born November 08, 1914 in a small community of Sublett, in Cassia County Idaho. Erma was the first born of Raymond and Sarah Haskell, over the next 24 years, eight more joined the family.
Find-a-GraveIn 1929 the Haskell family moved from Sublett to a farm known as "The Cully Place" at the head of Spring Creek in Rockland Valley. The children attended the lower grades at a country school in East Fork and went to high school in Rockland. One of Erma's main chores in the family was to do the gardening, and from that she developed a great love for growing things.
She married Lloyd Moss in Rockland Idaho, on October 13, 1936. They were members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Lloyd and Erma had their marriage solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple in 1947.
In the fall of 1937, Lloyd and Erma leased a ranch in the Gros Ventre area of Teton County, Wyoming, where they lived until the ranch was sold. They moved around the valley a lot until 1950 when they bought a home about a mile west of Jackson city limits. The home site has long since been covered up by "progress" in the area now known as South Highway 89 where a boat and RV service is located.
While in Jackson, Erma worked at several motels and as a clerk at "The Trading Post".
Four of their five children were born in Teton County and, sadly, two of those children also passed there.
After living nearly 50 years in Jackson and Teton County, Wyoming, Lloyd and Erma returned to Southern Idaho where they had both been raised. They bought a home in American Falls, Idaho, and there Erma enjoyed working in her yard and raising beautiful flowers. She also did very nice needlework.

August 12, 2012POCATELLO - Ivan Vance Haskell, 89, died Thursday, August 9, 2012, of natural causes at the Pocatello Veterans Home. Born January 20, 1923, in Sublett, Idaho, Ivan was the fifth of nine children born to Raymond and Sarah Haskell. He married Iola Warner in Elko, Nevada on March 28, 1952. Ivan and Iola had two daughters, Debbie Youngstrom (Lyle) of Aberdeen, Idaho and Brenda Gillett (Terry) of Gilbert, Arizona, eight grandchildren and sixteen great grandchildren. Ivan was preceded in passing by his wife Iola (February, 2008), siblings (Lucille Porath, Ada Wangsgard, Alvin and Daniel Haskell) and one great granddaughter. His surviving siblings include Brothers George and Carl and Sisters Erma Moss and Lola May Stokes. Ivan had been a member of the American Falls 4th Ward of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints prior to entering assisted living facilities in Pocatello.
Ivan received his elementary and high school education at schools in the Sublett and Rockland, Idaho areas, followed by one semester at Albion State Normal School. In January, 1943 he was called into the armed service, received training as an Air Force Cadet and received his Flight Officer Commission and a Navigator Rating for the B17 and B29 bombers.
Following his military service he began farming, mostly in the American Falls area, which became his primary means of supporting his family. Although he worked a number of farms his longest employment was at the Vard Meadows farm in the Rockland valley. He loved being out-of-doors, studying the land and enjoying the wildlife. He also took a period of time in his career to earn a Realtors License and to sell Real Estate. As he completed his farming career he was blessed to be able to spend many hours at his childhood home near Rockland. Being at the "Cully place" brought him great satisfaction as he remembered those wonderful childhood days.
Ivan's greatest joy came in his family relationships, particularly with his grandchildren and great grandchildren. He received great joy in exploring, hiking, swimming, playing games and teaching them his favorite tricks and jokes. Many times, as the children would accompany him to the "Cully place" near Rockland, there would be a surprise for them, maybe a new trail with scary inhabitants or a new toy he had constructed. He was very creative and enjoyed using his skills to make things for the children. He also loved to tell anyone who would listen about his experiences as a Navigator on the bombers. He kept models of the planes and would show the children where he sat in the plane and the experiences he had during World War II.
In Ivan's later years he renewed his interests in sports and trained diligently in swimming and running so he could compete in the Senior Games. He participated several times in the games and received many "gold medals" and other rewards for his efforts. His commitment to training for and participating in the games was an inspiration to those who knew him. His stash of medals will be shared amongst his family as an example and remembrance of this good man.
